Scorecard Draft II

[Howe_zat]

There was a time when Patsy Hendren had the second most first-class runs of anyone. An unfairly forgotten man.

 

[ankitj]

Ah well.. was torn between Woolley and this guy but gonna pick, for his 3525 runs @ 48...

A long tail and a leg spinner to compliment off spinner is what I will go for.

Long tail? Warwick was one of the leading run-scorers of all time when he retired.

(Checked, and he was 4th).

Hmm, so more of a batting all-rounder is it?

Hmm, so more of a batting all-rounder is it?

Definitely.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Never lost a Test as captain, so that's a bonus if you're looking for a leader.

 

[Himannv]

Tough scorecard. Picking in a few minutes.

Maurice Tate

Wanted him last 2 turns but appeared in each of the last 2 scorecards I had to pick from.

 

[honestbharani]

same story here.. with a number of other players too

 

[G.I.Joe]

Cevno's window is gone. 42 minutes until Somerset's window expires too. And Marcuss is at the game. FMD.

 

[Cevno]

Bruce Mitchell

3rd Test: South Africa v England at Durban, Jan 16-20, 1931 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Bruce Mitchell

3rd Test: South Africa v England at Durban, Jan 16-20, 1931 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Good pick. I was in need of an opener, but Bruce Mitchell's name slipped out of my mind!

 

[marc71178]

To avoid confusion, I intend waiting until Somerset and Marcuss pick before making mine because things only get complicated by ****s going out of turn and also I'm not sure when my turn is from.

I dont think its your turn as yet.

 

[marc71178]

Yeah, I don't either but was making it clear that I won't pick until the 2 in front of me have gone (and am hoping the people after me will also adopt that approach)
