[Line and Length]

B****er - one pick off getting Underwood myself.
Nathan Lyon 12.27

 

[kingkallis]

Richie Benaud (24.4)

 

[Teuton]

Wasim Akram (22.64)

 

[Teuton]

Ataraxia up now I believe

 

[StephenZA]

Ataraxia up now I believe

Yes....F5,F5,F5...

 

[ankitj]

Haha, imagine picking a genuine number #11 like Murali and then waiting for some 25 players to get picked before you get your turn.

I noticed first time during this draft how many players had lower batting average than Walsh. And Murali is practically an all-rounder

 

[Jarquis]

I don?t think I?ve ever known so early in a draft that I?m not winning...

I was thinking the same. I had no idea Waqar had lower average than Donald, and Rabada lower than Murali. I always thought Donald and Murali are proper bunnies with the bat, while Waqar and Rabada are somewhat handy.

Gotta make some sick moves with your batting

You are absolutely right. I was surprised and happy to pick Rabada as my number 9.

haha! We have so many options in the tests so that wont be necessary.
