Clause-Mystery-Choice Draft Thread 2014

[harsh.ag]

All right then, since G.I. has been a no-show for almost 48 hours now, I am handing over the reins to Monk for his two picks.

I will begin the fourth round now (Monk can choose anytime he can/wants unless G.I. pops over before him)

And it's time for the FIRST MYSTERY BOX



I am presenting 10 options to choose from here. The key is [Player Role, Country of Debut, Year of Debut]. You pick the alphabet associated with the choice, and I will assign the players to everyone together at the end of the round


A. Bowler, Australia, 1985
B. Wicket-Keeper, South Africa, 1947
C. All-Rounder, England, 1899
D. Batsman, West Indies, 1972
E. Bowler, Pakistan, 1952
F. Batsman, Pakistan, 1990
G. Batsman, England, 1951
H. Batsman, India, 1948

[Howe_zat]

Are you sure that the description for A is correct?

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Are you sure that the description for A is correct?

Second this. Also is country who the player debuted for, or the country in which they debuted?

 

[Howe_zat]

If it's the latter I'll punch a kitten

 

[harsh.ag]

Are you sure that the description for A is correct?

Second this. Also is country who the player debuted for, or the country in which they debuted?

Yeah. Thanks for pointing it out. It's 1985. Corrected.

Country who the player debuted for.

 

[bagapath]

C

I hope I don't kick myself later for not going for ---- or -----

 

[AldoRaine18]

Haha I was stuck with A as well.

 

[Howe_zat]

There's a spud and a good player in every spot. I'll save folk the time of checking that

 

[AldoRaine18]

Is B also correct?

 

[harsh.ag]

Yup.

 

[watson]

G. Batsman, England, 1951

Pop the champagne if it's Dennis Compton.

 

[watson]

We do have one more Clause left don't we? If so, which round harsh?

 

[harsh.ag]

We do have one more Clause left don't we? If so, which round harsh?

Have to wait for the answer.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm going for D

 

[AldoRaine18]

G. Batsman, England, 1951

Pop the champagne if it's Dennis Compton.

Sorry if I made a mistake, first time I am playing this mystery box format, but cricinfo says Compton made his debut in 1937.

 

[harsh.ag]

No you're not wrong. Watson had a little slip there.

 

[watson]

No you're not wrong. Watson had a little slip there.

Been a long day so didn't pay attention to word 'debut'. So I'll probably be getting Peter May instead then?

 

[watson]

I'm going for D

That means that you'll be getting Geoff Greenidge. Apparently he's completely unrelated to Gordon, and the last 'white' cricketer to play for the West Indies.

 

[Prince EWS]

So you'll probably be getting Geoff Greenidge then Howe. He's completely unrelated to Gordon, but does so happen to be the last 'white' cricketer to play for the West Indies.

Brendan Nash says hello.
