Andrew,

Graeme Smith & Shaun Pollock <> Len Hutton / Jack Hobbs

Hm. I'd take Smith & Procter, or Richards & S Pollock, for Hutton & Reid/Donnelly. Make it Richards & Procter and you can have a spinner (Laker/Rhodes/Underwood/Verity) as well.

Harsh- Flower, Shakib and Taylor for Bradman?

 

[harsh.ag]

Harsh- Flower, Shakib and Taylor for Bradman?

Come on bro.

 

[Flem274*]

jaywardene for shoaib?

yea mate

confirmed

 

[Grumpy]

Come on bro.

The deal still stands for Ambrose.

Kingkallis - the same for Procter.

 

[Red]

Come on bro.

Ok then, Flower, Shakib, Taylor and Fleming for Bradman. Four players.

Their combined batting average is 177.60. That's 77.66 MORE than what Bradman can give you. You can't say no to that. In addition to another 77.66 runs in batting average, you get a wicketkeeper who can bat in the top 6 and is his country's undisputed greatest cricketer, and you also get a left arm orthodox spinner who is his country's undisputed greatest cricketer.

Here's the trade as I see it.

You lose - 99.94 in batting average of a guy who was divisive in the dressing room and wouldn't drink with the boys. Although he is Aus's greatest cricketer.

You gain - 177.60 of batting average, an increase of 77.66. The greatest cricketer Zimbabwe ever produced. The greatest cricketer Bangladesh ever produced, plus NZ's best ever captain, and an ATG of NZ top order batting.



This is a massive win for you harsh, don't dismiss this offer lightly, you won't get anything more generous than this. If you needed one extra carrot, I'll even throw in "The Demon" Spofforth, Australia's greatest bowler of all time.

 

[Victor Ian]

the rule of deducting a random player for no trade could have been more fun if it was exchange a random player. Then Red could have sat back and improved his team purely by odds.

 

[Flem274*]

oi red hill swap you samaraweera for ross

 

[Grumpy]

The deal still stands for Ambrose.

Kingkallis - the same for Procter.

Might I add that all 3 of us are reaching that 48 hour limit soon?
