Test Cricket Draft : Group C

[AldoRaine18]

Vote for the strongest team out of the three considering the balance and individual quality. Only the Test Career has to be considered. Two out of the three teams will go ahead. Write ups can be added by the managers if they want, and I will update it in the OP. Players who made their debut post 1970 were eligible to be picked.

[Himannv]

Voted for Jager and Michael.

 

[kingkallis]

Voted for Jager and Michael.

As if you had any other option

 

[kingkallis]

Jager gets the vote for his fantastic bowling line up
Sam gets it for the overall balance

 

[Jager]

Are people supposed to vote for themselves?

 

[watson]

I think that Himannv has just shot himself in the foot. He should be leading 3-1-1, but now the other two participants have an advantage unless they even the ledger.

 

[kingkallis]

Nope! ( Though I voted for my own team in my very first draft as well...lol )

 

[watson]

Drat.

The inclusion of Kepler Wessells in Himannv's team (I can still see Bob Willis targeting Kepler's leg stump as his right foot heads toward the line of off-stump), and the lack of a real quick in Michael's team is making it difficult to choose. I like both Greg Chappell and Iqbal Qasim too.

 

[kingkallis]

But you will love Kepler's square cuts and late cuts.

 

[Himannv]

Well, I may lose the draft due to the way I voted, but I have no regrets about the way I went about it and the team I've picked.

 

[watson]

That's interesting. Just went to cast my second vote but can't because it says - 'You have already voted on this poll'. I've just learned something.

You can post your choice here and we can count it later if need be.

OK. Himannv - because of Imran and Chappell.

Himan and Mick Jager

 

[AldoRaine18]

Thanks for the votes everyone.

Counting watson's vote, Himmanv wins this group so he can pick a player first from Michael's team. And then Jager can pick his.
