Quinton de Kock

You must now pick a player from every remaining letter (on your turn of course).

 

[stephen]

Oh and weldone, your team selections have downright infuriated me haha. I'll explain why later.

 

[Teuton]

Just noticed, trundler (Gooch) should be before SCC (Goddard) anyway.

Correct.

Unless Trundler objects, I'll let SCC's pick go through and Trundler can have 8h from now (when SCC picked) for his pick.

 

[stephen]

Can you please post your completed team in their batting order SCC?

[trundler]

Well this is risky but I'll take Greg Chappell

 

[kingkallis]

Well this is risky but I'll take Greg Chappell

Risky? How? Its the most logical at this point of time.

 

[trundler]

Well, if you don't see it.

Skipping D (heh) means I go to the back of the queue. 2 players from 2 letters.

 

[kingkallis]

Well, if you don't see it.

Skipping D (heh) means I go to the back of the queue. 2 players from 2 letters.

Oh come on. Stop being greedy. You will still have plenty of good players to pick from by the time your turn comes.

 

[ankitj]

Bad move trundler.

I'm sure that's what you wanted to hear.

 

[stephen]

Yeah I'm pretty happy with that pick.

I'll take Alan Davidson.

[stephen]

I personally think your strongest move Trundler was to take Davidson, given you still had a number of great bats you could have taken in the Bs. Though I guess there are a number of great B quicks too.

 

[Pothas]

I was expecting him to take Davidson but then was 100% that you would. All fine by me:

Rahul Dravid.

 

[ankitj]

Yup trundler screwed up. May just as well withdraw from the draft.

 

[ankitj]

Came so close to picking Dravid!

Anyway, I'll take double of Roy Fredericks and Denis Compton.
