Ashes Draft

[Jarquis]

Harvey's been taken.

 

[Howe_zat]

Right, right. Read the thread. OK. King Kallis, then double pick for zinzan.

 

[Himannv]

Whats the next series?

 

[kingkallis]

Dexter

Give me some time now.

 

[Blakus]

Well after much consideration I've decided on the 1954/55 ashes. As much as it pains me to leave Lakers' 1956 series out, there's just a greater selection of players from the 54/55 series. That's the only reason though, as I think both series are equal in terms historical importance.

For Round 6 we have the 1954/55 ashes.

 

[Zinzan]

[Himannv]

Placed in a good position for this upcoming round so I can hopefully snare my first bowler.

 

[kingkallis]

My pick for Round 5 is the Aussie keeper Wally Grout. Rated pretty high by Sir Donald Bradman, Bob Simpson, Richie Benaud, Wes Hall and others.

[Shri]

Stalker

Someone has to do what is necessary to speed things up!

 

[Joao]

I'll give you Healy for Mcgrath. Then you could have a full commentary team going

No deal!

I'd rather sacrifice my first born than listen to Healy talk. Such a tool.

Notice you didn't put Wally's batting numbers in...wonder why...

 

[Zinzan]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yeah, was tossing up between Hutton, Compton & Miller, not that much between the 3 of them tbh

 

[kingkallis]

I agree and I was expecting you to miss the turn. I knew you would pick Miller
