Draft: Best of 1980s and 1990s

[Red]

And with the last two picks, the market for openers looking increasingly like this.

Feeling cosy with Greenidge and Taylor tucked away.

Looks good to me, especially the bowling.

 

[NUFAN]

David Boon

About time.

 

[Red]

About time.

When I picked Richie Richardson I was after the best number 3 available. Had to choose between RR and Boon. Was 50/50 tbh.

Boon is a vastly underrated batsman imo.

 

[Pothas]

Mohinder Amarnath

 

[kingkallis]

I'll pick Mushtaq Ahmed. He did extremely well in 90s ( 172 wickets from 43 games ). His strike rate remains best among the spinners who took more than 100 wickets. Better SR than Warne, Murali and Kumble - that says a lot about Mushy's talent.

[bagapath]

Boon is a vastly underrated batsman imo.

I agree there should be more Boonie love. I was going to pick him as an opener. Ambrose found him to be the toughest opponent ever; that is good enough for me.

 

[harsh.ag]

Javagal Srinath and Majid Khan.

 

[harsh.ag]

Sourav Ganguly and Majid Khan.

If I am allowed to change my selection, then I would like to take Javagal Srinath ahead of Sourav Ganguly. Up to the mod.

 

[watson]

It's not unusual for people to 'edit' their picks before the next person takes their turn - but it's always done quickly for obvious reasons. I would advise 'editing' your pick now before KK logs on. (Hope I've said the right thing - just my opinion)
