Grand Slam Draft Tournament

[Howe_zat]

Just on this, Reggie Schwarz was pretty much exactly that, tbf.

Arguably the greatest leggie England has ever produced, in fact. Albeit one who played test cricket for RSA.

Something odd has happened. I convinced myself Reggie Schwarz was a fast bowler for RSA in the 90s. I have just googled a few similar names in the hope to find who I was thinking of to no avail.

I have no explanation.

Brett Schultz maybe?

I'll defer to AndrewB and let him pick the criteria

 

[NUFAN]

Wow. Such a close game, BB very unlucky. Pretty sure if another set of voters voted, Brumbys team would prevail.

 

[Howe_zat]

Oh. Feel a bit bad itbt. Especially since NUFAN keeps hassling me for stats.

 

[honestbharani]

How many times has he hassed you for stats though? And how many times were it stats involving the number 4?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Fair play to Noofers. Was a pretty close shout between the two teams.

I'll be honest and say I thought I probably had the edge in the batting and the seam up departments, but he undeniably had a better spin attack.

Will be watching the semis with interest.

Good game and good luck to Andrew for the semis.

 

[AndrewB]

I'll defer to AndrewB and let him pick the criteria

Well, there was the "played for Yorkshire" draft earlier in the tournament, so let's have a played for Lancashire draft; anyone who's played at least 1 FC game for Lancashire is eligible.

You sure can.

We are playing the Ben Stokes game.

You cannot select anyone who averages above Ben Stokes with the bat, less with the ball or taken more catches and to ensure we dont get old bats, everyone must have debuted 1970 or after. Averages are as per now, so if Stokes is bowling and has 0/3 you cant pick him haha.

All 11 players must fit the criteria below:
Batting - below 36.93
Bowling - above 32.93
Catches - below 68
Debut 1970 or after.
