Sheep Draft version 5.0
- Thread starter NUFAN
- Start date
NUFAN
Y no Afghanistan flag
Cool. Sheeps added. Onto the next set of questions. I think q7 is similar to a question in one of the previous drafts. It must have been a great question.
Q6a Select a Cricketer who Fred Trueman dismissed
Q7a Select a Cricketer who's surname ends with a vowel - a,e,I,o,u - Any debate, cricinfo player profile page to confirm.
Q8a Pick a fielder who has taken 50 to 99 catches in his career - yes a keeper is considered a fielder too.
Banned Players: Ken Barrington, Don Bradman, Greg Chappell, Alan Davidson, George Giffen, Adam Gilchrist, Matt Hayden, Stan McCabe, Vijay Merchant, Bill O'Reilly, Barry Richards, Chris Rogers, Bob Simpson, Garry Sobers, Hedley Verity - Probably not the worst idea to start looking at who has already been picked too.

I didn't check the stats sorry. But I'm bound to get a sheep at some point, so please feel free.

1. Phil Jaques
2. Trevor Gripper (baa - get yer pads on early Rob)
3. Rob Quiney (baa - no.4 you should probably pad up before the openers go out too)
4.
5. Aravinda de Silva
6.
7.
8. Wilfred Rhodes (not sure what I was thinking there, not a terribad call, but Sobers, Tendulkar etc - probably would have done no worse if I had got a sheep)

you think your luck has to change, but really it doesn't

Oh bloody hell.
There were so many players I passed over as well thinking I'd gone for the safe choice.

Nah rhodes as a spinner is atg material, way better than any sheep.

Yeah Rhodes is a stellar player and I picked him mainly as a spinner, but his solid batting and ability to slot into opener if I didn't get any other options (gee didn't that work out well) were also considerations. But there aren't too many dud players with a test career of 16 years or more. It would have been interesting to see who n00fers would have picked out for the sheep in that question. I was thinking Sobers before going for Wilf, but assumed (along with everyone else apparently) that there was no way he didn't get picked by some else.

It would have been:
John Traicos
Freddie Brown
Mick Commaille
Younis Ahmed
Tip Snooke
Charles Kelleway
Mushtaq Ali
Ken Viljoen

ok so I could have done a lot worse than old Wilfred...
Snooke, Kellaway and Brown are probably a bit stiff to be lumped in with the sheep here though.

Nah I haven't picked either yet; between football and work haven't had the chance to go through the options

Looks like Butt was pretty abominable with the bat, but a fairly decent keeper so I shouldn't be too awful if I just stick him right down the order.

Andy Sandham played 3 miserable Tests against Australia but he did manage a triple century against the West Indies and 40,000 First Class runs, mostly with Jack Hobbs at Surrey. If it wasn't for a bloke called Herbert Sutcliffe then he probably would have played many more Test matches than he did.
