Alphabetical Name Draft

[honestbharani]

Not sure if I will be online after Blakus picks.. Of all the wretched luck, to be 2nd in this round and not in one of the tougher ones is the worst..


My preferences:


1. Everton Weekes

2. Frank Worrell

True!

 

[Joao]

Wonderful.

So Joao, who you gonna pick from TOP 5 from M & Ls?

Dunno yet...might depend on who I get from W and D. Maybe some Australian bits and pieces player or a gentle West Indian seamer...

[Howe_zat]

Also, if we're serious about swapping players, I'd be interested in swapping one of my wicket-keepers for the best fast bowler, allrounder or middle-order batsman on offer.

 

[kingkallis]

WOW - 2 leggies...I thought you'd pick another W

 

[Howe_zat]

Leggies rock. Australia played O' Reilly, Grimmet and Ironmonger in the same XI.

Also, I didn't want anyone else to get him.

I too have Tiger and Intekhab Alam in my team. Intekhab will be the water boy in my team though

I haven't decided yet, but if it were to occur, it would only between players of the same round.

So you couldn't swap Flower for Sobers, for example.

Dont know if I would call O'Reilly a leggie per se. Supposed to have bowled a bit of everything.

 

[Blaze 18]

Penultimate round: D and W

Blakus - Wasim Akram
honestbharani - Everton Weekes
Howe_zat - Shane Warne
Cevno
Michaelf7777
Blaze18
himannv
weldone
Flyonthewall
weeman27bob
Kingkallis
Joao

Cevno's turn to pick.

 

[Howe_zat]

Right, so I won't swap Oldfield as the OQY round was dire (unless Blaze18 wants to swap Younis Khan).

For Flower - my proposed swaps are:

Michaelf7777 - Viv Richards
Blaze18 - Barry Richards
Cevno - Aubrey Faulkner
Flyonthewall - Wilfred Rhodes
Kingkallis - Andrew Flintoff
weldone - KS Ranjitsinhji
Joao - Andy Roberts
honestbharani - Richie Richardson

I'm not expecting Michael or Blaze to take that, but there we are.

A reminder that I'm only swapping him due to ending up with two keepers - Flower is the only keeper with more than a few matches to average over 50 with the bat, and during his peak years (1999-2001) averaged 91.20. He guided Zimbabwe as captain during their only period of success, almost entirely due to his performances.

 

[Cevno]

Tough Choice ,but i am going to pick the best pure bowler available ,rather than a one who gives me batting options . So i Pick -


Waqar Younis
