Wicket-keeping and opening the batting is a big ask in an ATG context. I remember Jager picking Stewart as an opener-keeper in a previous Draft and it provoked some interesting discussion at the time if I remember rightly.

 

[kingkallis]

Some really fine teams there..

 

[watson]

Some really fine teams there..

Yes all very good teams given the nature of the Draft. However, there are 2-3 stand-out sides that will take some catching. Fortunately there are still 3 rounds to go!

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Billy Murdoch (Played Test Cricketfor a country he wasn't born in) to be my wicketkeeper and #6 will be my next selection

Time to bite the bullet and get one of the more difficult clauses out of the way.

Tip Foster scored 287 on debut. Naturally it remained his highest score

[Michaelf7777777]

Good choice, one of the better players that meets my criteria

 

[watson]

Blakus has spent a seeming eternity waiting for Monk, now Howe.

Just 1 1/2 hours to go.

 

[Blakus]

Eh no biggie. Only just got back from work a little while ago.

[Himannv]

Rather pleased with myself for getting Botham this late. One more tricky clause to negotiate and I'm home free.

 

[Blakus]

I believe Jager has timed out which means I get to make another pick.
