Alphabetical Name Draft

[weeman27bob]

You've been pretty good so far so I dont think anybody will complain.

I've changed some of the numbers a little bit, so the same people don't always come out at the top, but apart from that, it's all random.

Round 9 - P and J

Bonus points for picking JP, I assume?

[Joao]

I do not have access to the internet over the weekend so I have given my preferences to weeman for this round.

 

[Himannv]

weldone up next.

 

[weldone]

There are 2 very good batsmen to choose from. But I choose Mike Procter over them to share the new ball with Adcock, and to bat at no. 7 after Kapil. My pace bowling department (Adcock, Procter, Snow, Kapil) is now strong beyond imagination, and my team bats deep with Evans at no. 8.

I believe I can find 2 good batsmen in the later rounds (for positions 1 and 5).

 

[Howe_zat]

The finest leftie of all time, Graeme Pollock

Kanhai very much deserves to bat above Richardson. And since Abbas isn't the best batsman in your side against swing and bounce in testing conditions, I would rather like to see Kanhai at no. 3.

yeah, I haven't thought it out fully yet, to be honest.. Just waiting to select my XII before I finalize the batting order and stuff...

[Blakus]

Although I really should pick a fast bowler.... I can't go past Ricky Ponting. Despite his recent form slump, I still rate him as one of Australia's 3 greatest batsmen.
