Trundler seems to be ignoring the thread so rather than waiting for him to time out I'll just make my pick.

One of Bangladesh's OGs, Aminul Islam.

Pothas > morgieb > R7.

@Fuller Pilch & @ataraxia dur for a catch up pick. Phew, think everything is back up to date now.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Gary Ballance

 

[Shady Slim]

I'm happy with it. If Rogers is a guy then Hodge must surely be a guy. What do you think @Shady Slim?

sorry i was out for the long weekend, hodgey counts

a short yet not terrible test career (actually good!) and then a life as a T20 mercenary is very good guy areas

 

[honestbharani]

Am I up?

 

[jimmy101]

I'd say Pothas & morgieb have timed out right about now, so @Fuller Pilch is up once again to start R7.

 

[morgieb]

Mark Stoneman

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Sherwin Campbell

 

[Himannv]

Campbell! Love that pick!

Think morgs has timed out so I'll take SS Das to open with Di Venuto.

 

[morgieb]

Dinesh Karthik

 

[Himannv]

Stuart Carlisle

@Prince EWS

 

[jimmy101]

Alrighty, in the interests of completing this draft I invite everyone to post their final XI. Draft orders aren't necessarily an important part of this draft imo, so I'll kick things off with my final XI.

The "Oh, yeah I think I remember them" XI

Michael Di Venuto
SS Das
Jamie Siddons
Mark Ramprakash
Aminul Islam*
Ryan Campbell+
Ruwan Kalpage
Tim May
Steve Elworthy
Ata-ur-Rehman
Everton Matambonadzo

Nantie Hayward

Geoff Allott

Everyone can bowl and just about everyone can bat (Hayward and Allott can hang around to help the batsman at the other end).
