2019/20 New Zealand First-Class Season Draft (Division 2)

[NZTailender]

Matt Bacon to round out my bowlers. having the 3 top wicket takers from last year may pay off, or lightning won't strike twice.

 

[vandem]

Young

 

[straw man]

with a bit of luck Ferguson will play some tests - that or tear up Plunket Shield

and judging from Kippax opening with Solia, it's ok to open with a non-opener, so Chapman plz

I don't think points are awarded regarding batting position, are they?

 

[NZTailender]

I'm going to be dull and play it safe with George Worker.

 

[NZTailender]

1. G Hay
2. T Latham
3. D Brownlie
4. G Philips
5. N Kelly
6. K Noema-Barnett
7. B Horne+
8. N Wagner
9. I Sodhi
10. M Bacon
11. H Bennett

12th: G Worker

 

[Chewie]

Bonus points for most points scored as an opener, so you reduce your chances of that if you don't have two traditional openers

 

[NZTailender]

Maybe I should've gone with Brownlie as originally planned since Hay and Worker open together.

 

[Kippax]

Henry to finish and my 12th man is Duffy.

Raval
Solia
Foxcroft
Taylor
Bruce
Watling +
D Bracewell
Jamieson
Kuggeleijn
Henry
McEwan
12th: Duffy

 

[NZTailender]

Can I pick Brownlie and determine a 12th man from those already selected? All good if not.

 

[Kippax]

Yes go ahead.

 

[NZTailender]

Ok, Brownlie, with Worker taking on 12th man.

 

[vandem]

12th Allen

Ravindra
Cooper
Young
Conway
O'Donnell
Cleaver (wk)
N Smith
Astle
A Patel
Somerville
Boult
12 Allen

 

[Kippax]

Just Straw Man to conclude R12 here.

With only 48 drafted, there's quite a few solid cricketers left unclaimed, so if you want to protect against being thrown out of the hunt very early via season-ending injuries, I'll run a R13 and R14 for you. This is where you can get a little bit of Young, Wheeler or Craig exposure without any downside.

 

[NZTailender]

Great idea!

Once is said and done could we pick 2 more dummy teams for the lols? Or is that too much work?

 

[straw man]

Thought I'd already posted that McCone is 12th man, but must've lost it.

Anyway, Ryan Mc

plz.

 

[NZTailender]

Didn't McCone retire?

 

[Kippax]

Didn't McCone retire?

Yes he did.
RYAN McCONE ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT

 

[straw man]
