    Tate bowled 10167 balls in 1925, if he's fast enough for you. Richardson bowled 8451 in the season he took 290 wickets, which I would guess is the most he ever bowled. Turner bowled 9710 in 1888. (Wisden Book of Cricket Records).

Admittedly that includes 15-124 on a sticky wicket, but he also took 5-94 in an Aus total of 485 in the previous match. Conversely, in his second series his 7 wickets cost 60 each.

    Draft - your selection must have a batting average close to the previous player's selection

    Yeah, I thought of picking Border (just I thought of picking Hutton in R1 and Procter in R2). Also, why does the person before me always go for a wild card pick? All those hours of planning down the drain :-D
