Mystery Box Draft

[Spikey]

how many rounds will there be?

 

[GIMH]

I got who I thought it was, despite it being a huge risk. Pretty pleased given what was left.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Didn't do any research so had no idea who I was likely to get. Happy with my pick ftr. Mathew Bell an absolute gun

 

[Howe_zat]

how many rounds will there be?

12

 

[uvelocity]

bummer. hey i was going to ask is there a minimum number of tests or is it all test players?

 

[uvelocity]

and optional question, whats the definition of all rounder?

 

[Coronis]

Didn't think of Brearley as batsman...

I knew I'd end up having Hutton or Compton. Glad to have my one opener and probably the captain sorted.

I would guess Cricinfo profile listing them that way?

 

[Howe_zat]

I would guess Cricinfo profile listing them that way?

When in doubt yeah.

 

[Howe_zat]

It could be anyone. I am skipping over a few cases of johnny two tests from 1964 so as we've at least heard of most of the options though.

 

[kingkallis]

Whose turn it is?

 

[Howe_zat]

GIMH to pick.

 

[Spikey]

although his 12 hours are up so Fred can pick too...?

 

[Howe_zat]

yeah ok

 

[fredfertang]

Pleased that Marcus picked the one he no doubt hopes is Harold Larwood, as that saves me agonising over whether to choose him or the man who might be DRJ - A for me
