an idea: a draft of non-cricketers

[Red]

Bam Bam, from the Flinstones. A clubbing left handed opener in the mould of Warner and Gilchrist.

 

[Red]

01. W& Grace (grand old man of bad sitcoms)
02. Bam Bam Rubble (brutally powerful left hand opener)
03. Jeanne Richardson (Chappell) (strong bloodlines as a number 3 batsman, gutsy as)
04.
05. Errol Flynn (all rounder, opening bowler and swashbuckling bat)
06.
07.
08.
09.
10. John Winston Howard (cannier than he looks and acts, spin merchant)
11. Satan (fiery express pace bowler with demonic stares)

OK, all sides need a guy with the gloves who loves pushing the boundaries of what is legal or not. So I'm gonna get the #1 sportsman (that I know of) of that calibre - Richie McCaw.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Some good choices coming through, my 2 favourite picks of this round so far are Bam Bam and Boycott's grandma. This daft is coming up great.

How close are we to finishing this round off?

Knowing dogs, probably out handling the ball (with ample slobber) first ball. Awesome fielder though. Not many boundaries will be scored in his quarter.

I'm just having memories of playing at 11 with my dog covering the off side. As a bowler, you'd want to retch when you touched that slimy ball, post mouthing.

Wouldn't that be ball tampering?

 

[Victor Ian]

Wouldn't that be ball tampering?

My mate and I were desperate for fielders, so we gave the dog a long leash.

[Burgey]

Round six - JOhn Daly. For the lulz

 

[OverratedSanity]

Paul the Octopus will be my wicketkeeper.

 

[Zinzan]

Pffft, an inspector gadget pretender ^

 

[OverratedSanity]

Gadget doesn't have a divination career behind him. Paul will take anticipation on the cricket field to the next level.

 

[Daemon]

More like match fixing

 

[Camo999]

I'll go for a 1980s style Cyberman because their hands look suspiciously like cricket gloves.
