Yeah. Excellent pick.
Now Brockley's up. As Tom Cooper still hasn't been taken, I'm guessing he'll want him but he gets a 2nd pick too.

Glen McGrath was a poor man's Ole Mortensen - Derbyshire's Dane was a model of consistency

Morgieb up and Howe still up for round one.

Ahh ****. Was going to take him Round 1 but took a calculated gamble on him sliding because I had two picks before Heath's next pick. Morgie WAC.

Haha. I was definitely going to take Curran too.

And the word 'sliding' is banned from this draft. This isn't some late 90s B-grade Science Fiction series.
Camo & Howe up.

Does Howe get another 12 hours or is he auto-skipped again?

Skipped again. Given he didn't pick Round 1, it shows a lack of interest.

Dave Houghton

Surprised he's still available, but Duncan Fletcher.
Tbf, I'd have taken Houghton ahead of him I think.
BFP up, followed by a double-pick for Fred.
Can a moderator (i.e. Vladimir Ashwell?) update the OP?

Couple of Sinhalese for me
Gamini Goonesena - leg spinning all-rounder
Clive Inman - batsman and scorer of an 11 minute fifty

Pre-Test Sri Lankans are definitely my big blind spot here. I back my knowledge on contemporary associates and pre-Test Zimbabwe but these Sri Lankans I know very little of. Looking forward to reading up on them actually.

James Aitchison
A decent first class record, and that's without his defining innings - a century against the touring Australians in 1956 - a line-up featuring Lindwall, Davidson, Miller and Benaud. Also carried his bat for a ton against the touring South Africans in 1947.
The Scotsman newspaper of the day noted in 1947: "Altogether it was an encouraging day for Scottish Cricket, for South Africa fielded eight Test men and most of the bowlers who will be playing against England this week. With a bit of help from Sheppard, Aitchison provided a very solid bulwark to the tourists' bowling, and, though giving the semblance of a chance at 49, played some brilliant cricket during his stay of 250 minutes. He hit thirteen 4s, excelling so much in his drives through cover-point, that the South African captain, Nourse, had to strengthen the position, though, as soon as he sealed up the gap there, Aitchison got boundaries with some hefty hitting to long-on."
Should be a very useful opener or #3 in this tournament.
