[MrPrez]

Not 100% happy with Gregoy as my 5 but with Faulkner/Rice/Oldfield behind him and even Foster at 9, I'm happy enough with the batting.

Bowling may lack a star pacer but Foster/Hearne/Rice is still pretty strong, and then there's the spin-partnership of Faulkner/Blythe.

It may not be quite as star-packed a team as some others, but I reckon this team would be just as, if not more, effective.

Blythe is one of the best sneaky picks of the draft.

Congratulations to the eight people who have now completed the draft. Some excellent and very interesting teams covering a wide spectrum of Test history as is almost guaranteed by the demands of this draft. I will hold the draft open for a few more days in order to allow the three remaining players (SillyCowCorner1, Michaelf7777777 and Red Hill) to complete their drafts.

anyone got any ideas whom I could pick?

Jack Fingleton 1980s, then Cowdrey doesn't have to open.

SCC and Michael have 48 hours from now to complete their teams. Otherwise, I may start the draft vote without them.

 

[mr_mister]

Michael for sure can be forgotten about

I'll do something tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay guys.
