Another "bid for position" draft

[AndrewB]

@AndrewB - u got my bids in the wrong order. I bid 999 for 1 and 99001 for 2nd position.

Both picks for openers are in the same round, so the order of your picks doesn't matter.

 

[Line and Length]

It's been over 12 hours since Teuton picked so I guess @ataraxia is timed out. I'll pick Len Hutton.

@honestbharani is up with @ataraxia having a catch-up

 

[ataraxia]

Ah **** a few minutes late. Nevermind. Sunil Gavaskar.

We can see that you cant wait to pick your second opener to complete an awesome pair

Sadly himannv picked my next choice and I'm torn between a few more recent openers and another Yorkshireman to pair with Hutton. I'll go with the latter. Geoff Boycott please.

Len Hutton @kingkallis

Taken by Line and Length - had me thinking I made a serious oversight for a second!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Graaah. Sorry for confusion.

I should just have spent 1 buck on this pick but anyway Gordon Greenidge

Was hoping he might trickle through to my 2nd pick had been thinking between him and Sehwag for a while for 1st choice.

If it's any consolation I am almost always wondering why I didn't bid less when I see a decent sized gap between my bid and the next lowest bid!

Graham Gooch to open with Matthew Hayden

CricZo XI

Graham Gooch /
Matthew Hayden /

Experience of 221 test matches and scored 17,525 test runs for their teams opening the batting. Both are known for their hunger for big innings and their highest score of 333 and 380 shows what they can do once they get in!

 

[Himannv]

I saw the Hayden pick coming from kk due to his irrational love for the man, but Gooch took me by surprise. Interesting choice.

 

[JOJOXI]

I'll go with Bob Simpson

@ataraxia

I have picked Gooch quiet a few times as I like the Essex opener.
