Jumping the Shark Draft

[Somerset]

Have changed my mind a whole bunch of times (thought of getting rid of Flower for a lesser batsman but better keeper so that the bowling attack and batting line-up wouldn't be affected, as well as swapping McCabe for a specialist opener) but I'll stick with Laker and replace Wilfred Rhodes. With Botham and Procter at numbers 7 and 8 in the order we should have enough batting depth even providing for the loss of Rhodes at number nine, and the bowling looks stronger with a specialist spinner bowler instead of the allround game of Rhodes.

Though if I had known we this was coming up I would've left Donald and selected Laker, then selected Donald and replaced him with Laker in the final XI.

 

[99*]

I pass on the option to swap a player.

Huh?

 

[Somerset]

Huh?

Sorry I was also under the assumption that once we swapped players out they were available for others to pick, that line now doesn't make a lot of sense now when you consider that.

 

[stephen]

Julien is up.

 

[Matt79]

Julien's 12 hours well and truly past. Vines is up, with julien to make his selection whenever he's ready.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Going to chuck out Bob Willis for Tony Greig. I need someone to fill up a few overs and Engineer will have headaches at 6.

 

[Julian87]

Sorry guys. Still undecided as to what I will do. If I haven't decided by the conclusion, it will just stay as is.

 

[chaminda_00]

Staying the same.

I thought about bring in a West Indies quick for Pollock. But they are on par and I rate Pollock's lower order batting. I also thought about bringing a English spinner. But still rather Pollock then the three blokes that came to mind.

[chaminda_00]

Just when your tail was starting to look gun.

 

[stephen]

Me hey. Well I was gonna swap Roberts for Walsh, but now my plans are spoiled.

I'm gonna leave my team as is.

 

[NUFAN]

Looking at my current side Trevor Goddard looks a tiny bit out of place despite his good record.
So I've decided to pick another player who should go well in the sub continent. Mohammed Yousuf

1 Virender Sehwag 2 Herbert Sutcliffe 3 Denis Compton 4 Sachin Tendulkar 5 Javed Miandad
6 Mohammad Yousuf 7 Les Ames 8 Kapil Dev 9 Alec Bedser 10 Ian Bishop 11 Bishan Bedi.

 

[Matt79]

[Michaelf7777777]

Eddie Barlow out and Bill Johnston in please

 

[stephen]

Mr Wright is up then we can take it to a poll or a sim to determine the winnah.

 

[Mister Wright]

Happy with my team.

 

[Matt79]

Matt failed to tell us that he doesn't get home until the Afghanistan war is over.
