[Jarquis]

Oh ffs.

 

[Furball]

Seeing as BFP skipped me last round I should really skip him.

 

[Howe_zat]

I definitely think GF is winning right now but I reckon his need to keep picking batsman from now on will **** him over at some point. BFP's done really well off a bad start.

 

[BackFootPunch]

Seeing as BFP skipped me last round I should really skip him.

Yeah genuinely ****ed up there, my bad. Have first pick if you like.

 

[Howe_zat]

I thought you went ahead because you were picking a keeper and GF already had one. Even if it wasn't intentional you didn't take a pick off him. And Furball's team would be a lot worse off if he'd taken Boucher ahead of Harvey anyway. So go ahead and pick BFP

 

[BackFootPunch]

Okay cheers. Given my need for bowlers I'm very tempted to go for D, what a player. But it's hard pass up some of the batting quality in this round.

Will go for Player G.

 

[Furball]

H

 

[Coronis]

Confused as to how Lisle Nagel was picked by me when you did say you were removing players with that many tests..

 

[Howe_zat]

I didn't.

 

[Coronis]

It could be anyone. I am skipping over a few cases of johnny two tests from 1964 so as we've at least heard of most of the options though.

Perhaps I misunderstood. Guess he's a johnny 1 test.

"It could be anyone". "A few cases". "Most of". You clearly misunderstood

Hope I get the long end of the stick..

 

[GIMH]

Can I go now or do I have to wait 12 hours until Cab hasn't bothered?

 

[Spikey]

What a post.
