Haha. Stoked.

Yeah, I would be too, well done.

 

[Shri]

Yeah, I would be too, well done.

Got lucky I reckon. Can't believe others did not go after that bowler.

Okay pretty sure posts 198 and 209 are correct now after that bit of confusion. Don't forget to check out what players have already been chosen and also the ban list.

Question 5A
Select a cricketer who has taken the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar at least once in Test Matches.

Question 6A
Select a cricketer who has a highest score between 201 and 249 in Test Matches. Yes 201 and 249 both count.

You have 24 hours to send me your answers!

Chris Cairns has 218 test wickets. Doesn't that meet the criteria for question 6?

Nevermind, clearly I missread that question.

 

[fredfertang]

Thanks for your honesty and that of G.I.Joe's too.

fredfertang you get Jason Gallian.

I still think G_I_Joe should get Statham

Lots of Kallis love in round 6B, shame someone had already chosen him in 6A!

I'll give a further 24 hours for the last chances, if someone has a pass already please send me an email with a player they'd like someone else to get if they have 3 fails.

Rounds 7 and 8 questions will come up as soon as I give final results tomorrow. I'll be giving 48 hours to answer 7a and 8a with new year and all.

[Somerset]

I've now managed to fail in my first two attempts in all six rounds except one so far...would not be surprised if I am allotted players again in one of these two rounds!

 

[NUFAN]

I wonder whats the worst I could get for failing 6c. Rob Key? Matthew Sinclair?

Yeah I would say so!

NO WAY!!!!

Haha yeah pretty sure you would have been happy with just one of them let alone both!

I've now managed to fail in my first two attempts in all six rounds except one so far...would not be surprised if I am allotted players again in one of these two rounds!

So unlucky really! Doubt it will happen in both rounds 7 and 8.

I think this was my first time not failing round 'b', though I normally go on the defensive after round one as the sheer though of being allocated a sheep haunts me. Was lucky with my 'a' pick this round though...

Round 7
Excluding the decade 2000 to 2009, select a cricketer who's Test career lasted just the one decade. Decades are considered 1920-1929 for example.

and..

Round 8
Name a cricketer since 1900 who has taken a wicket in a match he's captained.


It's 9:44pm here in QLD at the moment, I'll make it just over 47 hours to get your picks in, given that it's new years and all tomorrow.

 

[Blakus]

Happy with those results. Halfway through the draft I have most of the key positions covered. Opening combo, keeper, spinner and captain. What I really need is another fast bowler with experience leading an attack.

1.Barry Richards
2.Vinoo Mankad
3.
4.
5.Colin Bland
6.
7.John Waite+
8.Gubby Allen*
9.Ian Bishop
10.
11.

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah getting to the business end of the sheep draft, reminder to everyone it's 12 rounds in total, I'm going to make rounds 11 and 12 separate though instead of doing 2 rounds at a time.

It's pretty hard at this stage to judge who has the best team!
