Not sure if I made the right pick there because there are a few other players I am very keen on, but bowling my side out would tiring at least.

A very interesting choice Jager which leaves you with numerous options at No.6

 

[Jager]

Gives my pace attack super versatility and variety - left arm and right arm options, seam, swing, reverse from Davo. Can bowl on heartbreaking wickets and now I am free to stack my batting as full as I want... I'm pretty happy with it now!

Wow, this puts me under pressure to get my next pick right as I have to sit back and watch 18 players go by afterwards.

 

[Himannv]

Hugh Tayfield

That makes things a bit inconvienient. Good team though mate.

 

[Prince EWS]

Trevor Goddard

Probably could've waited another round for this'n but I don't really want to risk it with my next pick still 15 players away. One of the greatest cricketers of all time and probably the most under-rated of them all. Someone please cheer me up and tell me they were thinking of picking him next please

Thought Tayfield would be taken

 

[watson]

I had another South African opener in mind. Not a bad leggie either, and 'superb' in the slips: Bruce Mitchell

I was so close to picking him that I actually had it typed in. I did think Goddard would last longer but I figured I'd be more annoyed about missing out on him than missing out on Mitchell so I took the safe route. If I got both I was going to bat Mitchell at 3.

KK often plays 2 all rounders in his team, one of which is usually Goddard - so you were right to go with your gut feeling I think

With Trumper at No.1 you see could see Jackson coming a mile off

Alan Kippax at No.6 would complete the full set. I dare you!

 

[Jager]

Macartney would have been a nice addition too - might grab Kippax as my 12th man actually since no one takes much notice of it

Trumper-Jackson-Kippax: The three greatest exponents of the late cut.

Would have to give your team points for elegance.

 

[watson]

Where are we up to? Think it's, Eds > KK > Michael

 

[Jager]

If I get my next two picks I'll be seriously delighted. Unlikely given how I've drawn such a horrendous pick number in R9 but at least I'll get one, I s'pose.
