Scorecard Draft

[Somerset]

We desperately needed someone like Shri to choose a player like Gregory to open things out, and Michael's done equally well in selecting Woolley, who played until the 1930s - I get the feeling we'll be jumping a few decades in the next handful of selections.

 

[NUFAN]

Order for rounds 5 and 6 posted below. NUFAN and Marc, the only possible way I see of not getting the draft held up and both of you getting in your next two picks before your absence from the forums is to slot you guys at the end of round 5/start of round 6. It'll also mean an especially long wait since your last pick, Marc. At the current rate of 7 picks a day, both of you should have made your Round 5 and 6 picks by Tuesday end. Possibly even earlier if we up the rate, which we will, IMO, if we get to the post WW1 era soonish. NUFAN, you'll most probably miss a timely round 7 pick though, can't help that unfortunately.

Thanks Joe, love your work!

 

[Riggins]

Select Bill Voce. I know very little about him but seemed like a pretty decent bowler from looking at some stats and reviews, and of course trying to push the timeline forwards, did the best I could.

[kingkallis]

Riggins you could have picked a couple of players better than Voce atleast ,me thinks.

 

[Jarquis]

I've got just over an hour before I go to cricket.. cmon Joe

Tend to agree with Cevno. Great pick from Kingkallis in O'Reilly - though funny to see Bradman and O'Reilly in the same team given their history.

 

[Cevno]

Good pick by KingKallis in O'reily but riggins left the whole variety of options open really for him.

Kingkallis so far has the strongest 4 players .

 

[kingkallis]

I had 2 middle order batsman, 3 great bowlers and 1 opener in my mind!

Finally decided to go with the champion spinner.

 

[G.I.Joe]

I've got just over an hour before I go to cricket.. cmon Joe

Just got in now! I'll start looking.

 

[kingkallis]

Just got in now! I'll start looking.

Plenty of amazing players for you this time GIJ!

 

[G.I.Joe]

Yeah, I'm relieved not to have to pick from the era we've just emerged from. I have a player in mind, but I want to make sure I'm not missing out on a better player by oversight.

Joe to pick me a nice scorecard because I'm on my phone and the more research needed the more likely I am to leave it until I get home

I am sure GIJ will be nice enough to give you a decent scorecard!

I had another player in mind but he was taking the game straight to the late 50s and that means we would have missed some of great players from late 30s and early 40s...thats why decided to go with O'Rielly!

 

[G.I.Joe]

Going with the player I had in mind originally.

[Himannv]

Was hoping Lindwall would stay unpicked lol.. Ah well..

 

[kingkallis]

Lindwall was the one I wanted but then decided to go with O'Rielly!

Good pick! Can be a perfect No.8...

 

[Jarquis]

Have been trying to get my pick done whilst travelling but basically I'm in the arsehole of nowhere so my signal is poor.
This place is to the world what the 1880s was to this draft.
