Very tough choice between seamers in the 15-30 test bracket - am choosing one from the likes of

Ryan Harris
Fred Spofforth
Bruce Reid
Shaheen Shah Afridi
Bruce Taylor
Mohammed Asif
Charlie Turner
Stuart Clark
Charlie Griffith
Fred Spofforth
Mohamned Abbas
Shane Bond
Fanie De Villiers
Jack Gregory
Kyle Jamieson


but for longevity/durability and playing era I'll finish with

Peter Pollock

The sheer quality of pacers available from this section is astonishing.

Okay, here are the orders for the mini drafts (based on sum of odd positions), people can start to pick:

Draft 1 (0):

@honestbharani (46)
Trundler (44)
ataraxia (27)
Cricket Bliss (26)


Draft 2 (1-15):
@Line and Length

Draft 3 (15-30):
@Fuller Pilch

Draft 4 (50-75):
Capt_Luffy (44)
@JOJOXI x 2 (35)
Bitmap (28)

Draft 5 (75-100):
@mr_mister (61)
Teuton (53)
Sayon Basak (40)
AndrewB (34)

Draft 6 (Any):
@Pothas (58)
Himannv (48)

Actually my previous pick, Hanif Mohammad, has played 55 tests so he comes under the (50-75) category. I should hence be in the Draft 6 after Pothas and Himannv having exhausted both of my (50-75) selections.

Thank you very much for bringing this list mistake of mine to notice. I thought he played 44 Tests (probably switched up with his average). You are the last at the any slot then.

 

[honestbharani]

So I just need to pick someone who played 0 tests?

I will go with Tilak Verma

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Draft 5 (75-100):
@mr_mister (61)
Teuton (53)

Doesn't Ashwin (100 Tests) count as my second 75-100 pick, with Inzamam (120) as my 100-120 pick (and Waugh as my 120+ pick)?

It could do. Both of them can fit in either slot. I guess the latter is much better for you. Then you have an any pick and you can pick now.

 

[Teuton]

Matt Prior

 

[ataraxia]

Ben Brown (Sussex), 39-averaging batter and well above average wicket-keeper, the best keeperbat of all time never to play a test.
