Ascending batting average draft (tests)

Chris Cairns (33.53) (he averaged 10 runs more than at no 7)
Anyway 33.53 is 0.01 less than Botham, so I pick before mr mr!

Dammit. I think i should have gone Dev instead of Botham in hindsight

Never know how people will vote for a side with Botham in it as a frontline bowler

Yup. With only HB left to complete his pack of 4 main bowlers, fuller pilch and Pothas have the best bowling attacks.

I’m surprised by how many people have gone for wicketkeepers with a mediocre batting average.
17 drafters is a lot. Trying to aim for a certain player and missing is risky and honestly after Knott (as in higher batting average) there's not many good full time keepers left

There are still a handfull of top 'keeper/batsmen available but too many might be fighting over them. I'll take Alec Stewart (39.54) and cover opener/'keeper with one pick.
