Losers Draft

[honestbharani]

Just seems so odd when I see a batting line up with consecutive left handers... I know it is no big deal and we never feel that way when it is 3 right handers but it just looks ​weird...

Remember your final total must be -1 or less (more losses than wins).

 

[honestbharani]

Since my picks wont interfere with Harsh's, I am going to pick George Lohmann (+12) to round off an awesome side.



Honest Hunks



Roy Fredricks (8)
Vinoo Mankad (6)
Wally Hammond (7) (c)
Patsy Hendren
Mominul Haque
Alec Stewart (wk)
Asif Iqbal (5)
Kapil Dev (4)
Jack Ferris (2)
Fred Spofforth (3)
George Lohmann (1)




And harsh, pick a batsman. Andy Flower kept enough in tests to play as the specialist keeper IMO.

 

[honestbharani]

Sorry, I meant go for any of the 3 options and keep Andy Flower as the keeper. If it was me, I will pick the spin allrounder for 7.

 

[harsh.ag]

Steve Smith +7

The Breakfast Club

Herbert Sutcliffe
Glenn Turner
Everton Weekes
Frank Worrell (c)
Steve Smith
Herbie Taylor
Andy Flower (wk)
Erapalli Prasanna
Joel Garner
Allan Donald
Jack Cowie

Frank Worrell assigned fifth bowling duties. TPC too on spin friendly wickets.
