Wally Hammond

 

[Jarquis]

George Lohmann

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha well I think Marcuss officially has the best bowling attack, snaring Lohmann and Murali.

Stan McCabe

 

[Johnners]

Do I get a prize for having the most mediocre middle to lower order?

 

[Prince EWS]

Do I get a prize for having the most mediocre middle to lower order?

I'd probably have the least Test caps in my side had I not managed to get Steve Waugh. I still might. Even a lot of my better players didn't play many Tests for various reasons. I've still got a couple of "good" picks to go though.

 

[Jarquis]

Probably got more than me considering I'm yet to pick from 2 rounds IIRC.

 

[Flem274*]

My team is pretty **** when compared to others. Hate starting middle.

 

[Himannv]

I think mine is fairly ordinary as well tbh.

 

[Hurricane]

mine would be ok had I not missed my turn.

 

[Zinzan]

Tough call, but couldn't resist Bill Johnston's 160 test wickets @ 23.91, hardly knew about him to be totally honest


Taufeeq Umar 1730 runs @ 39.29
Graeme Smith (capt) 7300 runs @ 50.44
Vijay Hazare 2200 @ 47.65
Zaheer Abbas 5000 runs @ 44.79
Sanjay Manjrekar 2000 runs @ 38.67
-
Tony Blain (wk) 450 runs @ 26.82 19 catches & 2 stumpings
Steve Elworthy 13 wickets @ 34.15
Ghulam Ahmed 68 wickets @ 30.17
Peter Loader 39 wickets @ 22.51 (1326 FC wickets @ 19.04)
Bill Johnston 160 wickets @ 23.91



Love my batting lineup & relatively happy with my bowling line-up of seamers Loader, Johnston & Elworthy & spinner Ahmed.

Interesting to note Bill Johnston was like Sober in the respect he bowled both pace & spin.

 

[Somerset]

I'll pick Bapu Nadkarni.

Sir Leonard Hutton (c) RHB (79 tests, 6971 runs @ 56.67)

Les Ames (wk) RHB (47 tests, 2434 runs @ 40.56, 74 catches and 23 stumpings)
Keith Arthurton LHB (33 tests, 1382 runs @ 30.71)
Bapu Nadkarni LHB SLA (41 tests, 1414 runs @ 25.70, 88 wickets @ 29.07)
Maurice Tate RHB RFM (39 tests, 1198 runs @ 25.48, 155 wickets @ 26.16)

[Hurricane]

Over the moon to pick Stan McCabe.

 

[marc71178]

Really ought to make those picks TBH - everyone else has had to pick them early and it's forced our hands in other places in terms of squad balance, seems unfair you can wait till the end and pick the players that best suit the rest of your line-up.

 

[marc71178]

Over the moon to pick Stan McCabe.

You would be if PrincessEWS hadn't already taken him.

 

[Hurricane]

You would be if PrincessEWS hadn't already taken him.

Knew it was too good to be true.

I will take someone with a higher batting average then - the Kiwi Rodney Redmond. Average of 81.50 and never picked again.

At least he can be selected in this draft.

1	Joey Carew		34.15	
2	Qasim Umar		36.63	
3	Rodney Redmond (1 test)	81.5
