Draft thread:XI's total sum of test batting averages no great than 250 runs(flexible)

I'll finish my XI too since Slifer has slightly less than what my pick costs. Great early Era Aussie all rounder George Giffen for 23.55.

Great pick in this draft. I would have taken him if i'd thought of him. Was a genuine top order batsman and very handy bowler.

Yeah, I wanted someone who was a genuine batsman instead of a more bits and pieces player. Makes the batting depth look a lot better.

Some very surprising non picks in this draft : Andrew Flintoff, CK Nayudu, Pelham Warner, Warwick Armstrong, Archie Maclaren, Salim Durani. I seriously considered all of them at some point and felt some teams here would've benefited a lot from having them in the lineup.

Yeah I was debating whether to go 3 30ish players or 50ish and a real cheapy. Decent names you've mentioned for teams that went the mid tier bat route

Add Lance Gibbs to that list.

Add Lance Gibbs to that list.

Yeah but there's a surplus of bowlers here so that's atleast understandable.

Also, no one picked Maurice Tate. What.

At a batting average of 25... starts becoming to expensive for a fast baller in this draft even at 7... I wanted Peter Pollock at 21 (who did not get picked) but messed my counting up...
