Ashes Draft

[kingkallis]

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

I usually divide batsman + batting all-rounders and bowlers + bowling all-rounders. To be honest, Wally has a decent record but he would be playing here only cause of his keeping and not the batting.

Done the research, and wow. Loads of options this time. I've still got any one of four I'd happily take, and two are fast bowlers.

[Zinzan]

Haha, Blakus will be stoked to get Compton on sixth pick

 

[Howe_zat]

And there's still at least two ATG players left in it.

12 hours are up - Joao?

 

[NUFAN]

Arthur Morris

 

[Blakus]

Haha, Blakus will be stoked to get Compton on sixth pick

Couldn't have said it better myself

 

[NUFAN]

Compton averages 42 in Ashes contests, Morris averaged 50

 

[kingkallis]

Compton averages 42 in Ashes contests, Morris averaged 50

Even Harvey and Cowdrey were poor in the Ashes.

 

[NUFAN]

Even Harvey and Cowdrey were poor in the Ashes.

Yeah I must admit I was quite shocked to see Harvey's average under 40 vs England.

I guess we tend to expect some of the good players to average 50, but in reality 40 is a solid average in Australia vs England matches.

 

[Joao]

Sir Alec Bedser.

Hoping for Morris but stoked with Bedser for an 8th pick!

Edited for Howzat. Quite right.

 

[Howe_zat]

Sir Alec Bedser.

Well there go my ATGs anyway. Wasn't expecting much at 10th.

Can't decide between the next two so I'm kind of hoping Marcus does it for me.

 

[Zinzan]

Compton averages 42 in Ashes contests, Morris averaged 50

I'm looking for the strongest overall side personally, as opposed to the best performed in the Ashes

 

[Joao]

I'm looking for the strongest overall side personally, as opposed to the best performed in the Ashes

Well then I'm toast, picking on Ashes records.

 

[NUFAN]

I'm looking for the strongest overall side personally, as opposed to the best performed in the Ashes

Fair enough, I've been looking for some underrated players who played some of their best cricket in Ashes contests.
