H.S Draft- combined sum of XI's test high scores not to exceed 1000 (negotiable)

**** **** ****!!!!!!!

Woke up to the pleasant surprise that you did NOT pick Viv. Coz frankly I thought you would be the one who would snap up Viv in this round.

 

[jimmy101]

Frank Foster 71

Top score of 305* at First Class level, the record highest individual score by a Warwickshire player at the time & the record stood for 80 more seasons. The man to finally beat that record? A certain young buck by the name of Lara.

Nah, well played. I was trying to decide between Viv and Merchant, and I couldn't find a better value opener than Merchant.

Was hoping Viv's reasonable expensiveness would let him slide to my next pick... no such luck!

slifer > battlers double pick > me

Any chance you could provide us with a complete update?

 

[mr_mister]

[mr_mister]

though if Red Hill doesn't want either of those two players then I guess it's fine, but looking at his team he might have wanted 1

Constantine

Waqar
Adcock

378 runs remaining

Macartney averaged 59 at number 3 from nearly 30 digs, scoring 6 of his 7 test tons there. Combine that with his economic bowling and I consider him a steal at 170.
Not sure wether or not to switch Constantine and Cameron

 

[Slifer]

and no you had one pick slifer. battlers was for the end of round 6 start of 7

Allan rae then 109

 

[OverratedSanity]

edit - changing my strategy back to what it was. Charles Macartney 170

Nice. A team with Macartney is halfway to getting my vote.

Surprisingly late pick too, considering he's relatively cheap.

 

[Dan]

Ugh, beginning to regret a past pick. Couple of cheaper options out there who'd probably result in a better team balance

 

[mr_mister]

Think everyone was surprised you went with Freddie

 

[Dan]

I was torn between Freddie and Shakib, then Shakib went. Wanted an ATG all-rounder, but I reckon I've overpaid there.

Never fear, I have a strategy!
