Random country draft

[G.I.Joe]

Would have been the second greatest or even the greatest batsman of all time ,had his career not been interrupted fo 110 years due to a world war.Still even after a hiatus is a contender to be England's best batsmen of all time with a average of 57-

Sir Leonard Hutton


Really tough this english round. Needed a opener so the choice became a lot easier.Surprised though Sutcliffe was picked ahead of him.

History not your strongest suit, I see.

Oh FFS! Only good thing is I'm a dead certainty for Marshall now.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Really need to get some batsmen in. The only Pakistani batsman I'd consider all-time line-up worthy is Miandad, but I refuse to pick him on grounds of him being terrorist sympathising scum. So, Waqar Younis it is.

Stewie Dempster (65.72)

Kumar Sangakkara (55.10)

MS Dhoni (42.59, 113c, 20st) +

[Matt79]

Yeah, last in round 7, first in round 8, it's a glass half-full/empty kinda thing.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Oh FFS! Only good thing is I'm a dead certainty for Marshall now.

Somerset probably delighted to hear that

 

[Zinzan]

Woulda preferred third last in 8 & third in 7th myself; Windies well of quicks rather deeper than Pakistan's.

 

[Somerset]

Somerset probably delighted to hear that

Haha, no kidding.

 

[Himannv]

Inzamam-ul-Haq

 

[honestbharani]

gimme Mushtaq Mohammed or Mohammed Asif, based on who Cevno picks. IN that order.
