ATG 'Mixed Experience' Test XI - Draft

[Agent TBY]

H-How did Knott go undrafted?

 

[kingkallis]

I had him in my mind but Ambrose was too good a pick so I decided to skip Knott. Surprisingly nobody took him.

Coronis picked Dhoni ahead of Knott Maybe he needed a better bat!

Some serious talent is gonna go un-drafted in this round!

 

[kingkallis]

Sunil Gavaskar: such a beautifully poised player. He and Trumper would be incredible to watch in tandem.

Woaah, Sunny played 125 games and right now you are picking for Round 10 and NOT Round 11.

 

[kingkallis]

You can still have Sunny since you are placed at No.1 so keep him and pick somebody else for Round 10.

 

[Coronis]

Aha I honestly didn't. even notice Knott, thought he was already taken.

 

[NUFAN]

I've struggled this whole draft knowing how many Tests keepers have played. Only keeper I know with 100% the number of tests played was gilly's 96. I guess I know Emery Manou and Nev too haha.

Other keepers I could guess the criteria range easily enough I guess but my mind has been set on the best player available each round and it's not been a keeper for me yet.

 

[NUFAN]

Some serious talent is gonna go un-drafted in this round!

Yeah that's what happens when draftees pick outside the criteria.

 

[Red]

You can still have Sunny since you are placed at No.1 so keep him and pick somebody else for Round 10.

Apologies, I had two tabs open and I was looking at the wrong one. I'll change my R10 pick to Gordon Greenidge and keep my R11 pick for R11.

honestbharani > NUFAN > kingkallis

 

[NUFAN]

Been over 12 hours so I'll pick. I quite like the idea of this opening pairing. Batting alongside Bill Lawry is Virender Sehwag.

So I'll finally name my team in the most likely batting order..

1 B Lawry
2 V Sehwag
3
4 Y Khan
5 D Nourse
6 A Flintoff
7 R Lindwall
8
9 H Tayfield
10 I Bishop
11 B Reid

12 W Armstrong

 

[kingkallis]

I'll take Clive Lloyd.
