The normal awards that everyone else has
Jack Gregory- batting average between 25-40.

Jack Gregory | Australia Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo

Gives me a very good third pace option. Underrated all-rounder who gives me some very handy batting at 7 and 8 with Benaud. Left hand batsman as well, to break up my totally right handed batting line up!


1. Gordon Greenidge

3. Ian Chappell
4. Vijay Hazare
5. Frank Worrell (5)
6. AB DeVilliers
7. Jack Gregory (3)
8. Richie Benaud (4)

Transvaal from 1890-1997 and Gauteng from '97 til present.

Certainly wasn't Gauteng when Mitchell played, but Mitchell would be listed on Gauteng's famous player lists....

If you asked any Gauteng fan whether Bruce Mitchell played for them, they'd unquestionably say yes. Picking him is not so much a technicality as it is actually displaying an in-depth knowledge of the history of cricket. It should be fine IMO, especially given how broad the Presidential one became.

The precedent was set, yeah so fair pick but still technically he didn't play for a team that starts with alphabet "G".

Even if you look at Cricinfo or any other list of past winners of SA domestic winners it lists them as Transvaal before 1997 and Guateng afterwards and so did the name he wore on his cap/shirt.

If i were to use this loophole in reverse, then it will open a further pandora's box as many cities/states have changed names more than 04/05 times plus been part of larger teams that were divided later or merged.

Also, Frankly the best strategy in this seems to be discovering a loophole picking the player and hoping no one complains. :p

Was stupid to ask before picking personally as stretching the boundary this much in some questions and that much in other questions all seems a bit too much subjective.

In any case the precedent was set way back when Marcuss picked Graeme Pollock. Fair pick imo
Yeah I wouldn't have picked him had it not been set with the Pollock selection (which I seem to have missed... CricSim stealing my forum time these days!)

Very handy pick at this stage though.

I'll be policing things more strongly next time we draft like this.
