Stats draft-2014

[Camo999]

Tough one. Tony Greig balances the side nicely I'll go with him. Gives me both Bill and Tony too.

 

[Camo999]

Lawry
Woodfull
Lara
Border 6
Walcott
Greig 5
Gilchrist
Imran 1
Hall 2
B Johnston 3
Gupte 4

Interestingly both Johnston and Greig can bowl pace or spin depending on the conditions. Plenty of captaincy options too.

 

[Camo999]

Double post removed.

 

[kyear2]

Lots of genuine all rounders still remaining.

I'll take Flintoff. But if Coronis wants him before his 12 hours are up, then I'll take Chris Cairns to complete my lineup instead. (I rate them equally anyways, so no worries).

If Rhodes is to bowl at all then he should bat at 8 or lower, and Flintoff at 7 IMO.

Rhodes peak bowling period was between 1899 and 1905 when he took 76 wickets at 19 runs each. Only on 2 occasions during those 6 years did he bat higher than 8, and even then it was probably to be cannon fodder on a sticky wicket.

After that period his bowling fell away considerably as he exchanged his bowling skills for batting skills so that he could open with Hobbs. From 1906 to 1930 he took just 51 wickets at 38 runs each. Some difference.

(Incidently, that's Rhodes bowling in my avatar)

 

[Coronis]

will take Chris Cairns

Don Bradman

 

[AldoRaine18]

Nice.

 

[ankitj]

Don Bradman

****. I was waiting for him to drop to me. Why wasn't anyone picking him?

 

[AldoRaine18]

Don and Viv together, tough to see many looking past that, tbh. With Smith and Gordon that's a massive top 4.

 

[morgieb]

Pretty much had assumed he was ineligible. Well played.
