That is some middle order

 

[capt_Luffy]

That is some middle order

Yeah, but L&L going for Bedser and Mankad really disrupted my bowling plans..... Don't think Lindwall, Miller, Johnston and Wardle, with Worrell and Compton as support is a bad bowling attack though.

 

[Line and Length]

Had a great deal of difficulty with my batting line-up with 5 batsmen who traditionally occupied either 3 or 4. I could have opened with one (Hassett) but Mankad performed best with the bat as an opener.

Vijay Merchant (1911)
Vinoo Mankad (1917)
Don Bradman (1908)
George Headley (1909)
Dudley Nourse (1910)
Lindsay Hassett (1913)
Vijay Hazare (1915)
Don Tallon (1916)
Alec Bedser (1918)
Jack Cowie (1912)
Ernie Toshack (1914)

Great team L&L, but you can't pick Cowie though, there's a 10 Test minimum criteria

 

[sayon basak]

This draft can be closed here.

Not really.

Ooops. I forgot that clause.
I could either re-shuffle my entire team or opt for another 1912 player. I'll go for the latter and pick a player who Jack Figleton rated amongst the best medium-paced bowlers he ever saw. I confess I knew little (or nothing) about him but I'll select Arthur "Chud" Langton who played 15 Tests for South Africa.

I forgot about Lillee pick

 

[Zinzan]

and damn @Himannv basically choosing the exact same 10 year period as me which means we'll likely cancel each other out

@honestbharani

 

[CricAddict]

@Zinzan this draft is going much faster than usual. You can post the Round 5 and 6 order now itself removing the guys who've already picked full side.
