[Coronis]

Courtney Walsh. McGrath woulda been perfect HB

Bagapath spoiled my plans.. sorry I had to do the same to you bro..

 

[kingkallis]

Spinners and when they were selected:

R1
O'Reilly
Faulkner

R2
Briggs

R3
Grimmett
Tayfield
Shakib
Johnston *

R4
Laker
Mankad

R5
Lock
Armstrong

R6
Benaud
Chandra
Greig *
Rhodes

R7
Bedi

R11
Warne
Murali



Sixteen spinners (if we include Johnston and Greig) were selected prior to R11.

Guess that's an example of what made this draft interesting. Once I knew I had first pick in R11 I decided I'd take Warne which made my R9 and R10 selections a bit easier, but sitting lower in R11 makes it a bit harder to plan.

You missed Verity

 

[kingkallis]

I'll take Kapil Dev.

CricZo XI

1. Len Hutton /
2. Herbert Sutcliffe /
3. Ted Dexter /
4. Clive Lloyd / (c)
5. Doug Walters / o (6)
6.
7.
8. Kapil Dev o / (3)
9. Hedley Verity o (5)
10. Curtly Ambrose o (1)
11. Sydney Barnes o (2)
12. Fazal Mahmood o (4) / Lindsay Hassett /

 

[kingkallis]

I am a bit confused about who to keep in playing XI as both Mahmood and Hassett are decent. On bowling friendly wickets I can go with Ambrose, Barnes, Kapil, Verity and Walters on roads I guess I may have to let go of Hassett and let Mahmood play.

I may keep both Mahmood and Hassett and make Kapil my No.12.

Who would you rate more? Kapil or Mahmood? No diplomatic answers please

 

[mr_mister]

i reckon hassett would get you more votes lol

 

[kingkallis]

i reckon hassett would get you more votes lol

At least yours

 

[kingkallis]

Can't believe one of the TOP 4 opener may remain unpicked. And those Aussie champs who got them out on N numbers of times.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Really Kingkallis??? Ffs how man bowlers do you need!!! Completely robbed.

I will take Sunil Gavaskar as one of my frontline pacers

12th man - Lasith Malinga



Glad I'm second pick in the final round, heh.

 

[NUFAN]

Lehmann is a fine enough player but I would play Malinga ahead of him. Greig can bat 6.

At the moment it looks like you have an ordinary away bat for the draw look about your side.

 

[mr_mister]

Point taken. But i chose waugh over miandad for his bowling lol
