    Random country draft

    Himannv is next, then me, but I might not be around when he comes on. I'll take Virender Sehwag, unless Himannv wants him, in which case I'll take Kapil Dev.

    Mark Waugh overrated?

    Saying he's poor against spin is well wide of the mark. He was one of the best players of spin of his generation from Australia. If he had a flaw against them, it was that he failed to give them the proper respect. His attitude was that if you were going to shotput the ball at him of a step...

    Random country draft

    Will make it interesting. That's why I've left out Bangers and Zim - it would disadvantage some people too much.

    Mark Waugh overrated?

    Plus Waugh was well an truly in decline by then, whereas Martyn was entering his prime.

    Mark Waugh overrated?

    Pretty close in pure batting terms, with Waugh just taking it IMO. As an overall cricketer, Waugh by far.

    Mark Waugh overrated?

    Mark Waugh is very much a case of not just how many (although he scored heaps - 4th most by any Australian I think?), but when and how. He played a number of innings where he scored when the rest of the batting lineup was looking powerless and the bowling impossible. And he was glorious to...

    LBW- Do you think the specifics are fair?

    They're a bit unfair, but I'd be fairly loathe to change either for fear of altering the game too much tbh.

    Mark Waugh overrated?

    Already put forth my argument on this question this in thread.

    Random country draft

    Ok, we'll move on. 99* can make his selection whenever he next comes on. Round 1 - South Africa 99* - Somerset - Graeme Pollock HB - Shaun Pollock Zinzan - Jacques Kallis GI Joe - Matt79 - Himannv - Blakus - Brumby - Cevno -

    Random country draft

    Fifteen minutes, then we're skipping 99* and he can make his selection whenever he's next on.

    Australia's opening batsmen

    Bit hard to answer the question as phrased. I would have Katich and Watson ahead of Hughes. North has earnt a reprieve for now, but if this revival isn't continued, or a vacancy opens up in the middle order some other way, then maybe. I think Watson belongs in the top three, Katich in the top...

    I think 24 hrs is fair enough.
