Word Tennis Draft

[jimmy101]

Yeah, the fixed letter is a good idea. In fact Marc wrote to me suggesting this, so I think we'll employ it for this particular circumstance. Shri, next time you log in (hopefully soon) can you please pick an E player.

Round 7

I guess we can skip Shri until further notice. Hopefully the draft won't get too mucked up. The current legal letter is 'R'.

Interesting to see you're considering playing Trumper at 3 Nufan. What are your tactics behind that?

 

[NUFAN]

Interesting to see you're considering playing Trumper at 3 Nufan. What are your tactics behind that?

Ive got 3 openers which has also meant I couldnt pick a quality opener starting with S when I went for Streak just then too.

Edgar had to open to hopefully see off the new ball so it was between Edrich and Trumper. I noticed that Trumpers career average is actually not as high opening and I think he is a real x-factor which I like at 3 (slightly more than opening). Probably not that surprising that I did actually think about my batting order a fair bit before posting
