Draft suggestion: "Never met" XI

[jimmy101]

I'll round my team off with someone who rarely gets picked in a draft, Graham McKenzie

Barry Richards
Archie Jackson
Vivian Richards*
Rahul Dravid
Vinod Kambli
Frank Woolley
Imitaz Ahmed+
Vernon Philander
Bobby Peel
Graham McKenzie
Neil Adcock

Thanks for running the draft Andrew, great concept, once which I don't think has ever been done before actually.

Shame two of best test bats in the modern era, in Kolhli and Azhar Ali are not getting to play each othr.

Tell me about it. Also, would be nice to see Shah try his skills against the best players of spin or a kohli or pujara vs amir.

 

[Himannv]

Speaking of Shah, Yasir Shah is my final pick in the draft.

 

[Himannv]

01. Arthur Shrewsbury /
02. Eddie Barlow /o
03. Ricky Ponting /
04. Stan McCabe /o
05. Wilfred Rhodes /o
06. Garry Sobers /o

Thanks... unfortunately you can't pick Graham McKenzie as he played against Barry Richards.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So do I have 2 picks to make at the present moment?

 

[AndrewB]

Yes

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Yes

Okay good.

Learie Constantine

[ankitj]

Only Red_Hill and vitalogy83 left to finish their XIs.

 

[vitalogy83]

Bill Edrich


Jack Hobbs
Stewie Dempster
Bill Edrich
Vijay Hazare
Zaheer Abbas
Robin Smith
Andy Flower (Wk) C
Rangana Herath
Fred Spofforth
Michael Holding
Wes Hall


I think Edrich is still available

 

[AndrewB]

He is, but he played against Hazare in 1946.

 

[vitalogy83]

Bah!

OK then I will go bowling heavy with Stuart Clark

Jack Hobbs
Stewie Dempster
Vijay Hazare
Zaheer Abbas
Robin Smith
Andy Flower (Wk) C
Rangana Herath
Stuart Clark
Fred Spofforth
Michael Holding
Wes Hall

 

[AndrewB]

Having checked through the teams, the only other ineligible pick I can see is kingkallis's last pick of Lee Irvine, since he already has Denis Lindsay in the side.
Plus Red Hill has two picks still to make (and Howe_zat can still come in with 5 picks if he wants!)

 

[vitalogy83]

All in all, this was a very enjoyable draft. Quite a clever idea actually. Thanks for running it.

It required a little bit of thinking about when who you picked and when without digging yourself a hole

 

[randycricfreak]

Pretty sure I have already won this.

Langer
Sutcliffe
Weekes
Bob Simpson
Shai Hope
Cullinan
Tim Paine
Malcolm Marshall
Steyn
Underwood
Lohmann.

Thanks.Loved the draft AndrewB.

Expecting the winners cheque to be mailed,once RH is done with his picks

 

[ankitj]

Yup. Fun draft. Needed lot of thinking. Thanks for running it, Andrew.

Yes, and I didn't entirely succeed with my own picks,,,

Glad to hear that people enjoyed the draft.
