Draft suggestion: AusWI Xis

[AndrewB]

OK, reiterating the rules:

There are 12 regular regional teams in Australian/West Indian FC cricket: Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, New South Wales, Queensland, South Austraia, Tasmania, Trinidad & Tobago, Victoria, Western Australia, Windward Islands.

Anyone (from any country) - apart from Don Bradman - who has played FC cricket for any of these teams is eligible for this draft; he will represent whichever of these 12 teams he played FC cricket for first. You must pick an XI which represents 11 of these teams (with no restriction on which team you leave unrepresented). To avoid confusion, when you pick a player please say which team he represents.

24 hours for each 1st round pick: 12 hours for each later pick. (As usual, the picking order for each even round will be the reverse of the previous round).

Order for Round 1:
mr_mister
The Battler's Prince
stephen
Teuton
fredfertang
AndrewB
bagapath
Camo999
Red Hill
honestbharani

 

[mr_mister]

I'm very hastily gonna go with Ricky Ponting from Tasmania

 

[honestbharani]

I can never get lucky with the draft order for the first round, can I?

 

[honestbharani]

It certainly gives the overall FC average and lists the teams played for. If we can get the numbers played for each team, please tell me how!

sorry, my bad. I assumed they had statsguru for the FC stats as well.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Glenn McGrath - NSW

 

[Teuton]

24hrs are up so I will pick

Curtly Ambrose (Leeward islands)

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I'm feeling rather foolish right now but thanks Teuton for making me feel better

 

[fredfertang]

Garry Sobers - Barbados

 

[AndrewB]

Richard Hadlee - Tasmania

 

[bagapath]

Leeward Islands - Sir Viv Richards

 

[mr_mister]

Richard Hadlee - Tasmania

Are you ****ing kidding me

 

[Camo999]

Damn. Was hoping Hadlee would slide down to my turn. Good pick. I'll go for Dennis Lillee (WA)

 

[bagapath]

Richard Hadlee - Tasmania

Hahaha. Cunning bastard

 

[Red]

Shane Warne- Vic

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Possibly the slowest draft ever

 

[bagapath]

Possibly the slowest draft ever

I am a 42 year old borderline diabetic. I hope this draft finishes before I die.

 

[honestbharani]

Did you guys actually let Keith Miller slide down to me? New South Wales, btw.

 

[Camo999]

Think you might get a double pick Honestbharani?

Also

...he will represent whichever of these 12 teams he played FC cricket for first.

Like all the best NSW players, pretty sure Keith Miller was Victorian

 

[Red]

It's been over 24 hours since I picked and I won't be back online for the day so I'm gonna pick now.

Barry Richards- South Australia.

 

[AndrewB]

Round 1 picks:
mr_mister: Ricky Ponting (Tas)
The Battlers Prince: Glenn McGrath (NSW)
Teuton: Curtly Ambrose (LI)
fredfertang: Garry Sobers (Bar)
AndrewB: Richard Hadlee (Tas)
bagapath: Viv Richards (LI)
Camo999: Dennis Lillee (WA)
Red Hill: Shane Warne (Vic)
honestbharani: Keith Miller (Vic)

No pick from stephen yet (I note that he never actually said he wanted to take part). honestbharani can switch pick if not happy with Miller being a Victorian (though I can't see why you would!)

12 hours now for each pick.

Round 2:
honestbharani: Malcolm Marshall (Bar)
Red Hill: Barry Richards (SA)
Camo999: Ian Botham (Q)
bagapath: David Boon (Tas)
