Current English County Cricket Draft

TBF I'd ignore my posts if I could too!

Once we're through 6 rounds, is anyone opposed to two picks per round? Or do you want to keep it as it is?

Michael Lumb. IMHO one of the most improved players on the circuit. From being a no hoper at first class cricket at Hants he has turned himself into a reliable opener/3 at Notts and improved his consistency with the white ball where he can be explosive.

Is how the FC side shapes up atm. Got the option of moving Davies up to the top of the order.

Looks a powerful and strong middle order, if occasionally flaky with Bell, Patel and Davies in there. All 6 are adept at 40 over and 20 over as well.

Yeah, am pretty happy at this stage. Made a conscious decision to pick players who can play in all 3 forms and am glad to have wrapped up both a seam bowling allrounder and a spin bowling allrounder already. Should stand me in good stead when it comes to LO cricket.

I think I can compensate for the flakiness because in all likelihood they'll be a spot lower (batting to 7) as I can afford an extra specialist with Allenby and Patel already there.

Swann's obviously far and away the best English spinner so it's nice to have an area which I most definitely have all the other teams. Dernbach leading the attack isn't perfect but he's done really well in the Championship since 2010 and he'll take wickets (if nothing else) in the other forms.

Maybe. Would be good if someone other than myself updated the picked list once in a while.

Will do that and then sum up my options before picking.
