Faulkner for Flintoff is perfect because I needed an all rounder anyway.

Herbert Sutcliffe

Denis Compton
Vijay Hazare
AB de Villiers
Aubrey Faulkner

John Ward+
Shoaib Akhtar

Peter Pollock

Does ffa mean banned players are allowed? If so I'll like to change

 

[Pothas]

All that dedication to get Bradman and then two other guys just get him handed to them.

Dmitri Mascarenhas

 

[weeman27bob]

1. Dick Spooner +
2.
3. Seymour Nurse
4. Mushtaq Mohammad
5. Andy Flower
6. Corey Anderson
7. Ellyse Perry
8.
9. Graeme Swann
10. George Greary
11.

My team works surprisingly well so far given that I've only drafted one player I've picked. Could do with another seamer really though as I'm currently operating with one of Corey Anderson or Ellyse Perry opening the bowling.

I'll take Kabir Ali please.

I should explain about the ffa round 10. I feel that there are a couple of people for whom this draft is becoming a little frustrating and going to an ffa format speeds it up and keeps it a bit lighter.

I have not repeated any rule through the course of this draft and I planned all of the rounds out in advance. I didn't plan on there being quite so many players banned, and nor did I intend for crap players to get banned and end up in sides after round 8. Cest la vie.

Was confused as to why I had one fewer person than everyone else. Turns out it's because I'm an idiot and didn't include someone.

Mostly posting this because I have no idea who's in my team. Not as flashy as the Bradman sides on the whole, but it's ok I think.

Would appreciate anyone trying to make sense of my team
