*Official* Overseas Draft Thread

[Goughy]

Fighting back the tears from hearing Sanath Jayasuriya going with the 2nd pick.

Gough anounced Rabid Wolves will controversially select Andre Nel.

Gough said "We need some fire power in the seam bowling, he is the most economical bowler in the draft and he certainly fits the 'Rabid' mould"

East Robham Upper Body would like to announce young batsman and fielding dynamite Bazid Khan as their new signing. We will be hoping that Bazid can provide the enthusiasm and athleticism that 20/20 thrives on. WAG.

 

[Nate]

Darters avec Clapo are up next.

Closet racism? Not a single Kiwi player on the 20:20 Draft list?

I'm guessing there's a decent reason for this, but it still looks a bit odd. I was hoping for a Jimmy Franklin, Duwayne Bowden or Kruger van Wyk!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Very open about the racism tbh.

Jolly good. There's more money in Dairy Farming these days.

Oh. That's not what you meant, is it. Very droll.

I need to sharpen up on my racism.
