Tip Snooke



The bowler in that 12 with the highest bowling average is actually Bruce Reid at 24... So that tells you how strong a bowling side I was able to draft and with the combined powers of awesomeness (Cake + icing + a drink) from Trumper, Lara, Walters and the cake layer of Smith, Dexter, Mussey and one of the greatest keeper batsmen of all time in Van Der Bijl, this side truly deserve the moniker of the Hunks... One of the best sides I have ever drafted.


Screw you Zaltzy and Bradmanny.. :p

Probably lacking a gold-tier quick, otherwise I'm pretty happy with that. Screwing up and picking a guy already taken in Q10 hurt bad.

Not my best effort it has to be said, Huge error at the start going for (and not even getting) Broad when there were so many great players to choose from, not getting McGrath in that last round did not help either.

Thanks everyone. I think Aldo has too many Sheep to be in with a chance, so from the 13 teams listed above in my post and Michaelf7777777's - email me your top 3 picks. Please make it distinguishable who your top pick is vs your third pick. Points will be awarded 3-2-1 and I'll announce the top 3 on Sunday night so please have your picks in by say Sunday 6pm, Sydney time.

Sorry for the delay NUFAN, but you are right, you can go ahead without my team. It went out of the draft at a pretty early stage.
