Orderly Test Draft Voting

Line and Length

International Coach
This draft produced 10 impressive XIs that will be hard to split.

I'm not sure how to post a poll, so I'm asking participants and interested observers to vote for their top 3 teams in order.

The teams are:

Himannv (at least 6 ATGs, great side)
Michaelf7 (great all round side but what's white Peter Pollock at #11? He could hold the bat)
Trundler (despite Trumper who I don't rate, I was pursuaded to vote for him because of the great bowling attack)

That was the order in which the quicks were selected. Michael hadn't adjusted his batting order.

1.Jojo
Really great batting line up for each and every kinds of pitches.Bradman+Hobbs ,like that combination.The greatest cricketer of all time with the greatest in bad pitches in the history of the game.Good enough bowling line up.Real good combination, variety. Hall+Johnson that’s scary in any pitch.With Anderson (arguably the greatest in a swinging condition ever )and tayfield and Faulkner as the 5th bowler.Like that.Despite the restrictions picked good enough bowling line up with good variety to win the games with so strong batting line up.Alan knott is a big plus,the greatest wk I ever saw +was a good enough batsman.Really great team in every kinds of pitches.
2.Himannv
Great bowling line up.Mcgrath+Tiger+ Proctor+pollock.Really great bowling line up in every kinds of pitches.
3.Michael
Real good all round team. W.G+headley,Cummins+steyn +imran that’s really a good one.

Why is it so,that you don’t rate trumper?Cardus had him right at the top.Most of those who saw trumper had him real highly .S.f Barnes even said trumper was the one who gave him the most trouble.

Too much myth around some of the old time players. And please don't bore me by regurgitating things you have read here and there. I know he is held in high regard.

Another player whose presence in a draft team immediately makes me mark the team down is Larwood.
