The "I played for X in FC draft"

[StephenZA]

Graeme Pollock (Eastern Province)

Tough choice

 

[anil1405]

For a state that has so many people Uttar Pradash seems to have not produced many great cricketer..... but my knowledge of Indian provincial cricket does appear limited..

Vijay Manjrekar

There are actually quite a few states (out of 29) which haven't produced many (if any) prominent cricketers who represented India.

Barbados. Damn close to choosing Marshall, but it has to be Sobers

5. Sourav Ganguly
6. Garry Sobers

 

[Zinzan]

Tough to leave out Dravid but I'd take Anil Kumble.

Not much between them, but you'll more likely find more top order batsmen than an all-time top 10 spinner.

R3

The Battlers Prince - Northerns/Easterns/Titans
mr_mister - Kerala

jimmy101 - Essex
morgieb - Punjab
AndrewB - Northern Districts (NZ)

Zinzan - Leeward Islands



No clashes so pick whenever you're on. I've taken Victor Ian out as he hasn't made a choice yet.

 

[anil1405]

Shane Bond - Canterbury

 

[jimmy101]

Graham Gooch (Essex)

 

[mr_mister]

I demand there be at least 12 rounds because I don't want either of my 2 avaliable international choices in my final XI. What a woeful pool of players Kerala has produced


my only international choices this round are Sadagoppen Ramesh and Sreessanth so I'll go Ramesh as he at least performed once or twice against decent teams

but srsly 2 tiny little indian FC teams in a row me no likey

Mohinder Amarnath

Take it up with the almighty List Randomiser mate.

 

[watson]

I blame almighty God for the Randomiser's results.

Anyway, I stumbled across this video when I typed 'Kashmir Cricket' into google. It shows the coolest and most skilful cricketer on the face of the planet.

You forgot Tinu Yohannan.

On a serious note, there are a handful of states in India which haven't produced a decent test cricketer.

watson got a real tough option too this round.

 

[Agent TBY]

Er, I just picked from Lancashire in R2. Please tell me I don't have to pick from them again.

 

[J_C]

Simon Jones.

 

[Zinzan]

Can't believe I'm passing on Viv Richards, but I overlooked Marshall for Sobers last pick, so in desperate need of a top fast bowler. Besides, I personally rank Ambrose every bit as high as a Test bowler as I do Richards as a test bat.

So big Curtly - (Leeward Islands) it is.

[watson]

About the closest I can come to choosing a big-name Kashmiri cricketer is Suresh Raina. Apparently his family comes from the 'Kashmiri Pandets' community.

But My selection is the off-spinning allrounder Parvez Ghulam Rasool Zargar - the club's only International Rep. after a single ODI against Zimbabwe, in Zimbabwe 2013.

Out of interest, you happier I left you Marshall or Sobers?

That`s like asking if you would prefer to have *** with 2 woman at their house or yours.... either works well, as long as you get the ***

(but I probably would have gone for Sobers too..)
