Now the long wait....

 

[Himannv]

Denis Compton (Vijay Merchant)

 

[Jarquis]

Well those two picks are quite upsetting.

 

[kingkallis]

I am gonna see them fly away now! Thanks to Jager's updated order..

 

[NUFAN]

Nah, he debuted in 1932. Hobbs retired in 1930.

I actually thought their careers may have overlapped a small amount and I hadn't checked the records but thought it needed to be asked.

Blakus, you need to repick. Hobbs wasn't dismissed by O'Reilly. Good spot NUFAN.

No worries. Reckon these clause drafts are excellent. Love the tactics involved in working out which clause to use and when.

Yeah, I thought O'Reilly might've played in Hobbs last series.

Fascinating to watch, these drafts are.

 

[watson]

Good to hear. So why not join in and see if you can both out-smart the rest of us next time?

[Red]

Are we doing 12 hour picks, or 24 hour picks?

Either way, Jager's nearly timed out.

 

[kingkallis]

12 hours please!

 

[Red]

If it's 12 hrs for selection, as the original rules in season one were, Jager is well and truly timed out. Kyear is next.

 

[watson]

It's 4am in the West Indies, and it will be Michael's bed time in NZ soon. I might have a G & T and chill out.

 

[watson]

Jager times out which is a shame because I was looking forward to seeing who would follow McGrath/Warne. Ponting?

Kyear's go when the sun rises in the West Indies.
