All Formats Draft

[Red]

If I get the last guy I really want I'll be surprised, but I can only hope!

 

[AldoRaine18]

I pick Clem Hill.

An attacking and effective batsman from what I read about him, in the matches with complete records of balls faced, his test strike rate is among the 80s. In the other games you can judge from the number of minutes he spent on the pitch that he could score quickly when needed and was an attractive stroke player with a strong bottom hand, precise timing and placement. I'll use him as an opener, although he came in at number 3 I think he would be good in this role, specially in the LOIs.

To add to that he was also known to be a brilliant fielder.

With that, this is my batting order :

1. Haynes
2. Hill
3. Ponting
4. Kallis
5. S Waugh
6. A Flower
7. Klusener

Do people accept hill as a test opener? Would love to hear some feedback.

 

[Red]

Many believed Hill to be Trumper's superior as a batsman. He never opened, but I can't see why he wouldn't be successful there, esp in LOs

 

[kyear2]

Messes up my plans but too great a player to leave on the board.

Sunil Gavaskar. Will sit out the LO stuff

 

[kyear2]

01. Sunil Gavaskar
02. Roy Fredericks
03. Kumar Sangakkara
04. Greg Chappell
05. Clive Lloyd
06. Sourav Ganguly
07.
08. Malcolm Marshall
09.
10. William O'Reilly
11. Colin Croft

Derek Underwood to complete my bowling unit.

Tests:

Dale Steyn
Sir Andy Roberts
Courtney Walsh

LOs:

Shane Watson

Derek Underwood
Dale Steyn
Sir Andy Roberts
Courtney Walsh

 

[watson]

Gotta tidy up that lower order I reckon Harsh. A late career Roberts was actually pretty handy with the bat. Also, Steyn above Underwood perhaps, despite Underwood's occasional nightwatchman duties.

 

[AldoRaine18]

Things have gone a bit quiet and slow...

 

[kyear2]

A bit.

 

[Saint Kopite]

Hoe x2, Camo to pick

 

[Camo999]

I'll go for Darren Gough. Good in all formats. I recall him being something of a limited overs specialist towards the end of his international career. And he had a very good T20 against Australia in 2005.

 

[watson]

Looks like that you have another eclectic and facinating team happening Camo - similar to the Decade Draft.

 

[Saint Kopite]

MARK BOUCHER

[Pothas]

Eddie Barlow

 

[Dan]

Eddie Barlow

You have got to be kidding me. WAFC.

So, so wanted Barlow for this. WAG.

 

[Prince EWS]

So, so wanted Barlow for this. WAG.

If you wanted him that much you wouldn't have waited until Round 9.

 

[Dan]

If you wanted him that much you wouldn't have waited until Round 9.

Figured he was safe to push off/wanted the bowling unit set first.

He was a slow List A batsman and has no T20 record (obvs), plus wasn't exactly a standout opener. I hoped he'd slip until next round. Oh well, I've worked out a replacement already

You do realise I am picking before you right?
