[The Battlers Prince]

Cheers, I think it's all good.

I see a lot of you picking a***holes, so I'm picking a guy who performs best to say screw you to those guys.

will do an update some time in the next two hours, if anyone hasn't done their round four pick we'll wait for them before doing R5 (aside from the TBP pick since i'm not that pedantic)

 

[Victor Ian]

I've lost track of what's going on. Last I remember, you made it two picks at a time, 6 hours apart. By that reckoning we should all have about 6 names picked by now. I've been holding back with no idea where it's at. What happened to people posting this>>that>>whatever types of updates along the way. Come on people. Help an old stoner out.

 

[Shady Slim]

changed it to one pick but we do it in "block" rounds where all of us pick in no particular order and we get to pick again after everyone's picked

 

[Victor Ian]

understood - thanks

As people have started venturing into my grounds I'm going to have to claim my star keeper before he's poached.

7 - Kali : Keeps wicket and destructive batsman before the tail. 10 arms and legs means leg slip to 4th slip are covered by one player. Imagine a packed slips cordon, donning gloves and pads. No one scores behind the wicket against Kali. Kali scares the crap out of opposition, much like Curtly did when angry, only no one has ever done this before as a keeper.

He gets enough of that with all the photos next to Sachin

 

[Zinzan]

Fair

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Bob Hawke
Paul Keating
Michael Gorbachev
Alexander the Grear

He'll probably try to cut everything

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rafael Nadal

Absolutely deadly on dusty brown surfaces because of the insane amount of topspin he puts on the ball. He'd kill it on SC pitches. Basically Ravindra Jadeja turned up to 11. Has a better batting technique than Jaddu as well, as clearly seen below.

-
-
Lord Hanuman
-
-
Burgey (c)
Eric Clapton
Rafael Nadal
-
-
Usain Bolt

Also, sicne this team is captained by Burgey, this is not the last SC bully spinner I'm picking.

Rubbish pick when no test matches are played in France. Has no chance on a green top.

Was finished by age 32 though. Didn't even make it to the end of his last tour.
