Love it.

You have so many of my favourite cricketers. Jackson, McCabe, Worrell, Garner and O'Reilly would all be in my "Favourite XI all time"!

These are going to be nearly impossible to judge.

Yeah, pretty much. With such a limited pool of drafters and unlimited pool of players, this was always on the cards.

But that's only when you're going by the names on offer. The batting orders (of course) and overall team balance should be able to swing a lot of votes IMO.

Yup the unlimited pool was not a good idea

The bizarreness of having Bradman at seven is offset by the fact you have four guys below him who could seriously bat. Well played there.

 

[Jager]

Michael's team looks so messy, really throws me off

until I see Bradman so he automatically wins my approval

 

[ankitj]

He has 3 of my top 5 all time cricketers in his team, but the batting order is all wrong.

 

[Jager]

Agreed, hard to vote for a team that (despite being filled to the brim with gun players) doesn't address the challenge of the draft all that well

 

[Jarquis]

Hedley Verity

 

[Jarquis]

1. Gooch
2. Hobbs

4. Ponting
5. Border*

9. Verity
10. Holding

Too many Australians.... saying that I'd have picked Harvey if available.

Done.

 

[Jager]

Gun side Marcuss, Shaun or Peter Pollock?

 

[Jarquis]

Shaun
