[kingkallis]

Desmond Haynes

 

[trundler]

Vijay Hazare. Total steal at this point.

 

[Teuton]

Honest question. How is his name pronounced?

 

[trundler]

Huh-zaa-ray I think

 

[kingkallis]

Honest question. How is his name pronounced?

Ha-zare

 

[Line and Length]

I'll go along with whatever Hazare's countrymen might say.

 

[AndrewB]

Martin Donnelly

 

[JOJOXI]

Honest question. How is his name pronounced?

I wondered that myself a few rounds ago could only find one highlight of the Vijay Hazare trophy where the name was pronounced but it definetly sounded like 3 syllables although quite 'soft' sounding syllables if that makes sense

 

[JOJOXI]

Desmond Haynes

Done well to get him as a 9th pick - I had battled myself between going for him or Colin Croft - with Lloyd already in my side it was always one or the other. Thinking back I might have gone with Steve Waugh over Clive Lloyd - I wanted a strong captain sorted out early with both still available early on, Rod Marsh my first Australian pick and that was just in the last round.

[weldone]

Cheteshwar Pujara

 

[kingkallis]

Inzamam-ul-Haq

 

[trundler]

Not sure if that works but I'll go ahead and take Chandrasekhar before bed.

 

[Teuton]

Inzamam-ul-Haq

Given that Imam-ul-Haq is his nephew , I reckon that ul-Haq (2 syllables) counts as his last name, which would be consistent with al Hasan who we counted as 3

 

[Teuton]

Regardless, I will pick Richie Richardson

 

[Line and Length]

I would think that ul-Haq is 2 syllables and al Hasan is 3 syllables. If I am correct, a replacement is required.

To finish Round 9 we have Honestbharani and JOJOXI with Ataraxia having a 'catch-up' and Kingkallis a possible replacement.
