Quiz Draft

[Eds]

Yeah I wanted Walcott as well.

Think Hb has the draft sewn up right there. Which is a shame.

 

[Cabinet96]

Kicking myself over question 5, seems obvious now. Should have got that one.

Yeah I knew it, but for some reason put down Wasim Akram. Brian fade.

 

[honestbharani]

I had it as Gary Gilmour. I knew both had 5 in that finals but could not work out who would have gone for lesser... Took a gamble on the winning team and the fact that with Viv and Collis King going bananas, I didn't expect any of those Aussie bowlers to have had that good a figure, given they were 60 over games back then..

 

[honestbharani]

Team so far:


-
-
Sir Don Bradman
Sir Clyde Walcott
-
Aubrey Faulkner
-
-
-
Waqar Younis
-

 

[Himannv]

Yeah hb has won this imo.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

@ Eds, would you mind if I go before you? I have always been right at the end, so it would be a nice change.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

With the recent surge in keeper-batsman being taken, I'll join them and take Kumar Sangakarra as my next pick

[Pothas]

Kapil Dev.

 

[Furball]

[morgieb]

Sir Everton Weekes

 

[honestbharani]

should confess I lucked out with Windies and Ian Chappell.. I guess Windies coz I knew NZ won their first game sometime in the 50s and given that we didn't play them that much at that time (we = India and Pak), Windies were the only other "weak" side around then.. And I could have guessed it would be a Chappell and took a punt with Ian as I felt Greg was not captain during Brearley's time. The first name that came to my mind seeing that question was Allan Border, actually Then I worked out that he only became captain in the mid to late 80s..

Sir Everton Weekes

Seriously.

Anyway changed pick to Rahul Dravid, if no one minds.

Team thus far:
Barry Richards
Rahul Dravid
Gary Sobers
Dennis Lillee

Also best slip cordon assembled thus far I believe.

What happens if someone ties in the tiebreak?

It goes by username in reverse alphabetical order.

 

[Spikey]

i thought if that happened it's just first come first serve when their picks roll round

 

[Howe_zat]

Yes.

 

[zaremba]

Shall I jump in?

 

[kingkallis]

Next person can pick as well...

 

[zaremba]
