“Universally Challenged” Draft Idea

[Teuton]

Enamul Haque (Snr) 18 wkts in 10 tests @ 57

 

[fredfertang]

Into the third round of a draft and no West Indian fast bowlers chosen - how rare is that?

So I'll change all that with the selection of a man who played 37 times in Tests, and took 85 wickets at 47.85

Daren Powell

Mind you he was better in Tests than he was for Lancashire where two seasons brought him seven wickets at 49.00 - not that I'm bitter

 

[marc71178]

Abdur Razzaq to bowl some SLA filth

MrPrez > kingkallis > SillyCowCorner1

Flem274 has a catch up pick at his own convenience

 

[a massive zebra]

MrPrez times out.

kingkallis > SillyCowCorner1 > me

Flem274 and MrPrez have catch up picks at their own convenience.

 

[kingkallis]

Blair Hartland to open with Jehan Mubarak. We guarantee to be 7/2 or max 10/2.

Blair Hartland does not meet the minimum 10 Tests criteria.

My next pick is Mohammad Sharif, who took 14 wickets @ 79.00 in 10 tests.

My next pick to open up round 4 is Guy de Alwis, a wicketkeeper who averaged 8 over 11 Tests.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Devon Smith please

 

[kingkallis]

Bryce McGain in that case

 

[Teuton]

He only played 1 test

Bryce McGain in that case

Sorry about this, but the rules (10 Tests minimum) were clearly outlined in the opening post. Given Blair Hartland did play 9 Tests you might think he meets the spirit of this thread and I am being rather harsh by not allowing him, but at the end of the day I've got to set the bar somewhere. I have no intention of being a Nazi about this and if several people comment to say they think I have been too harsh, I can lower the bar to 8-9 Tests minimum and allow Hartland. Unless and until this happens, he will remain ineligible.

One test wonders like Bryce McGain are most definitely ineligible. This is not negotiable.

You are up again now.

 

[kingkallis]

Ajit Agarkar

He played 26 games and took only 58 test wickets @ 47. Jeez!

 

[a massive zebra]

Agit Agarkar is fine. You have one more pick.

 

[kingkallis]

Ashish Nehra

 

[a massive zebra]

MrPrez x2 > marc71178 > fredfertang

Flem274 has a catch up pick.

 

[the big bambino]

I believe CK’s brother CS Nayudu played 11 tests and took 2 wickets in them at an average of 180. Leg spinner apparently.
