[G.I.Joe]

Pothas up > Uvelocity > Blakus

 

[Pothas]

Picking way too many Australians for my liking but

Mike Hussey (batsman)

George Brown (wk)
Bob Simpson
Everton Weekes
Stan McCabe
Michael Clarke
Mike Hussey
Monty Noble
George Hirst
Ray Lindwall
Malcolm Marshall
Bishan Bedi

Frank Foster

Foster and Hirst a close call but went with Hirst for his great first class record.

Bloody happy with that in the end actually, got lucky with picking up some batsmen at the death.

 

[uvelocity]

mark vermeulen (batsman) fire starter

so sad to miss out on hansie cronje especially.

 

[Blakus]

I don't think i saw this guy picked yet. Eddie Barlow.

1.Barry Richards
2.Eddie Barlow
3.Rohan Kanhai
4.Allan Border*
5.Doug Walters
6.George Ulyett
7.Syed Kirmani+
8.Bobby Peel
9.Dennis Lillee
10.Harold Larwood
11.Bill O'reilly

12.Albert Trott

 

[kyear2]

Steal so late in the draft, good looking team for this draft Blakus.

 

[uvelocity]

we are all tab00 XI

*Stephen Fleming sc00bs /
Vin00 Mankad howzat /o
Mark Vermeulen fire starter /
+ Rod Marsh 46 cans /+
Kamral Akmal Lance Corporal Granite Hands /+
Chris Lewis prat without a hat / cocaine smuggling o
Shane Warne ***ting o
Harbhajan Singh monkeygate o
Shoaib Akhtar nandrolone o
Saeed Ajmal chucka o
Mohammad Asif match fixing o

(12th) Phil Tufnell locking his missus in a cupboard o

Well, the we are all tab00 XI would certainly appear to be the kind of side to struggle against any self respecting girls grammar school (south of the equator anyway.) Gladly the left field tactics including fixing the match, running in on drugs, texting your missus (or locking her in the cupboard) or perhaps just challenging the opposing team to a drinking contest would surely be too much for any other team here on display.

And should all of the above fail, MV would just torch your clubhouse. Play us at your peril!

would have enjoyed swapping out some of the extra bowling for the likes of b00n who holds the drinking record, symonds who is always drinking, cronje who is surely the most tab00 of all and lastly dean jones for his terrorist comment

ironic having tufnell as a specialist fielder too! fleming had one too many sc00bs!

 

[weeman27bob]

You've done a cracking job of putting together that team. Top stuff.

 

[Jager]

brilliant effort uv
