Imran and McGrath are now tied. Smith with a decent lead this late.

 

[Thala_0710]

I now understand why Kyear was angry, whoever was fighting for the third pacer spot had to fight Imran. Hadlee would've beaten Imran quite decisively but now McGrath may as well lose. Needed Hadlee to fend off Imran.

And then you switched to Imran....

I struck a deal

I struck a deal

Yeah I saw it... Thorpe over Cook isn't really worth it though... He's still losing the poll anyway... This is THE World XI.... @capt_Luffy has played you here

Not even close, that was not the deal. You will figure out later.

Boycott getting voted in over Greenidge? He already believes that... Shiv/Miandad not getting a vote? What else could it really be that would make it worth it

I binded his soul to the Compton agenda.

Two points, I didn't asked him to, I won't in a poll ran by me, he offered it himself. And, I am pretty sure the player duo so niche and in the grand scheme of things, close, I actually even rate the one I struck the deal for higher, just like the other more; that I am pretty sure he has some other reasons to vote for Imran and just made me switch because he could.

McGrath back in the lead now though... We'll see if the switch was worth it or no..

Well, the one I switched I actually had ahead anyways, just liked the other player more....

I might have Imran ahead of McGrath in this attack for variety if I ignored Imran's batting.

Without batting think would have gone for Ambrose.

Ambrose is mostly just McGrath lite for me. Steyn for me without batting. But I'd also be dropping Hadlee for McGrath. Not selecting my number 1 quick or spinner would be pretty funny.

 

[Coronis]

I.V.A. Richards
Walter Hammond

Glenn McGrath

So now we have Knott and Hammond…

 

[kyear2]

This sounds like you are describing Hadlee.


Perhaps less bounce than McGrath, but more pace and more skill with the ball plus better fielding and all the additional runs with the bat.

We can agree to disagree.

 

[kyear2]

Smith v Viv and Imran v McGrath is going to be cinema.

Literally one vote separating each.

 

[kyear2]

Alas, it looks like my vote for Lara isn't going to achieve much.... Didn't expect him to make it but considering he was voted in above all the other guys being mentioned, (in the latest batsmen poll), I expected more votes for him

With so many talk about secondary skills with jostling for who's going to bat at 11.

If Smith makes the team, the area of the field where most of the wickets are taken will be manned by Shane Warne and Steven Smith.

One is definely not good enough to man the spot, and one has elite skills, but drops more sitters than anyone.

With this attack, that's definely a liability.

 

[Swamp Witch Hattie]

Literally one vote separating each.

Maybe I should pull a Winston Peters and become a kingmaker? Nah, I think I'll refrain. Best to leave it to the regulars!

 

[kyear2]

What?

So no one's taking it seriously, lol
