Weldone timed out. I'll have Conrad Hunte
Andrew B to finish Round 10 with kingkallis and weldone having catch-up selections.
Andrew B to finish Round 10 with kingkallis and weldone having catch-up selections.
No, it will be based on the draws for rounds 1,3,5,7 & 9. Some may have been disadvantaged more than others by the Randomiser so I'll tally the places allocated (1st choice = 1; 2nd = 2 etc) and those with the highest scores will get earlier picks.

Whatever it takes!!!
Like your system for R11, L&L. It's better to have the advantage in the early rounds for sure, but at least this attempts to repair a bit of the damage.

Thanks hb - I'm still a novice at running a draft but it's been an enjoyable learning experience.Like your system for R11, L&L. It's better to have the advantage in the early rounds for sure, but at least this attempts to repair a bit of the damage.

When your teams are finalised you are asked to list them with nominated captain and 'keeper along with Test averages (both batting and bowling for designated all-rounders). Feel free to add comments.
Judging will be done along similar lines to those used by JOJOXI in the Current Test XI draft. I like the idea of peer assessment.

Daryll Cullinan
All figures are Test match figures apart from Clive Rice who due to Apartheid only played 3 ODIS at the back end of his career. I’ve posted his First-Class figures.
1. HANIF MOHAMMED (3915 runs @ 43.98)
2. WILFRIED RHODES (2325 runs @ 30.19) (127 wickets @ 26.96)
3. DAVID BOON (7422 runs @ 43.65)
4. SACHIN TENDULKAR (15921 runs @ 53.78)
]5. DARYLL CULLINAN (4554 runs @ 44.21)
6. CLIVE LLOYD (captain) (7515 runs @ 46.67)
7. CLIVE RICE (First-class) (26331 runs @ 40.95) (930 wickets @ 22.49)
8. ROD MARSH (keeper) (3633 runs @ 26.51)
9. ERAPALLI PRASSANA (735 runs @ 11.48) (189 wickets @ 30.38)
10. JAMES ANDERSON (1185 runs @ 9.63) (584 wickets @ 26.83)
11. COLIN CROFT (158 runs @ 10.53) (125 wickets @ 23.30)
Despite Wilfred Rhodes middling average he played 58 matches for England just under half of them as an opener. When opening Rhodes average increases to 36.73. Also 127 Test wickets makes him a good option as a second spinner to support Prasanna, a bit of variety with an offspinner and slow left-armer too. By all accounts Clive Rice was a very capable allrounder, Wisden question whether he is the best player ever to not play Test Cricket (https://www.wisden.com/stories/coun...-by-example-and-an-all-rounder-par-excellence) and with that bowling average hope he could step up to Test Cricket as a 3rd seamer. His batting ensures there is depth in the lower middle-order.
Anderson and Croft provide a nice contrast, Croft gives the bowling attack some express pace whilst Anderson can hold an end tight if conditions aren't in his favour and can carve through a batting line up if the ball is swinging.
Hanif Mohammed provides grit at the top of the order, David Boon whilst playing mostly at 3 has opened in 63 Test innings averaging just over 45 in those innings, so a solid man to come in if one of the openers get out early. Tendulkar, Cullinan and Lloyd a very competent 4,5 and 6 and a strong captain to lead this side in Clive Lloyd.

10. Graham McKenzie - 246 wkts @29
11. Muttiah Muralitharan - 800 wkts @22
Starts with an outstanding opening pair, followed by a very good middle order and depth in batting thanks to the multi-talented NZers McCullum and Cairns. Four very good quicks to cycle through while Murali weaves his magic at the other end.

Very happy with the side overall, choice of new ball pairing between Reid and either Imran/Pattinson depending on Imran’s batting workload, excellent 4 seamer attack for all conditions, bounce, swing, pace, reverse swing all available in plenty. Excellent allrounders for the spin attack in Shakib and Mushtaq, covering both wrist and finger spin with plenty of back up from Aravinda and Joe Root. Batting wise, batsmen who average 40 or there abouts till 8 and 9 and 10 are no mugs either, so will never be easy to run through this side, whatever be the attack facing them. Think its one of my better efforts in recent drafts.
