Quiz Draft

[kyear2]

Hard to beat Sobers, Lillee and B.Richards.
Greatest All Rounder and second best player of all time, Lillee is seen by some as the greatest fast bowler and definate top 5/6 all time and a top 5 opener and talent wise probably the best in Barry Richards

Took a hit for later rounds with Grimmett and Tyson now gone and was aiming for Sutcliffe this round. Good effort though.

 

[Eds]

Garner not really < Walsh tbh.

Sutcliffe also has better longevity than Headley imo (I say that as that's the only real argument you could say Garner < Walsh), though Headley had more class about him.

Suppose.

Harsh on Headley though. He played Tests from 1930 to 1954.

Beat mine..

Best test bowler ever
Man with highest 100s under his belt, Sir J.H.
Man with the average 2nd best to none other than Sir Don Bradman!

 

[weeman27bob]

Doesn't matter, Bradman in the team is an automatic victory.

 

[kyear2]

Beat mine..

Best test bowler ever
Man with highest 100s under his belt, Sir J.H.
Man with the average 2nd best to none other than Sir Don Bradman!

Can't argue with that argument.

Imran's prime > Botham's.

Only if you wanted him to bat or bowl rather than the 2 at the same time.

 

[Blakus]

Greg Chappell

 

[Pothas]

Is it my turn? Thought I was before Zaremba and Blakus.

Does not matter, I will take Dale Steyn.

 

[Spikey]

Imran's prime > Botham's.

Really? No doubt Imran has him covered for longevity, but Botham's prime...I mean: Records | Test matches | All-round records | A hundred and five wickets in an innings | ESPN Cricinfo

Should think it's a bit easier this time.

 

[Spikey]

Yeah confident about all of them bar 1,5 and 10, and I don't mind my answers for those

 

[weeman27bob]

Pretty fortunate that I'd looked up 6 and 9 purely by chance a couple of weeks ago.

 

[morgieb]

Much easier.

 

[kingkallis]

Pretty easy...confident about 8 of them!

 

[Furball]

See I reckon this round is actually harder.
