Babushka draft

[kingkallis]

has Dhoni retired from tests?

Yup, he retired in 2014

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Shivnarine Chanderpaul - 21 years, 1 month, 14 days

Debut: March 17th, 1994
Last match: May 1st, 2015


I don't think he's gonna play another test for Windies

 

[ankitj]

I think mr_mr timed out. I'll start with Jacques Kallis (18y 0m 12d)

 

[mr_mister]

gotta go with George Headley

24 years and change

 

[watson]

Sachin Tendulkar - 24 years and 1 day

 

[Himannv]

Jack Hobbs (22 years 233 days)

 

[ankitj]

Jimmy101 is timed out. Shri > Kingkallis to finish the round

 

[jimmy101]

Apologies for the hold up. Time for me to make my first selection. Richard Hadlee (17 years, 5 months, 9 days) makes the hangover slightly better.

 

[jimmy101]

Shri > KK (x2) > Shri

 

[Shri]

My strategy is to mostly pick players who burned bright for a short time rather than those that smoldered for ages.

Muthiah Muralitharan - 17y 328d

 

[kingkallis]

Denis Compton ( 19 years 203 days )
Wally Hammond ( 19 years 91 days )

 

[jimmy101]

Alrighty. Looking good so far, we're seeing some really intelligent drafting. We'll now have 8 hour time limits between picks.
