Selection 8
You are required to select a Test Cricketer who has made 2 or more pairs in their Test career. Please link me to a stat which shows this or the two scorecards, cheers.

Don't forget about the banned players

You have 48 hours to email me your selections for 6b (if required), 7a, 8a. Don't forget answers from the first question take preference if the same cricketer is selected.

 

[Noble One]

Sent. Not hard questions, but tough in terms of now getting team balance correct.

Currently my team looks like this.

1 Bill Lawry
2
3
4
5 Ajay Jadeja
6 Warwick Armstrong
7
8
9
10 Ken Farnes
11 Rodney Hogg

12

I had three selections to make. Hard to judge when it is the best time to stock up on an opener, middle order bat, a wicket-keeper or another bowler.

 

[NUFAN]

It's getting hard now to find questions where their is roughly 20 to 30 possible answers excluding banned players and ones already picked.

I think rounds 9 or 10 (or possibly both) has to be a trickier question where none of the greats get chosen.

Harsh; I already have Ajay Jadeja masquerading around the quality players of my team.

Great draft. Always interesting having all time legends (Grace, Pollock, Crowe, Armstrong) mixing it with cricketers who would struggle to make a top 1000 Test cricketers of all time (Jadeja, Krejza)

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah I just thought it was about time to have a draft where you don't see the usual names mentioned all the time.

Selection nine is an oldie but a goodie.

Sweet

Took a punt and got a legend

Will send replies to 7 & 8 by early pm Sunday (Aus time) as am travelling until then

 

[NUFAN]

Just a friendly reminder to check current squads and banned players before making your selections

 

[James_W]

Holy **** I cannot believe my 6 got accepted.

 

[NUFAN]

Yep heaps of good players were picked in Selection 6, your choice James was one of the best.

Just waiting on selections from Pickup and Social for rounds 7 and 8. Really looking forward to naming the accepted and fails for these rounds..

 

[Noble One]

Think I'll be crushed if I miss out on Round 6 again. Struggling to second guess who everyone picked. Miss out again, and I'm guaranteed Afridi.

 

[NUFAN]

Results from 6b
Accepted: Social, Goughy, Samuel_Vimes, Michaelf7777777, James W, Biased Indian, Neil Pickup, fredfertang.
Failed: Noble One (your player chosen in 6a by Goughy).

Pickup still has 20 or so hours to go but, if he posts soon, I'll put all the results for rounds 7 and 8 up too.

Noble One has a tough task of selecting a successful candidate.

 

[Noble One]

Damn. I'll quickly send an answer for Round 6c off, so we can move on with the selections.

Edit: Ok, sent. Fingers crossed.

 

[NUFAN]

Okay cool before I look from now on, if someone isn't successful, I'm going to make it that everyone else that is successful gets to pick a player for you, the first player to get two votes is yours.

Noble One, you don't need to rush because I can't do results from 7a and 8a until I get the last email.

 

[biased indian]

Holy **** I cannot believe my 6 got accepted.

looks like lara for me
