Funky idea for a draft, XIs will only be made of players from 2 chosen decades

[OverratedSanity]

ill also take my last pick since nobody else has the 20s


Maurice Tate


Ponsford
Sutcliffe
Hammond
Barrington
May
Kanhai
Ames
Tate
Davidson
Larwood
Grimmett


Had Gregory, Constantine and Tate to choose from. My batting is already quite deep so thought I'd go with the best bowler(arguably)

Badass team. Love it.

 

[Zinzan]

Am I missing a round 11 order for those of us with others having the same decade? Or is it first served, best dressed from here?

 

[honestbharani]

David Gower

 

[anil1405]

David Gower

Zinzan picked him earlier.

 

[Zinzan]

David Gower

Yep, I nabbed him earlier since you nabbed my Martin Crowe

 

[honestbharani]

Ah crap... Gimme few mins..


This ain't over, Z

 

[Shri]

Red needs a #6 and I need an opener so we are unlikely to pick the same bat. I'll wrap things up by taking David Warner. If he was eyeing him for some reason, I'll let him have him if he asks.


1. David Warner
2. Justin Langer
3. Jacques Kallis
4. Virat Kohli *
5. Joe Root
6. Andy Flower +
7. Andrew Flintoff [4]
8. Vernon Philander [2]
9. Shane Warne [vc] [5]
10. Shoaib Akhtar [3]
11. Glenn McGrath [1]

 

[Johnners]

So confused, who is left to pick?

 

[anil1405]

waiting for hb to pick his Round 10 player but I guess I can go ahead and pick Bishen Bedi from 60's.

I guess hb and Samuel left to pick their Round 10 players.

 

[Red]

I'll finish off with Kane Williamson


Red Hill XI

Gordon Greenidge
Desmond Haynes
Kane Williamson
Greg Chappell
Steve Smith
Quinton de Kock +
Kapil Dev *
Ravi Ashwin
Malcolm Marshall
Andy Roberts
Joel Garner


Pretty handy side that. Love the bowling attack and the batting is very sound with the great WIs at the top followed by a very dependable middle order. Batting all the way down too.

Thanks Mr Mr I enjoyed this draft.

 

[Zinzan]

Finishing off with Jeff Dujon as keeper.

Happy as Larry with my XI.

Arguably 5 of the 7 or so top Asian cricketers of all-time with Imran, Gavaskar & Tendulkar, Miandad & Waqar

Some English steel in Gooch, and flair in Gower. 2 ATG all-rounders in Botham and Imran, excellent spinner in Qasim & 2 ferocious fast nasties in Waqar & Thomson.

Thanks for running in MM. Good to be involved in a fast moving draft for once, for the most part everyone was pretty quick to pick.

Spicy Pork & Fennel Meatballs XI

Sunil Gavaskar
Graham Gooch
David Gower
Sachin Tendulkar
Javed Miandad
Imran Khan* 1
Ian Botham 4
Jeff Dujon+
Iqbal Qasim 5
Waqar Younis 2
Jeff Thomson 3

 

[Shri]

Imran and Botham? Nice.

Almost as good as having Kallis and Flintoff.

 

[jimmy101]

Since we've seen no R11 order and Johnners, the only other person who might potentially clash with me, has already selected his two opening batsmen I'll go ahead & select the little Master Hanif Mohammad to finish off.

Final XI:

1 Hanif Mohammad
2 Bob Simpson /7
3 Ted Dexter
4 Everton Weekes
5 Frank Worrell /4
6 Garfield Sobers /6
7 Clyde Walcott +
8 Richie Benaud* /5
9 Fred Trueman /1
10 Frank Tyson /3
11 Neil Adcock /2

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Graeme Smith (00s)

and as Shri and OS have finished

Mark Waugh (90s) - picked mainly for fielding and as fifth bowler

Hayden
Smith*
+Sangakkara
Lara
Younus
Chanderpaul
M Waugh [5]
Pollock [3]
Gillespie [2]
Kumble [4]
Anderson [1]

 

[anil1405]

Might as well complete my 11 too as J_C is the only other guy who has opted for 60s but his middle order slots are full anyway.

Zaheer Abbas

Barry Richards
Geoffrey Boycott
Viv Richards
Dilip Vengsarkar
Zaheer Abbas *
Denis Lindsay +
Mike Procter (2)
Peter Pollock (4)
Dennis Lillee (1)
