Ascending batting average draft (tests)

[Fuller Pilch]

No one picked Jadeja either.

Don’t I get to play anymore?

No one picked Jadeja either.

I thought about him but I really needed to focus on the batting.

 

[honestbharani]

If I didn't have Verity I would have picked him... Ideally I wanted a leggie and Jaddu to partner him.

Coronis -> Marcuss then.

Oh come on. You wanted three of Verity, Ashwin, Mushtaq, and Jadeja. Combine those with the naggingly slow pace of Goddard and I feel you want to invest too much in the slower-pace department...

Serves as a nice balance to the all out pace and swing from Marshall Starc and, when fit, Watson.

My bad. You are after Coronis.

Does anyone have an opinion on who should bat higher out of Botham and Gregory?

Botham

 

[mr_mister]

I was leaning toward that and always thought Gregorys test batting average maybe flattered him but he averaged 36 in FC too!

They were actually similar test players in that their first half of their careers were far better than their second but Gregory on a way snaller scale

 

[trundler]

Gregory still has the fastest hundred in terms of minutes. Just couldn't get somebody with 2 test centuries to bat 6.

NZ - Chris Martin , Adam Parore , Daniel Vettori
India - Ishant Sharma , Harbhajan Singh
SA - Makhaya Ntini , Morne Morkel , Mark Boucher
Eng - Brian Statham , Stuart Broad , Mark Butcher , Johnny Bairstow , Mike Gatting , Alan Lamb

[srbhkshk]

The 4 misses from Australia is a fine bowling attack in itself!

 

[mr_mister]

Statham definitely worth being picked really

 

[trundler]

Gets interesting once we're past all rounders.

 

[honestbharani]

Who is next?

 

[ankitj]

Coronis --> Marcuss

 

[trundler]

Who is next?

Only Ryback can tell you that.

Coronis > Marcuss

 

[mr_mister]

I believe that was Goldberg's line
