Shoaib Mohammad

Shoaib Mohammad

Shoaib is an interesting batsman because he appears to be at the heart of more Test wins for Pakistan than any other Pakistani batsman - including Javed Miandad and Zaheer Abbas etc. According to the following article that is;

Dave Houghton

 

[watson]

Must confess that I had to look him up;

Dave Houghton | Zimbabwe Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo

Appears to have made short work of Murali and Vaas (1994 tour) which is quite impressive - 266 runs during Zimbabwe's first innings at Bulawayo;

Have to agree as 13 Drafters makes for a rather convoluted (but enjoyable) process.

guys... please complete your teams by Round 11. the 12th and last round can be used to plug in a wildcard entry which can be any one player who has played at least one test match between jan 1,1980 and dec 31,1999.

Will there be enough very good players to around because the 12th and 13th people on the list won't be able to pick Adam Gilchrist et al, and therefore be sorely disadvantaged (?)

Trying to work out whether the idea is fair or not.

What about we randomise Round 12? Let God decide the order so that the puritans will automatically make the top of the list, and the Satanists will be cast to the bottom.

Yeah, I like it. A randomised Round 12 that is announced after Round 11 - with drum roll.

Right. However, wouldn't it be ironic if I got randomised rank last.

Would be ironic. The odds of improving your draft position would be favourable though. According to Tom Waterhouse, who I'm currently having a quiet beer with.

Incidentally, a friend told me the other day that I don't understand the concept of irony. Ironically, we were standing in the dairy aisle of the supermarket.

Then let Tom Waterhouse 'cast the first stone'.

Or to put it another way, if there is no problem being listed 12th or 13th for Round 12 then obviously there will be no objections to a randomised list. Will there?
