Ashes Draft
- Thread starter Blakus
- Start date
Percy McDonnell. For round 11
and
John Snow For round 12
Which doesn't bode well for Hogg and also leaves me doomed if we play on the subcontinent or at old school SCG - unless you count Giffen as a spinner. Love the pace attack though.
1. H Sutcliffe
2. W Lawry
3. M Slater
4. I Chappell (c)
5. P McDonnell
6. C Kellaway
7. G Giffin
8. J Kelly (+)
9. J Snow
10. A Bedser
11. G McGrath
12th Man R Hogg
Wish I could swap Kellaway for a certain current gun Australian All-Rounder.

Blakus
State Vice-Captain
Indeed, he's available.
Blakus
State Vice-Captain
Agree. The main four bowlers are devastating. And then you have Woolley and Walters to back them up!

Can't avoid picking Jim Laker here - if the pitch gives the spinners any help with my two Fred's Fertangs will beat anyone - they don't appear to bat all that deep but all but Lawson have recorded at least two First Class centuries and even Henry has eight 50's to his name.

Jack Ryder 1400 runs @ 51.62
Dean Jones 3631 runs @ 46.88
Mark Waugh 8000 runs @ 41.81
Les Ames (W.K) 2400 runs @ 40.56 & 74 catches, 23 stumpings
Keith Miller (RF)2968 runs @ 36.97 & 170 wickets @ 22.97
Albert Trott (RS) 228 runs @ 228 runs @ 38.00 & 26 wickets @ 15.00
Ian Botham (RFM) 5200 runs @ 33.54 & 383 wickets @ 28.40
George Ulyett (RF) 949 runs @ 24.33 & 50 wickets @ 20.40
Jason Gillespie (RF) 1218 runs @ 18.73 & 259 wickets @ 26.13

12th Man: (for now) Max Walker (RFM) 586 runs @ 19.53 & 138 wickets @ 27.47
Relatively happy with my side in the end....
Strengths:
Incredible batting depth with Botham coming in at 8
Four express bowlers in Lockwood, Miller, Ulyett & Gillespie & 6 Bowlers in all
Two best English/Australian All-rounders of all time
Weaknesses:
Doesn't have a bowling attack like Himannv's
Doesn't have the top order batting strength of Blakus
