In Your Place Draft

[watson]

Choosing Ian Healy for R10 and Hedley Verity for R11 since everyone else has a No.9 player.


01. Gordon Greenidge
02. Eddie Barlow
03. Kumar Sangakkara
04. Graeme Pollock
05. Michael Clarke *
06. Tony Greig
07. Ian Healy +
08. Richard Hadlee
09. Hedley Verity
10. Allan Donald
11. Neil Adcock


Reasonably happy with this team. Two very fast and aggressive South African quicks to open the bowling, then Hadlee and Verity to clean-up afterwards with their nagging accuracy and variety. Greig, Barlow, and Clarke are all useful back-up bowlers.

The openers are both aggressive and dependable, and followed by 3 batsman capable of scoring enormous hundreds. Greig through to Verity are all skillfull enough to lend good support to the top 5.

With Clarke, Healy, Greig and Barlow running the show this team should be energetic and competitive, and win more than they lose.

[The Battlers Prince]

Aldo has timed out. Everyone except OS can make their final selection now from the looks of things.
Once you're side is in their positions, post them here with your captain and wicket keeper indicated.
Looks pretty good drafting by all so far

Zinzan needs to wait for Redhill as they both need a No.10.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Ok, I'm taking Hugh Trumble at 8. I wanted a quicker spinner to partner Grimmett, that should go well I think.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Aldo timed out ages ago and I'm assuming I can make my pick now since no one else needs a number 11.

don't expect to win, too many players who played too few tests, but it's a class line-up. I got way too invested in the idea of having no weak players like Hasan Tilakaratne :S rather than having heaps of ATG players.
