Oh ****.....good catch

 

[ankitj]

I completely forgot about Asif myself.

For those of us who know not much about Mohd Asif;

Mohammad Asif | Pakistan Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo

Seems like a very capable bowler and interesting character.

I remember PEWS's standardized bowling averages table. Asif was one of the few bowlers whose standardized average was about 5 or 6 points below his actual average of 24.

This is sarcasm right?

Bart King- America and Philadelphia's greatest bowler, and rated by Plum Warner as one of the greats of the early era. Rounds my attack out nicely. Handy bat too.

Having Mailey and Bart King in the same team is pretty cool because Mailey always maintained that the American was the best pace bowler he ever saw, and that included Gregory, McDonald, Larwood, Tate, Lindwall, and Miller. I think that it was probably Mailey's writing that helped create the 'legend' of Bart King.

It's only a photo, but he looks like he'd have generated some pace.

 

[ankitj]

Less than 2 hours to go for Garson before he times out.

 

[kyear2]

In the future probably should revert to 12 hour intervals. 18 hours is too long.

 

[Spikey]

Less than 2 hours to go for Garson before he times out.

Garson picked. We're waiting for Marcusssssssszzzzz

 

[Prince EWS]

I fell for cricinfo's penchant of calling everyone whose ever picked up the gloves, a wicketkeeper.

Ahh the Puttick trap.

 

[ankitj]

Marcuss timed out. Michael up.

 

[Prince EWS]

Timed out of his own draft; a new low for Marcuss's foruming career.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

I'll take Neil Harvey (79 Tests, 6149 Runs, 3 Wickets) for my next selection please
