Currently round 10 (reverse of above) which you started with a double pick....

Correct.....

Sorted above. Thanks.

 

[NUFAN]

John Waite (30.44)

I nearly went for Waite instead of Gilchrist. The good thing about him is his ability to bat anywhere.

I'm assuming Aldo has another hour or so before I can pick?

 

[NUFAN]

I'll go Rob Quiney 3.00

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Ken James (4.72)

Yea, players like Waite give us some flexibility in drafts like these.

Please check your team and numbers. I`ve already messed up on my own once....

PS: I hope nobody minds me putting up next round... was just tired of waiting.

 

[AndrewB]

I was going to pick Steve Waugh, but with Sobers, Jessop, Constantine and Fred Grace my teams already a bit overloaded with batsmen who tended to bat at 5,6,7... so I'm picking Rahul Dravid to finish. Computer's playing up - will post the full team later.

 

[weldone]

Red Hill and sthn don't have balance to pick the batsman I'm going to pick, so I am going to complete my XI now.

Tbh I am very surprised this batsman hasn't been picked yet!

1. Roshan Mahanama
2. Grant Flower
3. M.L. Jaisimha
4. C. B. Fry
5. Mark Ramprakash
6. Abdul Razzaq (5)
7. Don Tallon+
8. Malcolm Marshall (1)
9. Shane Warne* (4)
10. James Anderson (2)
11. Sydney Barnes (3)

 

[OverratedSanity]

I was definitely looking to pick Fry last round but changed my mind at the last moment.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Who's turn?
