Cricket Budget Draft

[smash84]

Well Fazal is fast bowler too...

Fazal was more of a medium pacer than a fast bowler.

Well, he is referred to as medium-fast by Wisden so I guess that should fit your criteria

 

[Spikey]

Good day guys. We basically got through a full round.

Bill Woodfull
Lindsay Hassett
Everton Weekes
Andy Flower
Darren Lehmann
Clarrie Grimmet
Alec Bedser
Colin Croft

Lehmann taken because I thought he was more or less the best sub 30 test batsman left and I didn't expect him to be there in 20 picks time

wow......thanks Watson for posting the article on Fazal,

Didn't know he was a DSP back then.

What a legend Fazal. RIP

No worries Smali.

Back to Barnes for a minute - by his own admission Derek Underwood 'cut' the ball rather than spun it, and yet we don't mind classifying him as a 'spinner' despite bowling at medium pace as well,

Golf Articles - An Interview With Derek Underwood | National Club Golfer

Sydney Barnes put a lot more work on the ball than Underwood because mid-on and mid-off could apparently hear the crack of his fingers. If Underwood is a spinner then so is Barnes IMO. Just a deal faster when he needed to be.

 

[Jarquis]

OK, I'll go Charlie Macartney and Hugh Tayfield.

You just sunk my battleship.

 

[kyear2]

Guys, is Barnes a pacer or a spinner? Crucial question for my team.

For me no doubt a medium pacer, especially on true pitches as he would have faced in Australia.

Spikey picked Darren Lehman

Sorry about that, but we are down the pointy end of the Draft. How Macartney lasted into the 7th Round is a mystery to me. Actually "ummd & arrd" over him and Dexter for quite a while. Now I have both

BTW Just hope that Cabinet doesn't return, take several players in one hit, and really stuff everyone up.

 

[Jarquis]

Ummed and aahed over Wasim and Macartney for ages. He'd suit my team so well

Which just goes to show that Drafting is half-judgement and half-luck. It's a very unpredictable thing.

On the bright side, Wasim does suit your attack, and it would have been a shame to miss out on him. You weren't to know.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

I had actually done my full write up with Macartney selected, and then changed to Beefy and had to redo everything.

More surprising was that Tayfield was still available. I'd have picked him instead of Ranji if he you didn't snap him up. Last great affordable spinner IMO.
