Cricket team draft

[Matt79]

Jamee is up - put he hasn't been online recently.

That said, he's the only participant left who needs a wicket keeper still, so we can probably skip him without any harm being done, as presumably no-one is going to pick a second keeper just to spite him? Thoughts?

Sounds good. As long no-one goes for a guy who has kept I think they can make their selection.

Doesn't Sachin bowl leg breaks?

Doesn't Sachin bowl leg breaks?

Yeah true. Leg break googlies. He did bowl off spin too, but he'll be more of a threat bowling into the rough that Sobers has made if he ever gets a bowl.

Thought you would have gone for Brue Taylor this round. One of the top NZ bowlers of all time and decent bat.

Brilliant, GI Joe.

I had something similar planned, but my skillz just weren't up to the challenge. Really, excellent work!

 

[Matt79]

Simon up btw...

My top two preferences for my last spot remain available

 

[Simon]

I've had a tough time deciding who to go for this final pick, theres six guys on my list who had higher career averages but I've gone with Richie Richardson. With 5949 runs @ 44.39 he will fill a gap in the middle order that I dont think the others would have as well. The last couple of years of his career werent as kind to time as they could have been but he was immense in the eighties.

Final Team
1 Hanif Mohammad (55 tests - 3915 @ 43.98 @ 1 wicket @ 95)
2 Herb Sutcliffe (54 tests - 4555 runs @ 60.73)
3 Ted Dexter* (62 tests - 4502 runs @ 47.89 & 66 wickets @ 34.93)
4 Javed Miandad (124 tests - 8832 runs @ 52.57 & 17 wickets @ 40.11)
5 Richie Richardson (86 tests - 5949 runs @ 44.39)
6 Doug Walters (74 tests - 5357 runs @ 48.26 & 49 wickets @ 29.08)
7 Adam Gilchrist+ (96 tests - 5570 runs @ 47.60 & 416 dismissals)
8 Ray Lindwall (61 tests - 1502 runs @ 21.15 & 228 wickets @ 23.03)
9 Wes Hall (48 tests - 818 runs @ 15.73 & 192 wickets @ 26.38)
10 Clarrie Grimmett (37 tests - 557 runs @ 13.92 & 216 wickets @ 24.21)
11 John Snow (49 tests - 772 runs @ 13.54 & 202 wickets @ 26.66)
