Yeah it's getting to the business end, but there are a tonne of great batsmen around that average.

Ataraxia has 1 hr 10 mins before he times out (his clock started ticking when Teuton picked).

Really wish I'd chosen a Langer/Herbie Taylor/Vaughan type player who all had plenty of experience as both test openers and middle order players. Would have given me so much freedom from where I am to adjust plans if necessary and secure 2 more ATGs

Can't make up my mind for next pick.

And like mrmr I also think I chose wrong players when we got into batsmen phase. At least he got players worth more than their averages, I got players likely more expensive than their worth!

Herbie Taylor and Peter May would have been awesome picks with reputation higher than average. I think if I went May-Compton id be in a great spot

I feel like you could have started picking 50+ batsman one turn earlier but you still have a great team.
