Greig was picked in Round 7.

 

[marc71178]

Already taken by Sussex.

 

[Furball]

Shame hb's googling skills weren't up to scratch.

 

[honestbharani]

yeah, unlike yours . You got the 310 Ashes tests without the help of Dr. Google didn't you?


Just find it funny you get to throw around baseless allegations and never back them up with facts... Its just the same with any argument you make around here, isn't it, cricket related or otherwise..

 

[honestbharani]

For the not so mentally deranged, it was because I was posting off my phone and could not go back 3 pages to do the pick.. Picking again now.

 

[honestbharani]

Michael Clarke


And think it is a bit of steal at this stage of the draft..

Him and a couple of batsman were the guys I was thinking about. Happy he got taken before my next pick. Don't think I could have said no

I had Briggs lined up as my spinner for this round from the outset - coincidence that was the theme for everyone else as well!

[Eds]

I took a spinner because I had several options at the start of the round, and only two were left when it got to me. Didn't want to risk losing both so picked one.

 

[Spikey]

disgraceful that xavier doherty still hasn't been picked tbh

 

[Pothas]

Alec Stewart.
