Ascending batting average draft (tests)

[Line and Length]

I'll have Alan Davidson (24.59) to add left-arm variation. A bit 'expensive' but he shortens my tail.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Alec Bedser (12.75)

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Ataraxia catch up pick.
Then srbhkshk then me again.

 

[ataraxia]

Alec Bedser (12.75)

Oh no way, just made up my mind to pick him.

 

[ataraxia]

Shane Bond (12.92) instead.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Oh sorry about that. Do you want me to change?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I will take that as a no.

srbhkshk - FP (me) - AndrewB - Ataraxia

He's not expensive for a #8. He will slot in perfectly there and you still get a good #7

 

[ataraxia]

Oh sorry about that. Do you want me to change?

Nah, it's just the game. No hard feelings.

[srbhkshk]

Ankit already posted the order - so deleting.

Instead I am gonna use the post to say, that I am quite okay with the three guys I have got so far.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Hugh Tayfield (16.90)

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Andrew B - Ataraxia - Pothas - Red Hill

 

[ankitj]

Hugh Tayfield (16.90)

You are on your way to get an epic bowling attack!

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah Tayfield an awesome pick. Always forget SA had an ATG spinner

 

[anil1405]

Drafting is a dog eat dog world and having a life just doesn't cut it

And watching it as a spectator to see which dog picks others (potential) bones is fun. Would've gone crazy to be a part of 18 man draft.

 

[ankitj]

Yeah Tayfield an awesome pick. Always forget SA had an ATG spinner

I decided to pick MacGill because I was so desperate to get to Hadlee. Had many good spinner options at the time. Would have even picked Bedi instead of MacGill but it was all part of an elaborate plan to prevent anyone else from executing my strategy to get Hadlee. Same with Cowie vs. Colin Croft.

 

[Line and Length]

My plans were thwarted to an extent when Underwood went. I was after the best left-arm quick (Davidson) so I took Lyon to be sure I could get him.. Pretty happy with an attack that includes McGrath, Tyson & Davidson with Lyon as the spin option. A fair wait until my next pick.

 

[ankitj]

Yes, your pace attack is certainly very very good. Fuller Pilch may end up with best set of 4 frontline bowlers I think.
