CW Draft League - The Reserves

Matthew Hayden
Geoff Boycott
Len Hutton*
Denis Compton
Graeme Pollock
Viv Richards
Kapil Dev (3)

[Jarquis]

Merchant

 

[ankitj]

Since a lot of us want to use the 12th player in first XI, are we allowed to skip round XI?

 

[Michaelf7777777]

@8ankitj No, but you can make whomever you want 12th man with the round 12 pick batting anywhere

I'll take Vinoo Mankad as my next pick

[Agent TBY]

Both blahblahblah and morgieb have timed out. Cabinet96 can pick now, and Camo999 has a double pick afterwards.

 

[Jarquis]

Was only 12 hours for a double pick earlier in the draft so blahblahblah, morgie, cabinet, camo, camo and cabinet all to pick...

 

[Camo999]

Learie Constantaine as my pick 11 (to essentially be 12th man)

Alan Knott as my 12th pick to slot in at no 8 (think he's still available??)

Lawry
Grace
Richardson R
Dravid
Trumper
Waugh S
Sobers
Knott +
Laker
Lillee
Barnes

Constantine (12th)

 

[Agent TBY]

I knew it.

 

[morgieb]

Eddie Barlow.

 

[Jarquis]

and again I think?

 

[Dan]

I can't keep up with all the timings out, so how about blahblahblah and Cabinet96 have two picks due, and morgieb has one?

Constantine (12th)

Really nice team. Bowling attack of Lillee, Barnes, Laker, Sobers, Grace & S.Waugh is versatile for most conditions.

Sobers at 7 could be higher, I'd certainly bat him above Waugh. The thought of Trumper and Sobers batting together is pretty sweet.

I'd put Dravid at 3 and RR at 4, just seems more natural to me. Or maybe interchange them depending which opener goes out first. Dravid and Lawry batting together could get a bit slow.

The batting orders are determined by the round in which the player was picked. Hence why you'll see Don Bradman at 7 in Michael7777777f's team.

 

[morgieb]

Richie Benaud.
