Another "bid for position" draft

[Line and Length]

For a moment I thought you'd taken my 2 "Ws" but my first pick was always Everton Weekes. Plenty of talent left but most bat higher than #5.

 

[Line and Length]

Pick 2 is easy. Neil Harvey adds the left handed aspect and he averaged 137.2 at #5.

I'm assuming that although you've picked a keeper in the batting you still have to pick one in the keeper round?

I think you can pick anyone then (unless mistaken) they just cannot bat in top 6. But the players in final round will likely be keepers or allrounders below the top tier.

 

[JOJOXI]

Yes, I think there's a case for having "openers (2)", "other batters (4)", "bowlers (4)", and then one final pick, as some people might want one of their openers/middle-order to be the keeper.

Quoting this for reference - was later confirmed we were using Magrats system with the quoted below caveat.

That’s correct; and we’ll go with Magrat’s suggestion, with the caveat that in your final XI, you must have the 2 players you pick in round 1 as openers, and the 4 you pick in round 2 batting 3 to 6 (in some order).

So to clarify, will I be picking another wicket keeper? If yes then I would like to change my pick. If no then I will retain Gilly.

So yeah Gilly will be playing as No.6 and will be my wicket keeper.

@honestbharani is known for few strange picks each draft so I was hoping to grab at least Frank Worrell . Sadly he decided to save that for another round.

Destructive Kevin Pietersen to bat at No.5.
