[trundler]

I feel like 20 picks have been made since my last pick. Wonder how Red Hill is feeling.

 

[Red]

It's a long wait. But I realised I probably shouldn't have taken both Swann and Evans after I did it. So my top six will just all be proven guns, no mid range hacks (hopefully).

Having an opener that is elite but with a relatively low average at this point of the draft is smart in terms of planning, I think. If Fuller Pilch hadn't taken Greenidge he was going to be my next pick, but that was always a long shot. I think Greenidge is slightly better but I thought I'd go with the guy who'd let me pick sooner.

 

[trundler]

Victor Trumper (39.0)

Ineligible. Played last in 1912 and sadly died before the War ended (not in battle).

 

[kingkallis]

Give me few minutes. Need to check properly.

 

[mr_mister]

Trumper would have been the hack pick of the draft if eligible

 

[kingkallis]

Ian Chappell (42.42)

 

[trundler]

Trumper would have been the hack pick of the draft if eligible

And that was my reasoning behind the post War thing. A 48 average batsman for 39 just ain't right.

 

[mr_mister]

Fair enough. Sucks Barnes was also void though

 

[Coronis]

Tamim Iqbal (38.64)
