"200 Tests or less" Draft

[AndrewB]

Overrated Sanity has now timed out, I think?
Plus a correction to "Total number of Tests for Rounds 1-4" for stphndbsn: it's 65 not (as I posted earlier) 67. Sorry about that.

Can't really let a left-arm Bowling Allrounder with the following stats slide for another Round....

Tests = 15
Bowling Average = 26
Bowling Strike Rate = 49
Batting Average = 23
Batting Strike Rate = 68

06. Denis Lindsay 19

Gilmour suffered poor health in the last years of his life. He had a congenital narrowing of the main artery to the liver and in 2005 he underwent a liver transplant. He suffered ill-health for many years which was exacerbated by a fall. He died at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney on 10 June 2014.

"He was at the front of the queue when they were handing out talent, but unfortunately he was right at the back of the queue when they handed out health and good luck," said his captain Ian Chappell.

Didn't realise that Gilmour had passed away only a couple of years ago. Another one of cricket's 'might have beens' due to injury.

Since morgieb has now timed out, I guess all previous picks stand.
