I've had a tremendous amount of good fortune come my way in this draft. Didn't get a single pick in the mid 30s except when I needed a keeper. Would've had to wildcard for that but didn't need to. As soon as I needed openers somebody wild carded to the mid 40s too. And if I'd been 1 pick away from Pothas's wild card I wouldn't have gotten Lindwall. Had planned on taking VVS as my final pick. Just stoked.

I think it was simply because JoJo did not use his wildcard properly. He probably wanted a F U to the rest and did not quite deliver it properly. Trundler took advantage. :)

@Red Hill now I've had a bit of time to sit down at laptop properly I've just realised my pick was ineligible - as Richards was more then 30 runs above previous pick - what should happen? My initial pick was going to be Justin Langer wildcard until I realised Richards was still available in previous page - although just now realised he was avaialble but not eligible

Not so much an F U as a case of needing an opener, picked Langer but then edited my pick almost instantly when I looked on previous page and saw Richards available, only realised after quite how much of a pain it was for next pick (although was always likely it would make only a few players available but thought it'd be a handful rather then literally 1

Yh apologies for the hassle caused - initially loaded up list of most runs from positions 1 and 2 with the batting and chose Langer after seeing a few other preferred picks already picked then saw Barry Richards wasn't picked and kind of jumped the gun - wrote a brief write up with a couple spare mins and now gone back with more time and seen the last pick was in the 30s before mine.

My pick would've been Justin Langer (45.27) with remaining wildcard - will update my previous post to reflect change from Richards to Langer

tbh, if you didn't point it out JoJo, I dont think any of us would have picked up on it. So for being such a gentleman, maybe we can let you keep Barry.

But DQ Trundler. :p **** supports 5 IPL teams but does not support mine. ?
Was loving the look of my top 3 but only fair to point out once noticed - Justin Langer whilst a definite downgrade hardly the worst option either.

Hoping one of Trundler's sides are the mighty RCB.
