How many sides still need keepers?
EDIT: I count five, interesting.

My count is 4 including you. Simon, myself and Nnanden are the others.
That is if De Villiers and Dravid get picked as keepers..

Read it again. I completely understand you having to delay your turn, I didn't direct any malice toward you at all. He was online, checked lots of different threads, but didn't bother with this, which affects us all. Add to that I conceeded I was really tired and I don't see the problem.
I won't do any more turn updates and I'm sorry for trying to make this go smoothly for everyone, albeit in a perceived uptight fashion.

Jokes about harassing Goughy aside, I'm up after him, but am going to have to go to bed - nodding off as I type this.
I can make my selection now, who I think it is highly unlikely that Goughy will want, so that the game can keep on moving while I'm sleeping. I'd name him on the proviso that if Goughy wanted the same player, he can have him, and I'll have to make another choice - in that case, you will have to wait til I'm up again, but as I said, given who Goughy has already chosen, I don't think he'll want my selection.

Alright, I'll nominate my pick now, and as I said, if Goughy is ok with it, then GI. Joe can go as soon as Goughy does - otherwise, if it is the player Goughy wants, I'll have to make another selection when I'm back on and hold you good folk up a few hours.
Assuming it's ok with Goughy, I'll take Tony Gray. One of the West Indian bowlers who would have walked into the #1 quick slot in any country other than their own. Can't bat, but in 25 ODIs in the late 80s-91, took 44 wickets at 18.97, with an ER of 3.94 and a strike rate of 28.8. Fast, nasty bounce, good bowler who I do seem to actually remember from when I was a kid watching them pummell us in the 88/89 series in Aus.

If he could bat I probably would have picked him.

That why I didn't select him so I could bat down to eight.
Though Harris is something special with the ball. A real freak.

Jamee has a habit of picking strike bowlers early so there wasn't really a need for another. Hopefully he and Ranatunga can keep things tight in the middle overs. Will be interesting to see how Ranatunga goes with ball, in modern times. You could get away with steady medium pace back in the 80s. Not sure now, though Sehwag can share the 5th bowling responsibilies.

GI Joe can in 2 hours...

Goughy, he's played 3 ODIs. Might as well pick Garry Sobers too.
