There goes my Hayden's partner.

Gary Kirsten (I almost picked B.Richards to throw a cat among the pigeons but that would mean I still had 2 batsmen to chose with < 508 runs).

 

[Line and Length]

@CricAddict - go for it.

 

[CricAddict]

Aubrey Faulkner, on diminishing wickets, to play at number 7 as my all-rounder. Faulkner's leg-spin can complement Verity's left-arm spin.

Well, now I realise I should have picked Faulkner in the last round. Oh well, Barry Richards it is.

Len Hutton
Barry Richards
George Headley

To be clear, now your 11th pick must be on diminishing runs, correct?

 

[Pothas]

Well that was always going to happen. Brutal that it was the exact turn before me though

I can't possibly pick a bowler so guess I will have to make do with

Bruce Mitchell

 

[CricAddict]

Yes that is right. All my other picks will have to be on diminishing runs only from now on as it will be for the top 6.

Yes I noticed it after posting Round 7. That was hard luck. But Mitchell is a great pick too.

@Pothas

That's a terrific batting line-up.

Let's make 11th round free for all

 

[CricAddict]

Let's make 11th round free for all

Yes, that's the idea. Forgot to say that. 11th round will be free for all.

 

[shortpitched713]

So, anyone can pick from the moment that the last pick of the 10th round is made, correct?

Yes, that is right.

 

[ankitj]

Yes, that is right.

It helps to have a kickoff time at an hour where everyone can be expected to be not sleeping. Morning GMT works.
