That's some top order you have there.

That's some top order you have there.

I hope to get 1-2 good bowling all rounders ( including another spinner ) now and I will be through!

 

[Teja.]

Ranji!

 

[kingkallis]

Shri to pick!

 

[kingkallis]

Joao and Kingkallis up.

Randomised order for next round #9, reversed for #10:

1. Fredfertang
2. Himannv
3. Teja
4. Shri
5. Kingkallis
6. Michaelf777
7. Marcuss
8. Blakus
9. Zinzan12
10. Joao
11. Howe_zat
12. Nufan

(I'm OK if you want to veto and do it yourself Blakus, I'm just keeping the game moving.)

So who you are eying? The great fast bowler or the finest batter of last decade?

Can't argue with the RNG, cheeky. Would probably like to be nearer the middle, going last in these early days means picking people no-one's heard of.

 

[kingkallis]

No, I was talking about the NEXT round, sir!

 

[Howe_zat]

Eh, take your crazy fixing theories and go talk to Ijaz Butt.

12 hours gone for Shri.

Nah, difference between 6th and 11th < difference between 1st and 6th IMO

 

[kingkallis]

I'll take Monty Noble as my Round 9 pick.

CricDraft XI so far :

1. Matthew Hayden / ( 1461 runs @ 58.93 in the Ashes )
2. Len Hutton / ( 2448 runs @ 56.46 in the Ashes )
3. John Edrich / ( 2644 runs @ 48.96 in the Ashes )
4. Wally Hammond / o ( 2852 runs @ 51.85 & 36 wickets @ 44.77 in the Ashes )
5.
6. Monty Noble / o ( 1905 runs @ 30.72 & 115 wickets @ 24.86 in the Ashes )
7.
8. Wally Grout ( + ) ( 69 catches and 7 stumps in the Ashes )
9. Arthur Mailley o ( 86 wickets @ 34.12 in the Ashes )
10. Craig McDermott o ( 84 wickets @ 26.30 in the Ashes )
11. Bob Willis o ( 128 wickets @ 26.14 in the Ashes )

Did consider 2 Poms and 1 Aussie batsman but Noble looked the best in this already strong batting line up cause of his all round abilities.

Blakus, I'm at school atm, any chance you could hold off 2 hours after my 12 hours are up? Or could somebody link to players involved?
