Me too.

 

[The Argonaut]

Thanks guys for the offers of help but I should be OK.

I've only had 3 lists of draft selections so far. If I don't receive them by the end of the day then random selections will be made. (The deadline was yesterday).

The Border XI has been taken by nathan.

 

[funky miller]

Did you get mine?

 

[The Argonaut]

Yes I have yours, Timbo's and cometer's.

Rounds 1 and 2 of the draft have been run. The Botham XI, Pollock XI and Imran Khan XI managers did not submit lists so I have picked a bowler and a batsman for each side. I will email the revised draft list and squads shortly. The deadline for the rounds 3 and 4 selections will be Monday afternoon (Brisbane time). 3 days from now.

Round 1

Sobers XI - C Willoughby
Bradman XI - S Mahesh
Flower XI - A Adams
Border XI - A McGrath
Gavaskar XI - C Evans
Hadlee XI - E Smith
Ranatunga XI - H Fogden
Botham XI - P Worthington
Pollock XI - P Collingwood
Imran Khan XI - A Singh

Round 2
Border XI - D Thornely
Flower XI - B Dale
Bradman XI - J Lewis
Sobers XI - D Viljoen
Imran Khan XI - T Cleef
Pollock XI - C Lewis
Botham XI - J Hewitt
Ranatunga XI - R Morris
Hadlee XI - C Dagnall
Gavaskar XI - M Smethurst

Rounds 3 and 4 of the draft results are:

Round 3

Botham XI - V Solanki
Border XI - A Mullally
Flower XI - D Nash
Bradman XI - A Haniff
Sobers XI - C Vaas
Imran Khan XI - D Ganga
Pollock XI - H Bashar
Ranatunga XI - U Jenkins
Hadlee XI - R Sidebottom
Gavaskar XI - D Cherry

Round 4

Sobers XI - M North
Bradman XI - N Carter
Flower XI - B Williams
Border XI - C Stuart
Botham XI - V Prasad
Pollock XI - G Denton
Imran Khan XI - T Nawab
Gavaskar XI - D Mohammed
Hadlee XI - D Hemp
ranatunga XI - N Carolyne

Again there were some that did not get their picks and one who did not give me enough players.

The request to change Froggett for Hewitt from the Botham XI manager has been granted as Froggett was not requested by any manager during rounds 3 and 4.

The final squads are in the attachment. The first game will be played this weekend. Please lodge teams in the nominated thread in the team posting area above.

Border XI was lucky enough to pick up Chandresakhar


and Pollock XI managed to get Pandit


hopefully both perform well, because both have great stats.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Gavaskar XI - D Mohammed

Auckland has approached the Gavaskar XI to become affiliated with the club. As an associate member, Auckland would allow the players to train and get drunk with its members. Viva Dave Mohammed.

 

[gibbsnsmith]

hmm, the reason i didnt pick was probably because i never received the email....

 

[cometer]

Yeh one question about the posting of teams do we get to choose a bowling list for the whole season or do you just want the team for the week.

 

[The Argonaut]

Just the team will be fine.

 

[Timbo]

Hey that final squad list is missing M.North who I got in round 4 of the draft, so did I get him or what?

 

[The Argonaut]

Yes you've got him. Sorry about the omission.

 

[Cloete]

hey jase would we be able to see a list of all the new players added (if there are any) and what their averages are? e.g Marcus North hasn't been in WCC before i think.

if it's too much trouble then don't worry as it aint too important i guess.

 

[The Argonaut]

There have been no new players added for this season. M North has always been in the comp. Some real life academy players have had their stats tweaked where their real life stats are better but that is all. It is too tricky for me to get the averages in a suitable format to attach here.
