Shane Warne (36)

Let's stick with what we've started with, ie what OS said


There's only 7 drafters so nobody will have to dig too deep into lesser known players. Just a glance at a players cricinfo batting or bowling summary than their DOB doesn't seem too hard. We'll basically all secure ATG heavy teams

 

[honestbharani]

​ Keith Miller - 25 wickets at age of 32.

 

[mr_mister]

You're using him at 8? Interesting

[Teuton]

Ok then. Change Barnes from 40 to 39

 

[The Battlers Prince]

​ Keith Miller - 25 wickets at age of 32.

You tell Keith Miller to bat at 8 and he'll tell you to shove it and go straight to the bar.

 

[honestbharani]

Nah.. that is just the batting order you give out to the opposition captain to mess with his plans. He will walk in at 5 when we are 300/3. Don't worry about it.

 

[mr_mister]

Sachin Tendulkar when he was 37 in 2010

 

[honestbharani]

I guess Mr2 can pick now

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I think Graeme Pollock 19
Jack Hobbs 29
Sorry for the delay

 

[mr_mister]

Hobbs is 30(most tons in 1912, born in 1882)


Pollock is 20 or 21

(most tons in '64 and '65, born in 44)

 

[mr_mister]

Malcom Marshall 26

(born '58 most wickets '84)

Round 1:

OverratedSanity - Imran Khan (35)
AndrewB - Gary Sobers (22)

mr_mister - Malcom Marshall (26)
honestbharani -
morgieb -
Teuton -
AndrewB -
OverratedSanity -

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Hobbs is 30(most tons in 1912, born in 1882)


Pollock is 20 or 21

(most tons in '64 and '65, born in 44)

Ok, I was going off actual age. As Hobbs was born 16 December, he made 4 tons when he was 29 and similarly for Pollock who scored the most centuries while he was actually 19.

Edit: all good I see how we're doing it.

 

[Teuton]

Morgieb is up now

 

[morgieb]

Glenn McGrath (31)

 

[Teuton]

George Headley 21

 

[honestbharani]

Adam Gilchrist - 34 (3 centuries) or 66 dismissals at age 33.

 

[mr_mister]

The dismissals record for keepers is an interesting option I hadn't considered. I'll allow it
