Ascending Test HS Draft

[Line and Length]

@ankitj < 90 minutes to go then @AndrewB is up

 

[ankitj]

David Malan (140)

 

[Line and Length]

@AndrewB then @Teuton @ ankitj and @Line and Length all up together.

 

[ankitj]

Wasim Akram (257)

 

[Line and Length]

I think @AndrewB was up before @ankitj If not I'll go with J.R. Reid (142).

 

[kingkallis]

Wasim Akram (257)

Not yet. Let @AndrewB pick first and then you and other 2 can pick.

 

[Teuton]

Yes, only @AndrewB is up. The others will need to re-pick afterwards.

 

[Line and Length]

This is as I thought. Unless AndrewB picks Reid I will stick with my selection - if that is acceptable..

 

[Teuton]

@Line and Length do you concede Akram?
AndrewB (or i) can't pick him as we don't yet have 7 players. If you were considering him he would go back on the table and whoever picks first after ankitj would claim him.
If not he can be locked in as R8 for @ankitj.
Reid is still subject to @AndrewB. I have my eye on another so am fine with it.

 

[Line and Length]

I concede Akram.

 

[AndrewB]

Stanley Jackson (144)

 

[Line and Length]

Confirming Reid (142).

@Teuton now up then @srbhkshk followed by me,

 

[srbhkshk]

Teuton will take Rishabh Pant (159), I'll pick in a short while.

 

[srbhkshk]

I'll take Simon Katich (157) with a somewhat curious glance towards HB.

[Line and Length]

I'll take Colin Bland (144) for my 10th selection.

I am now up, together with @AndrewB , and I'll take Don Bradman (no surprises)

Jack Fingleton /
Raman Subba Row /
Don Bradman (c) /
Archie MacLaren /
Colin Bland /
John R. Reid /o
Alan Knott (wk) /
Derek Underwood o
Frank Tyson o
Bob Willis o
Colin Croft o

I may have sacrificed some depth to obtain the Don but I was pleasantly surprised when looking into some of the lesser light batsmen. Subba Row (ave 46.9) scored 3 centuries in just 13 Tests before retiring at just 29. I was after Bland for his fielding but his batting (ave 49.1) makes him a valuable addition.
The bowlers are proven performers and Knott has plenty of experience keeping to Underwood.

Good effort. I thought you'd go for the Don. You missed Mark Richardson (145) who would've strengthened your side.

 

[Teuton]

I reckon Bradman was yours the moment you picked Fingleton/Subba. It was clear nothing would get in the way. If only you picked Warne instead of Underwood....
