Think you copied someone else's team for PEWS.

 

[harsh.ag]

Always knew PEWS was a closet socialist.

 

[jimmy101]

Oops. My bad. Fixed.

Technically I just voted for Vimes twice, but after looking at PEWS' team it would have made my top 3 anyway. Phew!

 

[mr_mister]

Gave Frank Constanza a vote even though I have this irrational hatred for Dwayne Bravo

 

[Howe_zat]

I like Vimes' team, as it includes a player called Norbert.

 

[jimmy101]

Bump. Just two more days for voting!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Last chance to vote

 

[Zinzan]

Woot!

Ironically, I didn't think I'd do as well in this one as the 30K run draft, which I didn't even make the top 3...

C'mon Jimmy... you going to do the awards ceremony?... Be sure to play the New Zealand national anthem please!

 

[jimmy101]

It is a great team Zinzan, I could imagine your guys trading in their maroon caps for honorary black ones.

Roberts & Gilchrist is a scary opening bowling attack to say the least. Back them up with Winston, the better Benjamin (slightly), the serviceable Bravo & the underrated Ramnarine, & your bowling is looking good. You have the twin towers in Lara & Richardson, who are clearly the key for your team, but what I like about your batting is that everyone in the top 6 averaged more than 30 with the bat at Test level and all have multiple Test centuries, which is saying quite a lot for a draft such as this. Well done on the win, Mr Costanza would be proud.

People voted for you because of the name of your team IMO.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Zinzan, Cribb, amz is a fair podium I reckon.Thanks jimmy for running it!

 

[mr_mister]

So it only seems natural to make an Asian XI draft thread next


but that leaves 3 teams left. An African XI draft would basically be a South African draft plus the Flowers and Streak, but what about an African plus New Zealand draft thread? That could be interesting

 

[AldoRaine18]

Picking Lara or Headley, former more than the latter, was the wisest choice in this. You knew you were going to have some not-so-great names in the team, and who better to lead such a team.

Top job running it.

 

[jimmy101]

Cheers mate. I'm still up for running the NZ version sometime soon. Maybe after the Aus & Eng drafts have finished up.

 

[a massive zebra]

Not sure I deserved bronze with perhaps the least potent opening bowling attack in the competition and a number seven batsman with an average in the low 20s, but many thanks for the votes and congratulations to Zinzan and the esteemed guru, Cribb.
