Clause-Mystery-Choice Draft Thread 2014

Oops... Okay... She smiled and asked me if I wanted to come up for coffee. I said no, dropped her off, and drove back alone. Ten minutes later, once back in my dorm, I wondered if I missed out on something. I have spent the next 16 years rewriting the scene again and again.

I can live with a wrong pick in a forum draft.
Oh that's so sad!

Both opening partnerships sorted. The one at the top is a bit too attacking, maybe. :D Some nice pace up front for the bowlers.

Btw, Khan Mohammad seems to have been a really good bowler, in case anyone was wondering.

Didn't realise that he was Fazal's new ball partner;

Fazal Mahmood, Mohammad's new-ball partner in those early days, was the blue-eyed, impossibly debonair star, but Mohammad was a compelling foil. At his peak, players from the era even suggest that he was the more difficult to handle.

Certainly, he was a different proposition. Well-built, with a high-stepping approach, Mohammad was swifter but not really express. That most of his victims were bowled or leg-before was a reflection more of his accuracy than pace. His stock ball was one that came in, though he complemented it with clever changes of pace and some natural, uncomfortable lift.
