I scanned a few recent general drafts and found Hussey was picked relatively early compared to other candidates, so that's my justification for picking him. When I pick Hill I tend to play him at #5, though looking at his record he definitely was a #3 (although perhaps not a draft-quality one).
@AndyZaltzHair
Macartney's always an interesting one. He's been forgotten in the batting all-rounder stakes in drafts in the last couple of years, and even beforehand stood out to me as a gun but a departure from the traditional draft canon (even though he was picked rather frequently) -- you don't really see Charlie even being name-dropped in CC all too often. How would you guys rate him vis-a-vis Armstrong?

Personally I think Clem is as suitable a 3 as Trumper is an opener. Maybe even moreso as Trumper has Hobbs as a direct opening peer asking a few questions of his record
As for Macartney, all things considered I find it really hard to split him and McCabe as next best Aussie bat after the Don in the inter war period. His record in the 20s after he became more of a specialist number 3 is really impressive

Any chance of a list of players already selected. Country by country would be good.

Thanks very much.
Also putting them in approximate batting orders/grouped with players doing the same task is especially helpful.

I thought it was @CricAddict now, but he picked before me. Is it @howitzer ?
Silver Silva
International Regular
Yeah I think CricAddict saw you can't pick any SA players that's why he played before you
Hard to rate as an all-rounder; in his first two series he took quite a few wickets at about 20, while not scoring very many; after that his batting average kept going up, but he didn’t bowl very much. If you’re picking him as a #3, he’s only at about Hammond/Dexter/Chappell level as a bowler (but a spinner).

@Line and Length up now i believe. @howitzer with a catch up pick
