Recount!

I only got 7 not 8, so I drop below honestbharani.

HB, please don't pick Tony Pigott or I will be most upset.

Ah yes - because your incorrect answer to #2 is the correct answer to #3, so I only counted two incorrect answers. Edited.

Wow, Jack Cowie was the answer to number 10? Interesting. Still happy with my quiz performance this round, my highest placing in the draft order so far. :)

I too thought it was Palmer or Toshack for No.10

Those name came to my mind for bowlers with 50-60 wickets with good average.

the most annoying thing about 10 for me was that through all the research I've done on drafts in the last 2-3 months, it's 100% I've passed over his name like 100 times, but never bothered to note it.

Was my answer for Q2 counted as incorrect? If it's counted, I think I would have 7.
No, as I needed you to name one team. I gather that you probably read the question wrong, but I had to treat your answer the same as others, i.e. back when KK was sending in half a dozen guesses per answer in the hope one of them was right.
