[watson]

Yeah, having Bruce Mitchell at the top of the order does look good kyear.

Next up;

89. Morgieb
90. Monk
91. ohnoitsyou

 

[kyear2]

My problem in this draft is that I panicked when the top spinners went off the board and probably reached for Laker when Benaud or Underwood would have been more or less just as good later in the draft and got a top tier batsman instead to join Viv.

I'm sure that everyone has a - "SHOULDA, COULDA, WOULDA, DIDN'T" - pick or two in most Drafts.

 

[Red]

My problem is every prick keeps taking someone I want JUST BEFORE MY TURN!

Got this nagging feeling that you're going to do the same to me this round

Ha. I'm trying to decide between three players, knowing that I'll probably only get one of them.

Archy Jackson (1900s) for mine

Rahul Dravid

Charles Macarney
Garry Sobers
Mike Proctor

Ray Lindwall
Andy Roberts

Judging by the teams till now, one of the favs for the draft.

Camo999's turn now.

 

[watson]

Thanks for putting up another call-of-the-board SK. Now over to the UK.....

 

[Camo999]

Thanks guys,

I know Bill Ponsford (1900) was best known as an opener but he played a bit in the middle order in tests and according to his profile 'He was second to none as a player of spin bowling, and O'Reilly reckoned him to be an even tougher opponent than Bradman to bowl at...'

Plus I've seen a fair bit of my cricket (and footy) sitting in his stand at the MCG so I'll stick him in my middle order somewhere.

Hobbs, Grace, .... Javed, Ponsford, ..... Benaud, Akram, ..... ..... B Johnston, .......
