3 Nations Draft

[Line and Length]

Time outs have cost me a chance of getting O'Reilly, S.Smith, Verity. Sutcliffe, Hall and Hazelwood.

You can leave your pick/shortlist with the manager or someone following you if they are in a better time zone.

Bob Willis? I'll check

Willis is clear. Quite underrated here. Has a better record than the second tier West Indians but usually picked later for some reason. Maybe just doesn't have the cachet.

 

[Himannv]

Since he looks like someone’s old nan, everyone immediately assumes he runs into bowl with a walker.

 

[Teuton]

And looks a bit uncoordinated

 

[Line and Length]

I recall seeing him play in some sort of veterans' game at the WACA (Centenary Test 10 year anniversary?? - I have a programme buried away somewhere). Willis was wired for sound and ran in with his shirt untucked and the microphone aerial flapping behind him. He was described as looking like a demented doctor running around with a stethescope flying about.

Yes. He is quite underrated here. Has a good record and also led the bowling well for quite a few years.

 

[Himannv]

I think the second tier West Indian quicks get selected because at that point most people are looking for a third seamer and all of them are ideal because they have a bit of a mean streak that adds a dimension to the first two Rolls Royce types.

I'll do an update somewhere Tommorow,me and the family was under the weather and spent the long weekend recovering so have some catch up to do apologies for any inconvenience.

Ian Chappell

[Pothas]

Is it me or does @JOJOXI pick Ian Chappell in every draft?

I ended up with him in the MWM draft so it's not absolutely all of them certainly.

I do quite like him as a number 3 with a great record there when captaining - probably last couple of drafts haven't picked him but he'd be up there as one of my most picked players since I started drafting I'd imagine

 

[JOJOXI]

Going to take me a while but now thinking I might go back and make a tally of players I have picked most in drafts (doing a bit day by day) although unsure whether to include auction-style drafts as is that particularly reflective of players I like to pick?

On that same topic - is it worth me tagging a mod in the cricket drafts that haven't been moved to the specific Forum-games sub-category or would that be treated as spam/nuisance-posting (not sure if they've just been missed or it was just decided its not worth moving these drafts into the new folder but as I am likely going to keep a list - happy to either tag a mod or PM a mod if this is deemed useful (@Magrat Garlick?)
