It's surprisingly tough, this.

Teuton
NUFAN
Marcuss

AndrewB & hb was an especially tight call; hb probably edges the batting with Gubby Allen coming in as low as #10 there's some depth there, Andy's seamers probably shade it, Wally Hammond definitely the best first change option between them, both teams have v strong spin attacks, but I think hb's variety of spin just get him over the line.

Yeah hb-AndrewB is extremely close but I think Stollmeyer and hb's bowling attack just about cuts it for Andrew. Could easily swing the other way though.

I think I have been knocked out. It's been fun drafting. Lol


Definitely one of the strongest teams I have assembled in draft history.

I stood no chance after Teuton grabbed O'Reilly and Steyn. I never knew Steyn had a William in his name, but O'Reilly was my first round pick before I changed it to WG Grace. Should have stuck with O'Reilly, would've had at least on ATG bowler.

Anyhow, well played Teuton

Would be good to get a few more voters for those closer battles. MM, Howe, SCC, Ankit, care to throw down some votes?
