CW Draft League

[watson]

Shane Warne.

Interesting first choice Monk. Fast bowlers or 'Gold Tier' batsman are normally selected first as a matter of convention.

 

[Blakus]

Muralitharan

 

[Eds]

Aw ****ing Blakus. Both gone before it even gets to my pick, what're the chances?

I've thought about two other 'minority' picks, but in the end I'll go for the best opener ever. Will do me.

There must be a disturbance in The Force

Decided I'm just going to select players I've loved watching or would love to have watched. Warne has been that, the magician!

Make him Captain?

I think that he would be tactically brilliant.

 

[kyear2]

One of Wisdens five cricketers of the century and of one of probably only six gold tier spinners. Add to that you also get one of your slip fielders. Great pick.

watson taking Procter first round

I remember at the start of the first season we were discussing whether some players would emerge from the shadows and become more appreciated by CWers. Procter was 35th pick (late R3) that season and now he's a first round pick - great to see

It was more to do with how I generally tend to take a bowler first up but yes, probably

There's also a whole miriad of keepers that I'd love to pick but haven't been able to yet because they aren't quite good enough to bat at No.7. Procter's a good No.7.

Glenn Mcgrath

I assume it is Cevno's pick then mine again?

 

[Jager]

Your double pick kyear.

Cevno's having fun in the other Draft, picking SF Barnes, and counting down from 150 which sounds a lot but isn't.

I think we're just going with an eleven man draft unless TBY comes back and feels like catching up, so you're up again.

 

[kingkallis]

11 is fine,I guess!
