Clause-Mystery-Choice Draft Thread 2014

[watson]

Yup. He got Tendulkar out of your grasp though

Prefer Pollock at No.4 anyway as Barlow - Pollock - Faulkner - Procter make for a pretty ***y South African lineup.

 

[Howe_zat]

I think that you're being a bit 'glass half empty'. The only iffy player in that lineup is Amir which is not bad because everyone has an iffy player in their lineup. I've got George Thompson for example.


1. Hutton
2. Rowe
3. Hammond
4. Tendulkar
5. Kallis
6. De Villiers
7.
8. Lindwall
9. Turner
10. Amir
11. O'Reilly

You misunderstand. I want a batsman. The only bat left is a good chance of being Graeme ****ing S***h. I wouldn't vote for it.

Take a keeper. AB can't keep to O'Reilly anyways.

E. Officially the worst team i've ever drafted, so well done Harsh.

That means a lot to me, ohno. Thanks

 

[watson]

So I guess that's option 'A' for Howe then.

 

[harsh.ag]

Let's wait for him. Maybe he would like a keeper.

A. Hope it's Prince, then the whole thing may not be tainted.

Also, people who assume a keeper you've never heard of is better than AB because he has a lower batting average - re think things. At no point has De Villiers been less than a good keeper.

My team is good, vote for them

 

[weeman27bob]

1. Sir Jack Hobbs
2. Gordon Greenidge
3. Misbah ul-Haq
4. Daryll Cullinan
5. Clyde Walcott
6. Warwick Armstrong (c)
7. Adam Gilchrist +
8. Sir Richard Hadlee
9. Frank Foster
10. Hedley Verity
11. Bruce Reid

I make that 6 ATGs and 5 pretty handy players who would make it into pretty much all the teams in world cricket today.

Seam bowling is a little inexperienced, but still pretty nasty.

 

[Howe_zat]

I reckon I win in 7/11 players over weeman

 

[harsh.ag]

Howe is so brazenly shameless, it's almost winning

 

[Howe_zat]

Ftr Harsh, why did you consider Pollock a bowler as oppose to an allrounder? Bloke has plenty of runs at a solid average (comparable to Cairns or Haddin, for example). Bit weirded out by the criteria.

 

[weeman27bob]

I reckon I win in 7/11 players over weeman

If we're going by batting order:

Hobbs > Hutton
Greenidge > Rowe
ul-Haq < Hammond
Cullinan < Tendulkar
Walcott < Kallis
Armstrong > Prince (because he can bowl)
Gilchrist > de Villiers (better keeper)
Hadlee > Lindwall (can bat)
Foster < Turner
Verity > Amir
Reid < O'Reilly


I make that 6 vs. 5 to me.
