'Current Test XI' Draft

[Line and Length]

Strange to see Anderson picked to bowl in Australia with the Kookaburra and Warner picked to bat in England against the Dukes!

I picked Anderson for his bowling at the MCG (ave 24.2). I almost picked Warner but went for Kholi instead.

Fair enough

Can I pick now?

King Kallis to pick and then its your pick - KingKallis has about 6 hours before he times out.

Mohammed Shami if he is unpicked.

Two SLAs seems like an overkill.

My team is playing in Bangladesh and a multitude of left arm spinners tend to serve Bangladesh well. They are also probably the two best batsmen amongst the worlds leading spinners, so their inclusion gives me the opportunity to pick 8 batsmen and 5 bowlers.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah but it robs me the opportunity to pick one. So I am salty


Those were good picks actually though.

The maximum of 2 per country really adds to this draft and makes it hard to choose.

I was wondering about Rosco - averages 63 at the Basin Reserve (but had already picked Kane and Marnus).

Yeah experienced that myself! I was torn whether I wanted Ross Taylor or to hold off a 2nd Kiwi (already have Latham) as I did want Boult as well, glad I went for Taylor as probably wouldn;'t have gone for Boult until next pick at which point he would've already been taken
