When do I get to pick my player from South Africa?

 

[morgieb]

Inzy.

 

[Howe_zat]

[Justo]

Finally a bit of a turnaround with my luck. Considering what I got I'm not completely unhappy with the team. While my openers are rather terrible every one of my bowlers can handle a bat.

01. Shahriar Nafees
02. Alistair Campbell
03. Rahul Dravid
04. Graeme Pollock
05. VVS Laxman
06. Thilan Samaraweera 5
07. Shakib Al Hasan 4
08. Khaled Mashud +

10. Malcolm Marshall 1
11. Chaminda Vaas 3

When do I get to pick my player from South Africa?

At the completion of this round mate. I think that's fair.

Then we'll do the 12th rd with a random order. Anyone can pick anyone who's not been picked.

When it comes to voting we'll probably have to choose the 'strongest teams' as usual.

However, this Draft is a little different in that no one can help if they 'get stuck' with a lot of players from Zimbabwe/Bangladesh. Therefore, my selections will be biased toward teams that seem creative. That is, teams that maximise their available resources and cover apparent weaknesses.

Obviously, if a team is superb then there will be no escaping that fact, but I hope that you understand where I'm coming from.

 

[Cabinet96]

Seems I still owe another pick.

Cute horse BeeGee.

Round 12 ??

 

[Jarquis]

Is there a list of picks? I'm on my phone sorry

 

[Howe_zat]

Picked Saffas

Kallis, Faulkner, Richards, Donald, G Pollock, Procter, Steyn, S Pollock, B Richards, Tayfield

 

[Howe_zat]

Could you not pick Neil Adcock btw, I should have picked a South African myself back in round 8 but was told to wait due to bureaucracy. As you've actually taken longer than I did on that occasion it would be sporting of you to let me have him

 

[Jarquis]

Well he's kinda who I want. So this is a bit awkward..

 

[Howe_zat]

Sportsmanship is dead.

 

[Howe_zat]

You can pick him ftr, I'm just being cheeky

 

[Coronis]

Still plenty of great SA bowlers left.
