Sheep Draft 7.0

[stephen]

Looks less out of place than Al Sahariar, whoever he is!

Reading over his profile on cricinfo it looks like he probably would have been a much better player if he were born later. Was weak against fast bowling, which is unsurprising for a Bangladeshi but one assumes they have better pace training in place today than they did in the 90s.

12th man Imran Farhat.

I think it is a decent team provided I get two good bowlers in the last two questions.

Even if you have passed both rounds, don't post your final XI yet.

 

[Pothas]

Well that is ****.

 

[Cabinet96]

Bit scared by the number of successful picks on question 12.

 

[Red]

Well, holy ****!

Guess that sorts out who will bat at #3 between Ponting and Chappelli for me.

 

[Pothas]

We all picked Bradman first time round but this time obviously thought nah someone else will take care of making sure he does not sneak through and I really need x player to complete my side.

 

[NUFAN]

It was fun opening each email this time round especially.

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

I could not pick Bradman because I needed a bowler but I probably would not have done so anyway.

I wanted Pollock just to have both Peter and Shaun in the team opening the bowling.

 

[Jarquis]

Well, holy ****!

Guess that sorts out who will bat at #3 between Ponting and Chappelli for me.

But of a spoiler, no?

So I get my pick or Peter Nevill.

I don't think that's NUFAN's style, given you already have a keeper

 

[trundler]

Who cares, Red Hill has got this. Shame I had a chance with a good bowling attack tho.

Always take your chances. Always.

Tried to be funky by sneaking him in 11a but alas, lol
