Quiz Draft

[Agent Nationaux]

I think it was Kyar who wanted to know everyone's team so far. Here is mine:

The Tug O war XI

Graham Gooch
Alastair Cook
Rohan Kanhai
Jack Kallis
Steve Waugh (c)
Ken Barrington
xxxxxxxxxx (wk)
xxxxxxxxxx (spinner)
Wasim Akram
Jason Gillespie
Mohammad Asif

I'm very happy with my team despite getting last/second last picks most of the time. Just need a keeper and a spinner now to balance it out. However if I don't get the keeper I am looking for, I will pick a good middle order bat instead and have Kanhai keep, since he started off playing for the West Indies as a keeper-batsman.

Howe, do we get a reserve player?

We're done with the quiz rounds, so we won't be drafting a 12th man. You can name one if you so wish, but it shouldn't be taken into account when picking a winner.

is trading allowed?

 

[honestbharani]

I don't know or care. I'm commenting on the allegations, not whether it has happened.

lol.. it is always fun to do that, isn't it? Assume what is not true and comment on that...

Guys, for the final time can we drop this debate over googling and for the remainder of the process keep this civil. Its been a pretty good draft that I've certainly enjoyed but the last few pages have been disappointing to say the least.

Shri, HB, take it outside please.

Specifically: Shri, take it outside please. I don't see mch basis for allegations of cheating here, and hb is entitled to be annoyed and to defend himself.

Thanks a lot, Z.. I appreciate at least someone takes my word around here..


It honestly is annoying when you finally end up doing well in one draft after like a million attempts and people start calling you a cheat..

Pretty poor this from Shri. And I can understand why HB was fumed (from his username ).

I liked the trivia questions Howe put up in this thread BTW.

Didn't make this connection until you mentioned it.

Furby has allowed me to take his turn as well as pick some of his players.

So I shall be first of all taking Warne, Lara, KP and Akhtar and let you know about the rest.

 

[weeman27bob]

I'd just like to be the first to say there's no way you're allowed to do that.

 

[Pothas]

Lol just beat me to it but I wasn't sure if he was joking or not.

 

[morgieb]

99% certain he was taking the piss.
