Just to clarify Michael - did you really mean Alan Butcher who has played only 1 Test? And not perhaps Mark Butcher?

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Griffith and Larwood would be a handful.

 

[watson]

Tar Monk.

Just been going thru Gilmour's figures. His best series was against the West Indies in 1975/76:

Wickets = 20
Average = 20.30
SR = 39.1

It's a real shame that a foot injury then dodgy knees ended his career prematurely.

You're joking right? Compared to normal Drafts it's pretty ordinary, but this particular Draft with only 15 million to spend, and a lot of poor players on show (to say the least), has been really quite difficult.

Take a look at the other teams morgieb - it's a relative thing.

 

[smash84]

yeah, don't even look at my team. It sucks so bad it isn't even funny.

You can't grumble too much with Bill Lockwood though. Could have done worse.

 

[kyear2]

Nissar was to be my target
would have got him too
