Cricket Budget Draft

[kyear2]

Yeah, you wouldn't want to **** with that. 2 of the fastest bowlers of all time and arguably the best.

Not arguably, he was the best IMO. Additionally he was also up there with the other two in terms of speed.

 

[Red]

Not arguably, he was the best IMO..

Surprised you rate him as the best, being WI and all…

 

[watson]

(OK, now that I've made my morning coffee.....)

This is the easiest pick of all, although there is an English keeper with a similar number of Tests, and who also batted regularly at No.8, that I also like;

01. Arthur Morris - 46
02. Conrad Hunte - 44
03. Ted Dexter - 62
04. Greg Chappell - 87
05. Charlie Macartney - 35
06. Norm O'Neill - 42
07. Mike Procter - 7
08. Jackie Hendricks - 20
09. Hugh Tayfield - 37
10. Andy Roberts - 47
11. Dennis Lillee - 70

I reckon that it's a pretty strong team from one to eleven, with no obvious weak links.

Have just 3 Tests left over, with Procter & Hendricks basically paying for Chappell and Lillee.

In case Andy Roberts is assumed to be appreciably slower than the other West Indian quicks, here is the perfect over against Tony Greig;

The best fast bowler that I faced.......With a lot of bowlers, as soon as you had seen off their first few overs, you knew you were OK - but not with this man. SUNIL GAVASKAR

[watson]

Wtf.....when will this ****ty draft end

I'll go with Andrew Hall

When everyone checks-in twice a day. Once in the morning before work/Uni, and once in the evening after work/Uni. Simple.

Macartney to 3 with Dexter at 5 IMO. Macartney's record at 3 post-WWI is crazy.

 

[ankitj]

Virat Kohli for my 12th pick.

1	Len Hutton
2	Trevor Goddard

Anyone thinks Virat Kohli should play in my first XI?

I leave 2 matches, 2624 runs and 8 wickets on the table.
