You should mention 'senior' with 'Nawab of Pataudi' (or mention his full name Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi). Otherwise, it seems like a sneaky tactic to misguide voters who may confuse him with the more well-known Pataudi (even though I believe you aren't doing it intentionally).

Edit: And **** you for picking Wilfred Rhodes

Abdul Razzaq 28.61

I did originally include Sr (when I chose him), so its just got lost somewhere (not deliberate tactic)..... will correct on next iteration.
I would apologise for Rhodes.... but hey I got there first

some solid ***y picks gentlemen

 

[OverratedSanity]

Jack Saunders (2.29). One of Australia's best SLAs for basically nothing is a good deal methinks.

 

[mr_mister]

i'm glad I settled on 250 runs. feels like a good amount for what I was going for, a lot of players being picked who normally don't get a second thought in drafts

[AldoRaine18]

Stan McCabe.

 

[mr_mister]

i mean he's only 5-10 runs cheaper than some absolute ATGs, great as McCabe was I think that's a bad pick

I don't really mind him next to The Don.
