Cricket team draft

[Somerset]

Daniel Vettori.

I need a spinner, and he can bat, that's a bonus.

Interesting choice - sure, he can offer a bit with the bat but he wouldn't have been my choice had I not secured SK Warne.

 

[Somerset]

No idea how this bloke has slipped this far - even if he is the Commander of all the Evil in the world.

5.07 Ricky Ponting

10497 runs @ 56.74

Team so far:

Ricky Ponting
Ken Barrington
Malcolm Marshall
Joel Garner
Allan Donald

Raghav picked MoYo, so Simon is up.

Good looking team so far IMO - extremely competitive attack and with Ponting joining Barrington, the batting line up's starting to take excellent shape too.

 

[Jakester1288]

I was going to take Ponting if Vettori wasn't available, he is picked because I like a spinner in the line up.

 

[Evilhoopler]

can i join

 

[Jakester1288]

can i join

I doubt it mate, we are already settled into an order and have done 4 or so rounds.

 

[Jakester1288]

Hadlee, Lara, Hussey, Healy and Vettori is a shocking start, compared to some of yous.

At least I have a strike bowler, keeper, spin bowler, and two batsmen, really need a couple more quicks.

7 Adam Gilchrist (Wicketkeeper/Batsman)
8 Clarrie Grimmett (Spinner)

[Matt79]

Greg Chappell. Clearly the second best Aussie batsman of all time for mine. An average of 53 is Impressive enough, but according to Armstrong, in the time Chappell played, no one he played a test with or against ended with a better average, and only 8 others had an act above 45 - it was a tough time for batsmen.

 

[Matt79]

My team to date
Hammond
Chappell, G
Imran
Waqar
O'Reilly

 

[chaminda_00]

FFS my three middle order picks and my back up pick goes in a couple picks. Bunch of ****s, need to do some more research now. Not liking some of these other sides that are running around.

 

[Jamee999]

My 4 on the list I made with 2 blokes above me were Ponting-Weekes-Chappell-MoYo

 

[chaminda_00]

My 4 on the list I made with 2 blokes above me were Ponting-Weekes-Chappell-MoYo

I didn't expect Chappell and Ponting to last this double round before I picked. But I was slightly hopefully that Weekes might have slipped under the radar, but clearly guys where just filling up other areas first. MoYo and Miandad just made me cry.

Michaelf7777777 is up

 

[pskov]

Ponting was no. 1 on my list to pick next. Couldn't believe he kept dropping past people and was willing him all the way but alas it wasn't to be.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Barry Richards for my next pick please

My team so far

Barry Richards
Keith Miller
Les Ames
Alan Davidson
Hedley Verity

 

[NUFAN]

I'm spewing slightly that I was automatically given both Walsh and Laker.

My side desperately needed a bowler however, with my next choice after I wanted a batsmen.

Why did someone automatically pick Jim Laker for me after I had Walsh?

For the record I would have picked Greg Chappell.

Chappell, Tendulkar and Sobers from 4 to 6 would have been amazing.

 

[NUFAN]

Complaints aside, I've got to say that Jamee999's side is looking awesome.

Matt79's side is also very strong, Pskov could be right up there also, depending on his next 5th and 6th picks next.
