an idea: a draft of non-cricketers

[Howe_zat]

Nice pick buy still 3 hours to go before u can pick I think

Ahhh **** this ****. That's what's wrong with these idiotic ****ing drafts. Why doesn't everyone just pick a ****ing eleven at once and post the **** like a normal person would? **** you all. Nice try from the OP to make this ********* format of thread actually interesting, but not even such a wonderful idea could do it. Yep, drafts kill everything. Even decent ideas like this. If drafts were around in the early 1900s, Henry Ford would never have got the Model T built, because some **** would have had to wait an extra 30 minutes until they could add a component. Out.

Rd 1

Red Hill – Will & Grace
Zinzan – Inspector Gadget
Camo999 – Tonya Harding
Stephen - Sir Isaac Newton
Shady Slim - Batman
RTB - Kim Jong Il
OS – Usain Bolt
TBP - Spiderman
Victor Ian - Jesus
Morgieb - Kim Il-sung
mr_mister – The Undertaker
Burgey – Bob Hawke
Fredfertang - Yoda

Geez, an interesting list of selections. We're up to Rd 2 - reverse order - so Fred -> Burgey -> mr_mister (I think).

 

[fredfertang]

I think captaincy is going to be important here, and the successful skipper is going to have to be ruthless

Genghis Khan

I wonder whether that other Khan is related to him?

[Burgey]

Paul Keating - was a devastating combination with Hawky in the 80s and no one else on the team would need to say a word, so good would be his sledging from first slip.

1. Bob Hawke
2. Paul Keating

 

[Burgey]

I know a bloke who looks like Beaker.

He's a ****, too.

 

[Red]

so good would be his sledging from first slip.

Yes!

 

[Burgey]

I don't think PJK ever actually held a cricket bat, but it would be good for a giggle.

"Now listen mate," [to John Browne, Minister of Sport, who was proposing a 110 per cent tax deduction for contributions to a Sports Foundation] "you're not getting 110 per cent. You can forget it. This is a ****ing Boulevard Hotel special, this is. The trouble is we are dealing with a sports junkie here [gesturing towards Bob Hawke]. I go out for a piss and they pull this one on me. Well that's the last time I leave you two alone. From now on, I'm sticking to you two like **** to a blanket. "

Imagine him and Chappeli meeting with Bradman and the ACB in the 70s.

 

[Adders]

Paul Keating

Hope this game is not going to be played in England then. Not sure Mr Keating is allowed in the country after molesting Her Majesty on his last visit.

 

[Burgey]

Opposing captain: "Why won't you declre now?"

Keating: "Because mate, I wanna do you slowly".

 

[Victor Ian]

mr_mister > Morgrieb > Victor Ian > TBP

 

[Shady Slim]

ftr love the good spirits guys, i guess since it's a more casual draft there's no need to get as antsy when it comes to picks but still picking on time is the top bloke thing to do

keep up the fun pics, great drafting so far

 

[mr_mister]

Former Kid Rock hype man/sidekick Joe C to take the keeping gloves

 

[The Battlers Prince]

This is some bloody good fun. I'm excited to see what direction everybody goes in, Jesus was picked lol seriously. Everyone's picking awesome

 

[Victor Ian]

Morgrieb still to vote - but f that - i have to sleep.

Bhudda : In the mold of David Boon, fields Silly Leg. Opening bat who can move to number 3 (when Jesus is unavailable due to crucifixion). Downs amber with ease. A penchant for throw away one liners with unerring timing makes batsman lose concentration pondering existence rather than the ball. Old school, eightfold path off spin, poses many questions of batsmen that most can not answer. Favourite sledge - If you hit a six yet no one sees it, are you still pathetic?

 

[Burgey]

I lol'ed. very well done indeed.

 

[morgieb]

If I went for the guy who started the Cult of Personality in North Korea, why not the man that started in the Communist world itself?

The guy that makes Kim Il Sung look like Ian Sailsbury. Like those wicket-keepers you got in the original ICC who would never get out, he would be the main imposing figure in my batting lineup.

I'm pretty sure if you said he can't play cricket, he'd do it just to prove you wrong. And he's friends with Glenn McGrath, so net practice is sorted.
