The "I played for X in FC draft"

[Red]

Where a player has played FC cricket in his nation of birth for a particular FC team, and has then moved to another country and qualified for tests (and played) in his new country, then his FC teams from both his country of birth, and the FC team in the nation he qualified for tests in are both valid teams from which to pick that player from.

If you don't mind, put your picks for the round(s) and which team they played for at the top of your posts, cheers.

 

[Agent TBY]

Dilip Sardesai (Goa)

He never played for Goa, because the state didn't have an FC team during his career.

 

[Red]

Yeh, sorry. He's listed as Mumbai only.

Sorry fellas, this draft is turning out a bit more complicated than I thought it would!

 

[morgieb]

Yes just realised that.

In lieu of him, will pick Ajay Ratra. Wow the standards of Goa are low.

Fred Trueman (Yorkshire) - Round 5
Ajay Ratra (Goa) - Round 6

Now I'm taking a risk passing up a good wicket keeper in Russel, but my alternative is Grace or Hammond. I already have one of the H's so I'll go with Grace. I'm kind of feeling like I'm getting some lucky choices here

edit. I had picked Grace, but I'm going to chew it over a little longer. I can see people sticking it to me because Grace, as a test cricketer was not so awesome. Hammond IS awesome as a test cricketer. And an awesome slip, and a pretty decent bowler, which is all I expect people will classify Grace as.

Just reading opening post again, I'm not sure if I am picking a test team, a first class team, an all formats team or what. I'm guessing it is a FC team, thus Grace's impeccable dominance counts and all you haters will have no choice other than to hate. Before I pick - can I get some clarity?
