CW50 Draft

Conrad Hunte

Found that middle order batsmen got over sooner in this draft than openers. Generally it is other way round. So I filled my openers early, and now regretting that decision.

 

[Pothas]

Bishan Bedi.

If Howe_zat doesn't show up until his pick in round 11, does he again get 12 hours?

 

[weldone]

No he gets skipped

 

[Pratters]

Found that middle order batsmen got over sooner in this draft than openers. Generally it is other way round. So I filled my openers early, and now regretting that decision.

I know! I thought the limitation of not being able to pick every one under the sun made this thing very interesting.

 

[Pratters]

I will have Daryll Cullinan.

 

[Cabinet96]

Damien Martyn and Ryan Harris

1. Alastair Cook
2. Virender Sehwag
3. VVS Laxman
4. Ken Barrington
5. Michael Clarke*
6. Damien Martyn
7. AB de Villiers +
8. Curtly Ambrose
9. Graeme Swann
10. Ryan Harris
11. Michael Holding

Can I use my spare 17 points to give AB a sturdier back or Ryan Harris a second knee?

 

[Saint Kopite]

SHANE BOND

​

 

[watson]

01. Bill Woodfull *
02. Eddie Barlow 6
03. Donald Bradman
04. Peter May
05. Ted Dexter 5
06. Clive Lloyd
07. Denis Lindsay +
08. Alan Davidson 3
09. Wes Hall 2
10. John Snow 1
11. Subhash Gupte 4


Short attacking spells by Snow and Hall, with Davidson, then Dexter and Barlow to keep the pressure on between times. "Fergie" Gupte's legspin the perfect foil when the pitch starts to turn a bit.

Ted Dexter - 66 wickets at 35 (ER 2.6)
Eddie Barlow - 40 wickets at 34 (ER 2.7)

 

[Saint Kopite]

The Final Team:-

01. Barry Richards.
02. Matthew Hayden.
03. Neil Harvey.
04. Martin Crowe.
05. David Gower.
06. Garry Sobers. (*)
07. Ian Healy. (+)
08. Hedley Verity.
09. Frank Tyson.
10. Shane Bond.
11. Neil Adcock.

 

[watson]

Really nice team Cabinet (!), but Ambrose should be at 11 as Swann, Harris, and Holding are all better batsman. Swann and Harris significantly so.

Damien Martyn and Ryan Harris

1. Alastair Cook
2. Virender Sehwag
3. VVS Laxman
4. Ken Barrington
5. Michael Clarke*
6. Damien Martyn
7. AB de Villiers +
8. Curtly Ambrose
9. Graeme Swann
10. Ryan Harris
11. Michael Holding

Can I use my spare 17 points to give AB a sturdier back or Ryan Harris a second knee?
