Back Draft

[NUFAN]

SCC, if you picked an all rounder ahead of Roach, your team would be really dangerous.

Even if you went the windies angle and pickes Roachs teammate Jason Holder, id like it more.

Adcock Ambrose Trueman is elite. TBH, maybe even a batting all rounder would suffice. Thinking Charles Macartney, Ben Stokes, Saurav Ganguly types.

You knew, as have everyone, from my shorting myself in the foot after that Amla pick, that I was landing myself in a pickle of sorts.

Love that you're comparing Stokes' bowling to Ganguly's.

Love that you're comparing Stokes' bowling to Ganguly's.

I think it's on par, at this stage of Stokes' career.

 

[jimmy101]

Well, yeah, Stokes is sortof gangly isn't he?

 

[NUFAN]

TBH, I was just using examples. I felt like the cricketer to replace Roach, could bowl as little as Ganguly or as much as Stokes and bat within the top 6 with Ames as 7.

I was just trying to name guys unlikely to feature in tye remaining couple of teams.

 

[ataraxia]

Yeah I get what you're saying.

I feel that Kemar Roach is capable of scoring a test century. It's imminent.

 

[ataraxia]

Trueman got 3 FC centuries with a high of 104. Rely on him. Don't think he batted much at 7 though...

1. Hayden

8. Steyn
9. Abdul Qadir
10. Bishop
11. Spofforth

Whomever took Faulkner ruined my plans, lol. As it stands, I'm not sure this team bats deep enough.

Interesting stat is that Gibbs averages about 47 as an opener, but 42 overall. I think he's somewhat underrated in these parts due to his poor performance in the middle order - Gibbs and Smith was a truly formidable opening pair.
