Sheep Draft version 5.0

[watson]

I wish, still it gives me a bit of time to prepare for my rapidly approaching court battle with the evil Mrs Fertang

You have my empathy.

 

[watson]

Re-sent for this round.

Great questions Nufan….proving to be worthwhile challenges to find unique players, but not impossible.

I have a scientific method for overcoming my dithering. I make a shortlist of 3-4 players and then get my little girl to chose one for me. In fact, I've just been asked whether I ended up getting "Rowing Kangi" or not.

 

[weeman27bob]

Thought more people would have gone for Lillee but apparently not. Surprised to see so many go for Shaun Pollock though.

Got a cracking first pick though.

 

[adub]

I reckon plenty of people like me were short of some good pace options which is why Lindy and Polly were popular

n00fers bowing to spikey pressure.

tired as ****, will do it tom

 

[morgieb]

Urgh, failed in the areas where I needed it most.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Just for question 8 and all questions actually.. If I say career, I'm talking about Test career.

Glad that the questions are proving a bit challenging Monk.

Now thats quite different from career isnt it?
Will resend a pick that complies tommorow.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

As luck would have it, my weakest pick got through, although I really shot myself in the foot by not checking availy beforehand

 

[weeman27bob]

I thought about going for the cheeky career rather than test career option and seeing if he'd dismissed anyone in some kind of charity game who nobody else would have thought of.

But then I realised I had better things to do than try and find scorecards for old charity games.

Yep. Definitely the case. But perhaps that's why I'm surprised an alternative wasn't chosen.

Yep. The threat of me being removed as host of this draft was too much for me, lol.

Well yes it is. But Sheep Draft is always Tests only. I'll include the word Tests in each question though again, just for clarity.

Just waiting on Riggins, Uve and Adub. I'll post results after work.

 

[adub]

sent but expecting to be back for round 3 again...

Yeah, the Trueman question is a real bugger for those of us left behind because there's not a whole load of wriggle room.

Ohh yess.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Damn, only noticed until now, but how did someone slip by with Miller? I blame Monk

I like your sense of humour adub

I don't know, nor want to know what you get up to with your favourite Corriedale in the privacy of your own paddock...
