An Orderly Test Draft

[Himannv]

Thought really hard about picking Border but I prefer him at 5 or 6 so didn’t take him. Great choice!

Haha, the middle order batters were basically picked on autopilot. Weekes/Walcott/Barrington going in a row must be an oft-repeated sequence here

 

[ataraxia]

This is a friggen tough choice I have here. So many options.

Names that were fast disappearing from my list. I jumped out of bed at 4.00am (WA time) fearing I'd be timed out, but ataraxia had suffered that fate and had just made his pick. Hence, in my bleary eyed state, I typed R.Dravid instead of Rahul Dravid.

@honestbharani You have to pick another batsman for Walcott. He only qualifies as a #3 or #5 and your earlier selection (Sangakarra) only qualifies for #3.

You might still get Walcott in Round 5 or 6 and have him at #5 in your team.

Walcott batted 74 times, 23 at #3 and 31 at #5 but only 8 times at #4.

I should have checked earlier before making my pick for a #3 as Walcott was on my list but you had taken him (illegally).

I'm tempted to edit my selection accordingly but will stick with Dravid at #3 (Walcott's performances there were less impressive than when he was batting lower).

@CricAddict - Walcott is still on the list for you as Lara can bat at 4 and Walcott at 3 (I should have indicated that with * on the selections list.

 

[CricAddict]

I like Walcott and so will take him ?

 

[ataraxia]

I'll take Walcott if possible.

edit: didn't see CricAddict's post above...
