Random country draft

[Matt79]

Bill O'Reilly for me. With Murali and Warne gone, he's IMO undisputably the best spinner left in the entire draft.

Team so far:
Jayawardene
Kapil Dev
O'Reilly
Donald

 

[Matt79]

Just Joe and Brumby to go in this round now.

[Magrat Garlick]

Cevno - Mick Lewis

Kind to eventual reserves, you are...

 

[Himannv]

Once it kicked off, this round finished fairly quick I reckon.

Looking forward to New Zealand now and hope I'm closer to the top

 

[BoyBrumby]

Alan Davidson

Arguably the best leftie seamer of all time (give or take the odd Wasim) and a solid #8.

Think first pick with SL/last pick from Oz the way to go, tbh.

1) SM Gavaskar RHB (10122 runs @ 51.12)
2) EJ Barlow RHB; RMF (2516 runs @ 45.74; 40 wickets @ 34.05)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8) AK Davidson LFM; LHB (186 wickets @ 20.53; 1328 runs @ 24.59)
9)
10)
11) M Muralitharan OS; RHB (792 wickets @ 22.71; 1256 runs @ 11.62)

At CW, we play tough.

 

[Cevno]

Sorry guys for the delay,was without internet connection for a couple of days.

Will go for Greg Chappell as my Aussie Pick.

And Marvan Attapatu as my Srilanka pick.Surprised Dilshan and specially tillakratane were picked ahead of him

 

[Himannv]

Think first pick with SL/last pick from Oz the way to go, tbh.

Agree. Plenty of Aussies to still choose from I reckon.

When the Allrounders are this good, you can never have to many

 

[Matt79]

That's a nice lower middle order you're compiling there...

 

[Himannv]

Oh no lol.. Have to say I'm far too low down the pecking orders for countries like New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Can only hope that it isn't England next round. Pakistan or West Indies ftw!!

 

[Somerset]

Suppose it could've been worse had I been positioned further down the order for New Zealand players, but these middle order picks are a bit frustrating!

 

[Matt79]

Tell me about it. A #3 pick, for SL!, is the best I've managed for myself so far!

 

[Himannv]

Suppose it could've been worse had I been positioned further down the order for New Zealand players, but these middle order picks are a bit frustrating!

Well, join the frustrated club then

 

[99*]

Urgh. Guess it's not the worst thing to happen. England next would be gun imo.

 

[Himannv]

Not for me. England have loads of options and I can get the players I want even if I'm at the middle somewhere for the England pick. Thats not the case with Pakistan for instance where having the first pick would let me shape the side the way I want to.

 

[99*]

Well I wouldn't complain if Pakistan was next either. Getting a bowler ftw.

 

[honestbharani]

So torn but going with Martin Crowe!!!
