I don't suppose anyone feels like letting me change my last ODI pick, given no one who's gone since has been able to make a WI ODI selection?

I got work tomorrow and I want to go to bed and bagapath not online. He already picked all his West Indies Test players so Jeff Dujon mine.

He still needs a West Indies ODI players, but it looks like he needs an all rounder or batsmen. But I'll select Patick Paterson and Tony Gray as back up. Both aggressive ****s anyway

So lame, knew I should have not said anything. :@
Yeah, deserve that. I blame it being past two in the morning and my last minute panicky rethink...

If anyone seriously objects, I'm not fussed about taking King - he does have a pretty gun record.

Patterson.

FFS using that theory can I change Jones to Roger Twose. So lame you should change player mid draft. Fair enough if it as at the end and everyone is picked. You make a **** up you stick with it.

Only made the allowance because of how rapidly we've moved this draft and how late we've been staying up and the fact he only made the decision about 10 minutes before changing it, well and truly before most drafts see the next pick. If it bothers you that much I'm sure Matt will be more than happy to take King back,

Whatever, I'm really not fussed. Feel stupid having made about 10 posts in five minutes on the topic.

Athlai, Tharmi is right, change it back to King, I'm quite happy to have him anyway.
