Grand Slam Draft Tournament

[BoyBrumby]

Not a Stokes joke, but so far if our teams had an all-in brawl Id be on your team.

Yeah, some big fellas in my selections so far. Greigy, Pietersen and Jofra all over 6' 4" and Stokes and Prior both, um, combative sorts.

Reggie Schwarz next, please.

As a union international and a Major in the King's Royal Rifle Corps who won a Military Cross in WW1 I think he could probably handle himself too.

Brumby and NUFAN appear to be drafting a disproportionate number of England players ��

Please decide whether to pick first, or choose parameters. Commiserations to everyone who was knocked out in the first round. It's a bitter pill! Hope y'all will stick around and continue to follow the comp.

A little late but congrats Marcuss and other winners, good fun being involved in my first draft on here.

I thought about going Gladstone Small in the end I figure this is a pretty interesting bowling attack to face. Freddie Brown
