[kingkallis]

Agree. Good choice!

I'll take the lefty spinner Johnny Briggs as my Round 10 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. Johnny Briggs o / ( 809 runs @ 18.81 & 97 wickets @ 20.55 in the Ashes )
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 )

I was tempted to pick a good fast bowler who is unpicked so far but did not want a long tail so took Briggs.

Good thing you have that top order, batting looks a little thin in the lower order.

Hasn't this broken down somewhere?

I can't see that Michael has had his pick so on the basis that the one thing I am certain of is that I am last in this round I shall wait for him to make his selection

Yeah, king_kallis got a bit over excited. So none of the last few picks actually count.

 

[kingkallis]

lol - my bad!

Sorry everybody! We may have to start again from Micheal's turn

 

[Himannv]

Already picked by Micheal in the previous round.

Oh, didn't realize that.

Erm, so do I pick someone else or wait for Micheal to make his pick this round?

EDIT: Just put me down for Syd Gregory if we are continuing.

 

[Himannv]

I think we should probably start again from Micheal's turn.

 

[kingkallis]

Okay!
