2016/17 New Zealand First-Class Season Draft

[Howsie]

Ah screw it, he should be good for some test points. Jimmy Neesham.

 

[Kippax]

Neesham.

Smith
Guptill-Bunce
Murdoch
Chapman
Mitchell
Neesham
Seifert
Kuggeleijn
Southee
Nethula
Wagner

 

[Kippax]

Ah ****, four minutes too late for Neesham. Back later.

 

[Kippax]

Thought about punting on Ryder here, who's apparently out with a groin strain for the first five rounds, but is potentially keen to put his name forward for Plunket Shield selection again after Christmas.

Instead, I'll go for someone more highbrow, possibly the highest I.Q. in domestic cricket. Also one of the few young seamers who'll swing six out of six in every new ball over he bowls: Navin Patel.

Smith
Guptill-Bunce
Murdoch
Chapman
Mitchell
Seifert +
Kuggeleijn
Southee
Nethula
Wagner
N Patel

[Chewie]

Sorry I went on holiday and completely forgot about this

 

[Dan]

draft an xi of leftovers now imo

 

[Kippax]

On the strength of two big forum favourites for Black Caps honours (Brad Wilson and Andrew Ellis), Dan will lead you all into R2, even after Phlegm and NZT slot in their eleventh man.

The top ten beasts of the round:

 

[Athlai]

Wellington colours for me plz

 

[NZTailender]

Conflicted. Do I go some hack like Woodcock or Nicol who will put in reliably average returns or take a punt?

**** it, Michael Pollard

 

[Kippax]

Woodcock has been quite the teacher's pet of Edgar's, you've missed a trick there.

 

[Flem274*]

woodcock

 

[Kippax]

 

[NZTailender]

Yuss my team of specialists will do a slow and steady and come dead last.

 

[Kippax]

You can all nominate a 12th man to come in and play when your first-string players are lost to a court trial, I've decided.

Mine is Seth Rance.

 

[Dan]

Shall take a punt on Obus Pienaar
