100 years of Ashes + Draft with Cap on games

[Fuller Pilch]

Sorry to be pedantic but Red Hill has actually still got 3 Saffers - Pollock, Bacher, and Fanie DV.

Not pedantic at all FP. As the one who set the rules I should have spotted that earlier.

 

[kingkallis]

So are we waiting for someone or is it my turn?

Dammit!

 

[Red]

Bacher was the last SA player I picked, so I have replaced him with Zimbabwean Grant Flower, who has a weaker batting avg than Bacher, so my team should now be viable.

Red Hill CC

Grant Flower
Subba Row
Andrew Jones
Graeme Pollock
Douglas Jardine +
Dave Houghton +
Dwayne Bravo
Fanie DeVilliers
Bill Bowes
Simon Jones

****

I’m out ��

I’ll come back after I’ve slept for a few hours!!!

 

[trundler]

Red Hill should pick one of Peter Parfitt, Jack Robertson or Andy Sandham.

https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...7;team=8;team=9;template=results;type=batting

Or whoever qualifies from the above query.

 

[Red]

Pick one for me Trundler.

I’m broken. My drafting credibility has been destroyed in the last two pages

 

[trundler]

Only if you give me Houghton. Jk.

It appears you need an opener and have about 30 tests left. Roberson and Sandham had ok FC records and didn't play a lot so I'd go for the dashing Lawrence Rowe (30).

 

[trundler]

I've been in the same situation so I empathize.

 

[Line and Length]

king kallis will complete the selection process, though ataraxia needs a replacement for Tim Ambrose. I will find him a like-for-like eligible alternative if he doesn't do so himself within 24 hours.
Thanks Trundler for helping Red Hill out when I should have been more alert.

 

[Line and Length]

Actually, Lawrence Rowe (30 games) replacing Ali Bacher (12 games) takes the team over the salary cap. One of Trundler's alternative selections (Robertson) would foot the bill and, on batting averages (46.3 v 32.3), strengthen the batting.
An alternative solution would be to keep Rowe and replace opener Jones (39 games and 44.3 average) with another opener Geoff Pullar (28 games and 43.9 average).
Hope that helps you Red Hill. Your draft credibility is fine. Did you see my misunderstanding in the current ascending batting average draft when I tried to queue jump?

 

[Teuton]

Robertson has already been picked by anil

 

[Line and Length]

Thanks Teuton. I'm rushing too much!

 

[Fuller Pilch]

If ataraxia is looking for a keeper I can think of a couple of NZers who played 11/12 tests in the 90s.

 

[Teuton]

If i understand the constraints correctly for ataraxia, the options are:
https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...;team=8;team=9;template=results;type=allround

except Kunderan & Lindsay have been picked, Tillakaratne played many more games as a batsman and Chakabva has kicked on past 2018.

Billy Wade who missed the bulk of his career due to WW2 seems to be the only one who can bat

 

[Fuller Pilch]

There's also Tony Blain who played 9 tests as a keeper (due to the presence of the world-class Ian Smith) and 2 as a specialist batsman.

 

[ataraxia]

Thanks guys. I'll take Billy Wade (11) due to his incredible FC average of over 48.
