Quiz Draft

[Pothas]

Shame, if everyone else is getting 10s I could do with another set of questions.

 

[Howe_zat]

It's not really that bad. I just threw a very small paddy.

 

[weeman27bob]

I think I'll be lucky to get two on this round. So yeah. Not so good.

 

[Dan]

Confident on 2, 3, 6, 7, 9 and 10. Hoping my answer for 5 will be accepted, but I highly doubt it.

Completely wrong on 4 and 8.


And I misread 1 and gave two answers instead of one...

It's not really that bad. I just threw a very small paddy.

my "leprechaun tossing" google image search drew a surprising blank

 

[kingkallis]

I dunno why but this was pretty decent. Got most of them right..

 

[kyear2]

Justin Langer. Right/ Left combination barely beats out slightly superior batsman.

[Spikey]

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 pretty certain. 4 and 8 guesses i don't mind. cbf coming up with a guess for 10, just got nothing. although i echo the above comment about whether i've done enough for 5

 

[morgieb]

Very confident on 1, 2, 6, 10. 10 was lucky as I found out who it was yesterday when researching for picks!

On the right track with 3 (know which country but am undecided to which city), 7 (educated guess) and 9 (ditto), but I'm not 100% sure these were right. Other 3 are fails, I can feel it.

 

[marc71178]

Don't you hate it when you read a question, answer it straight away, doubt yourself and finally put your second choice before pressing send and realising you were definitely right first time?

 

[kyear2]

sent.

 

[Dan]

[Dan]

Any chance you want to reconsider that pick

Great selection.

Nah, think I'll keep him :P Counterattacking number 7 who performs best when behind, and, as far as I can tell, quite good with the gloves. Everything I want in a wicketkeeper. Pretty good value for Round 9 too, IMO.

Considering I didn't pick up any of the 'huge' names (apart from Hutton I guess), I'm very happy with the side I've got so far.

 

[Somerset]

Actually changing my pick to Herbie Taylor.


WG Grace 1848-1915 RHB, RM (22 tests, 1098 runs @ 32.29, 9 wickets @ 26.22)
Victor Trumper 1877-1915 RHB, RM (48 tests, 3163 runs @ 39.04, 8 wickets @ 39.62)
-
Archie MacLaren 1871-1944 RHB (35 tests, 1931 runs @ 33.87)
Herbie Taylor 1889-1973 RHB (42 tests, 2936 runs @ 40.77, 5 wickets @ 31.20)
Frank Woolley 1887-1978 LHB, LM/SLA (64 tests, 3283 runs @ 36.07, 83 wickets @ 33.91)
Monty Noble 1873-1940 RHB, RM/OS (42 tests, 1997 runs @ 30.25, 121 wickets @ 25.00)
Johnny Briggs 1862-1902 RHB, SLA (33 tests, 815 runs @ 18.11, 118 wickets @ 17.75)
