Nufan followed by Camo999....

 

[NUFAN]

Going for a gamble here..

Andrew Flintoff.

I can't remember if he played 78 or 79, if he doesn't fit the criteria, I'll pick again soon.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

All good Freddie played 79

 

[NUFAN]

Thanks mate, I thought I had it correct because of his non-selection last round. I might have 78 in my mind because of that World XI game which counts on his stats. This pick was due to a lack of better options that I could think of. There was a bowler who I rate higher, but I needed some batting..

 

[Red]

When will we see the R11 order?

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I had the same situation and I know who you're talking about, but I needed batting too.

Safe to say we don't have to worry about Nufan taking any more bowlers….

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Haha yep

 

[Camo999]

Waqar Younis

Hanif
Bardsley

Crowe

Rhodes
Davidson
Blackham
Waqar
Croft

 

[kingkallis]

I thought Marshall > Hadlee > Hutton > Hammond > Waqar would be the first 5 to go.

I wanted Waqar in my team but it would have given me a lil longer tail with him batting at No.8.

 

[NUFAN]

I thought Marshall > Hadlee > Hutton > Hammond > Waqar would be the first 5 to go.

I wanted Waqar in my team but it would have given me a lil longer tail with him batting at No.8.

Wonder who wiill be the top 5 next round. Really hope a top 5 pick slips to my 6th pick.

 

[kingkallis]

Wonder who wiill be the top 5 next round. Really hope a top 5 pick slips to my 6th pick.

Yeah, I was lucky to get Hutton as it completed my opening pair. Now my No.3 can play without any pressure of going to bat in the first few overs of the game.

 

[Agent TBY]

Well, that last pick makes things easier for me.

Matt Prior to keep wickets for my side.

 

[mr_mister]

edit - changing my pick to rohan kanhai. need a right hander somewhere in that top 7

[Agent TBY]

Can we get R11 and 12 orders before I pick, please?

 

[Zinzan]

Fellas - Given the consensus seems to be for a 12th round to allow for an even number of order reversals, let's open it up with round 12 to be players from the <25 test range. (we may even want to limit it to the 20-25 test range so it's not so crucial).

And to make it interesting, you can select your final XI from all 12 players in your squad as opposed to the player you choose in round 12 automatically becoming your twelfth-man.

Anyone object to this? Suggestions for the final test number range welcome.
