I wish weldone had made his pick on time......

Last time when I saw Dudley on one of the list of Washbrook, I prayed for him to remain available!

Fantastic pick mate!

@HSD - no, I was not going to pick him cause I was sure he wouldnt remain available for long

 

[kingkallis]

Marcuss, Noble One, Himmanv next 3

 

[Jarquis]

Not quite sure with this pick. Was torn between two and can almost guarantee that Noble One will go for whichever one I don't.

I've left a gap for my third seamer for ages, and have turned down a few opportunities to pick a guy for that slot. Not really sure I can turn down Maurice Tate at this stage of the draft either. Don't fancy my chances of being able to pick a player of his quality for this role when it is my next opportunity to pick.
Also with the versatility of my batting line up, with me being able to pick a player anywhere from 3-6, I'll fill the more specialist spot.

So yeah, Maurice Tate it is. Zaremba

[G.I.Joe]

I can't believe Marcuss didn't pick the batsman that was available.

 

[Noble One]

Patsy Hendren

Another good addition to the middle order. Hard to say no to the man with the 2nd most first class hundreds. I am running a huge risk going into the last round without a wicket-keeper, but having Flintoff gives the luxury of being able to select a keeper with a sub-20 average.

Player: Duleep (KS Duleepsinhji)

Scorecard: 2nd Test: England v Australia at Lord's, Jun 27-Jul 1, 1930 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

 

[weldone]

Took a big risk of picking a batsman at this stage. I'm one bowler short, still. Keeping my fingers crossed for the 11th round as there are a few very good bowling options left. Surprised to see world's all-time best left-arm spinner available still, by the way.

Couldn't see past Duleep at this stage. God knows what he could have achieved but for politics.

Team so far:
Gautam Gambhir
Geoff Boycott
George Headley
Duleep
Ian Chappell
Adam Gilchrist+
George Ulyett
Richie Benaud*
Shane Bond
George Lohmann

 

[G.I.Joe]

Marcuss preferred Tate to that SLA, weldone. If Tate didn't exist, the SLA would probably be gone.

Marc, NUFAN and then me...

TBF, I would have taken him but for already having two reputable left-arm spinners, and needing an opener more than anything else.

Not quite correct. Yuvraj never played under Azhar.

 

[weldone]

Marcuss preferred Tate to that SLA, weldone. If Tate didn't exist, the SLA would probably be gone.

I don't care, though. As I don't need an SLA at this stage. All I need is a class fast bowler, and there are a few of them remaining.

Only hoping that we don't end up in the nineteenth or twenty-first century again by the time my next pick comes

 

[weldone]

Ha ha, this

It seems that you are on the same boat as mine, praying for the draft to be at a certain timeline when the next pick comes...

On a serious note - lets see who grabs him!

Well, I certainly dont want to be in the 1800's again.

With Imran, Steyn, Gillespie, Barlow and Qadir, I dont think I need another bowler so I think I'm in a slightly different boat I reckon.
