McCabe was a ****ing gun.

sure, I just feel at 48 he's too "expensive" for this draft. Like Viv @ 50 is good value. You never see McCabe make anyone's ATG XI's

 

[Red]

Bradman was a massive fan.

I dunno how 48 is expensive. It's his average and he was a great IMO.

From memory Fred includes him in his ATG Aust team, and there's no reason for him not to be considered at 4 or 5.

@MrMister I can see your point but I think you are underestimating what an extra 5-runs can give you in this draft....

 

[Slifer]

Collie Smith 31.69

 

[NUFAN]

Collie Smith 31.69

Great pick. I've been thinking of him the past 3 rounds or so. Everything I read about him makes me think you've just picked a guy who would have averaged low 40s not 30s if his career wasn't cut tragically short.

I had 3 different paths to take with my remaining picks, now down to 2.

 

[NUFAN]

Mister has timed out. Schearzie can pick. Would like to see round 9 order soon too.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I'm taking Brian Close. Unfortunately I didn't think of him earlier and so have to shuffle the batting order a bit. (25.34)

(Schearzie)

 

[NUFAN]

With a longish tail I think that I need a keeper who knows how to handle a bat..

Adam Gilchrist

Dammit... there goes one of my main paths...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Next round order?

 

[StephenZA]

Next round order?

Ask MrMr... he seems to have gone AWOL..... Maybe had a great Friday night/ Saturday morning?

Adam Gilchrist

Viv and Gilly in same team sounds so awesome.

 

[NUFAN]

Viv and Gilly in same team sounds so awesome.

Yep it would be very cool. I'm tempted a bit to bat Gilly at 4 just so they do get a chance to bat regularly together. I'm really happy to have 7 ATGs and an ATG captain. Fair to say that my remaining picks won't be of the same class.

 

[mr_mister]

I'm out at the moment, if someone else could put up the round order that'd be good. On my phone atm. I choose Kapil Dev
