[harsh.ag]

Okay. So no keeper and fourth bowler then. Awesome

WG Grace (4)
Arthur Shrewsbury
Ken Barrington
Herbie Taylor
Younis Khan
Clive Lloyd
Aravinda de Silva (5)
................ (wk)
Alan Davidson (1)
Bhagwat Chandrasekhar (3)

Nuf. Give me a keeper!!

Aldo's XI

01. Sir Len Hutton
02. Sir Conrad Hunte
03. Wally Hammond
04. Brian Lara
05. Sir Garry Sobers* [6]
06. Keith Miller [5]
07. John Waite+
08. Ray Lindwall [2]
09. Shane Warne [4]
10. Jason Gillespie [3]
11. Glenn McGrath [1]

Bench :

Graham Thorpe
Brendan McCullum
Brett Lee
merv Hughes
Peter Pollock

I have to decide on who to pick between Gillespie, Hughes, Pollock and Lee. Gillespie's proven partnership with Mcgrath is tipping it in his favour at the moment but would like to hear what others say.

Very happy with this team.

 

[AldoRaine18]

So, Aldo wins right? Awesome squad.

I am still surprised that no one else picked Sobers.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah stupid side that.

**** me that's ridiculous haha.

 

[NUFAN]

Fred's going to end up with a pretty cool team. If people are prepared to trade and someone trades out a great bowler for Cabinet's Matt Prior, his team would suddenly start to look awesome too (looks good now anyway, tbf).

 

[Red]

Monk's XI

Geoff Boycott
Justin Langer
Ian Chappell
Kevin Pietersen
Bill Ponsford
Frank Worrell
Ian Healy
Hugh Trumble
Kapil Dev

Michael Holding




Righto guys, who needs a quality keeper? Or a middle order batsman?

Willing to trade either (or both of) Dennis Lindsay or Mike Hussey for a quality quick bowler.

I would play Peter Pollock in the first XI. That will make it a team of all ATG players.

This is a sick strong team BTW. No need for a poll.

 

[AldoRaine18]

Yea was confused between him and Dizzy. Individual quality vs proven partnership...

 

[weldone]

Congrat's Aldo. Shall we get on with NUFAN's next sheep draft?

 

[Cabinet96]

1. Graeme Smith
2. Alastair Cook
3. Kumar Sangakkara
4. Steve Smith*
5. Any Flower
6. Chris Woakes (VC)
7. Alan Knott +
8. Graeme Swann
9. Tim Southee
10. Bill O'Reilly
11. Trent Boult

12. Matt Prior
13. Ajinkya Rahane
14. Nick Compton

Didn't really go in with any game plan other than picking loads of keepers and spinners in round 1. Round two I just went with favourites to make sure I got no sheep. As much as I all the seamers in the side, I'm a bit frustrated I couldn't get better. Amborse, Pollock, Steyn, Johnson, Harris, Anderson, Broad all failed as picks, and Aldo got ****ing McGrath.

 

[Saint Kopite]

Conrats Aldo!

 

[fredfertang]

May not be so many big names but my lot will stretch anyone


Stewie Dempster
John Edrich
Rohan Kanhai+
Stan McCabe
Martin Crowe
David Gower
John Reid*
Harold Larwood
Johnny Wardle
Sylvers
Jack Cowie

Rest of squad - Clem Hill, Colin Blythe, Bob Massie, Bob Taylor, Erapalli Prasana

 

[AldoRaine18]

That's one stylish batting line up.

 

[Pothas]

Virender Sehwag
Matt Hayden
Hashim Amla
Peter May
Ted Dexter
Jack Gregory
Hedley Verity
Graeme Labrooy
Brian Statham
Curtly Ambrose
Angus Fraser

Amla kept for a few overs when AB bowled right?

If someone wants to give me a keeper then they can have a pace bowler as long as it is not Ambrose.

 

[Cabinet96]

Will give you Prior for Statham?

 

[Pothas]

Yeah that will do fine
