the having to lose to win draft

[honestbharani]

Cant we just pick the Indian team of the 90s? Cant lose at home and cant win away.. 6th best overall, I am sure..

 

[Red]

i'll jump in.

 

[dogwalker]

Cullinan was a fine fine player. His cuts and pulls were remarkable.

And cover drives. Was the best looking stroke-player I've seen.

Obviously when it really mattered he was a complete disappointment.

 

[morgieb]

Are we rewarding sides who are **** away from home and therefore bat to 9?

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

I'll try my hand at this one. Might be able to make some left-field picks here, which is always satisfying.

It's from a loving place within that I start this race to mediocrity with a great of the game (Burgey's love of him not withstanding), my favourite Aussie captain, AB

 

[jimmy101]

Any chance I could get in on this? Don't mind picking last in R1

 

[Jarquis]

Echo the above sentiments

 

[NUFAN]

I did say no more entries after first pick but if schearzie is ok with it, you can both..

 

[NUFAN]

Actually on second thought you are both welcome it's one pick FFS and schearzie can adapt his team easily enough.

I wonder when my boi gets selected..

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I don't mind

 

[Red]

Not entirely sure of my tactics here, but I'll take Greg Matthews.

 

[NZTailender]

Damn, wish I had got in on this. Just about all my favourite cricketers can be classed as mediocre.

 

[NUFAN]

NZT you are in. Sweet 16 is the final number, locked in.

Oh and yeah yeah

 

[honestbharani]

Carl Hooper... aristocratic mediocrity FTW...

 

[cnerd123]

So the 6th best team out of the 13 here wins?


Interesting.

 

[jimmy101]

Carl Hooper... aristocratic mediocrity FTW...

Nice pick. When playing at his best Hooper was probably the sixth best all-rounder of his day. I just loved the way he'd murder spinners

 

[watson]

Just out of interest - will we be voting for the 3 strongest teams and then see who polls 6th after the votes are counted? Or will we literally have to vote for the 6th strongest team?
