"200 Tests or less" Draft

[morgieb]

Peter Nevill (10)

Also ****s jumping the gun ftl.

 

[AndrewB]

Howe_Zat > schearzie > Red Hill > jimmy101, followed by Round 7.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Whoops. My bad. Got confused about the order since I had timed out in the previous round and morgieb picked before me. No harm done though, thankfully.

 

[longranger]

Can we see the order of Rounds 7 and 8?

 

[Howe_zat]

Allan Steel

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Martin Love (5)

 

[OverratedSanity]

Martin Love (5)

Aw shucks

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Aw shucks

Not sure if serious, but I couldn't leave him much longer just in case someone took him. He played some of the best shield innings I've seen (but I've mostly seen Gabba matches tbf).

 

[AndrewB]

Can we see the order of Rounds 7 and 8?

Not sure it's fair if the last few pickers from Round 6 know their position in the next rounds, but I don't think it's giving much away to say that they aren't in the first 3, so:

Round 7 starts:
morgieb
mr_mister
Overrated Sanity

 

[AndrewB]

Red Hill has timed out: jimmy101 can pick.

 

[Red]

Len Pascoe (14)

 

[Red]

Red Hill XI

Vijay Merchant
Pieter van der Bijl

Tich Freeman
Len Pascoe
Pat Cummins
JJ Ferris

 

[Pratters]

Wicket keepers will be interesting picks. One can always find people who played a few tests and weren't bad batsmen.

 

[AndrewB]

jimmy101 to complete Round 6, then Round 7 starts:
morgieb > mr_mister > Overrated Sanity > stphndbsn > Red Hill

I'm about to go to bed: will post the full Rounds 7 and 8 in the (UK) morning.

 

[jimmy101]

Yasir Shah (12)

 

[longranger]

Yasir Shah (12)

Nice pick. I had identified him but ultimately decided against him.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah I was targetting him too

 

[morgieb]

David Steele (8)

 

[jimmy101]

Yeah Shah was a pretty handy pick. Quality spinner at a reasonable price.
