Archie MacLaren

Archie_Mac doesn't visit these threads I suppose...

 

[Himannv]

Interesting pick that one..

 

[NUFAN]

Charlie Turner didn't play that match. So i couldn't have used it.

Mate I've been drugged up the past 24 hours, still am - Sorry

 

[NUFAN]

Looks like it's marc's turn again..

 

[honestbharani]

actually I m online juz now.. chking out my possible picks
shud be done within an hour hopefully.. if my bosses don see browsing cricket sites

 

[honestbharani]

will take Johnny Briggs.

3rd Test: England v Australia at Leeds, Jun 29-Jul 1, 1899 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com


Honest Hunks so far:

-
-
Wally Hammond - 7249 runs @ 58, 83 wickets @ 38
-
-
-
Richard Hadlee - 3124 runs @ 27, 431 wickets @ 22
-
-
Johnny Briggs - 815 runs @ 19 (with a test hundred), 118 wickets @ 18

About Hammond:
He was a superb fast-medium bowler who often, as Sir Donald Bradman once remarked, "was too busy scoring
runs to worry about bowling." When he was roused - as he once was by Essex bowling bouncers at the
Gloucestershire batsmen - his pace could be devastating. "I never saw a man bowl faster for Gloucestershire
than Wally did that day," said Tom Goddard, "and he not only battered them, he bowled them out as well."



Love that I got my spinner locked so soon and a damn good one at that. I mean, averaging 18 as a slow left armer, WTH.. Love that he has a test 100 too.

 

[marc71178]

Will try to look at lunchtime, if not it'll be after work for my pick, so you can all take a time out!

 

[Somerset]

I was hoping Briggs might be left and I'd have a chance at collecting him - hoping for a good scorecard from Marc now so I'm not left with too few choices!

I m next to Marc, right?

 

[Cevno]

The move back to the post world war 1 era would be interesting , and a move back to the post world war 2 era would probably mean we are not coming back in the pre ww1 era again.

 

[Somerset]

I m next to Marc, right?

Ah yeh, quite right. I thought the list was reversed, forgot that the bottom two swapped spots.

 

[kingkallis]

I m next to Marc, right?

This means you have a very good player in mind and you cant wait to post him

 

[marc71178]

Too hard:

Bobby Abel

[Himannv]

Tough era this..

 

[pskov]

Tough era this..

I think it's mostly due to the cannot pick a player from the same scorecard rule. There are still a couple of great and quite a few very good players from that era left to be chosen, but considering the majority of test cricket was between just two teams it's difficult for them to be selected.

 

[Himannv]

Yeah I have my eye on a couple of them but there's every chance that I wont get to pick them. Either way, would be good to move forward in time.

True...sympathies with marc71178, he had a really tough scorecard to play with...
