Some quality combinations there but I think Blakus, Pothas and Kingkallis are a little way ahead - don't ask me to choose between the three of them though!

Yeah I tend to gravitate towards the old-timers of which they have plenty.

 

[kingkallis]

Yeah, I have been lucky in this Draft. I could pick batsmen whilst some of the poor ones had to pick bowlers when they needed batsmen!

 

[Jarquis]

Jock Cameron not in my strongest side IIRC.

 

[Howe_zat]

Was looking difficult until I saw Blakus' side, from there it seemed odd that I had to pick more than one.

 

[uvelocity]

thanks gi goe

 

[watson]

Just out of interest - how were the players selected?

I can't imagine that Jager would deliberately choose 4 wicket-uppers unless he'd just downed half a bottle of scotch and a handful of keepers.

 

[uvelocity]

rules here

http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/56654-taboo-draft.html#post2838745

had unforseen results tbh

 

[watson]

Thanks. OK, now I understand.

Curtly Ambrose batting at No.7 is pretty funny.

 

[weldone]

Thanks for the vote watson.

 

[Himannv]

After some thought I went for Blakus, Pothas and NUFAN.

 

[uvelocity]

uvelocity's team is tab00 to vote for too. good times.

I went for the same three, but I'd like to make special mention of 8ankitj's insane bowling attack.

 

[Jager]

I had five actually, one is my twelfth man

 

[watson]

Thanks for the vote watson.

4 good bowlers led by Alan Davidson, a great wicket keeper, plus a rock solid batting line-up.

Looks good to me.

 

[Dan]

Went with morgieb, Blakus and Pothas.

Kyear and Weldone ran close, IMO.

Ya, but my U.S.P. is that middle-order of Dravid, Lara, Harvey and Ranji
