Don't worry, he might decide against taking Marvan Attapattu for some inexplicable reason

Tad harsh on my NZ side isn't it

You may be lucky enough for Peter Ingram or Tim McIntosh to still be available when your turn rolls around

Haha, sorry. But I'm pretty sure any NZ pick #9 will punch above his weight and contribute to the side

 

[Matt79]

ffs, was hoping somehow you wouldn't take Sangakkara....

 

[Matt79]

Mahela Jayawardene. 9000+ runs @ 53 does it for me, with 27 centuries over 12 years does it for me.

 

[honestbharani]

First choice - Aravinda De Silva

If taken by Blakus, plz gimme Sanath Jayasuriya.

 

[Blakus]

Aravinda De Silva

 

[Cevno]

Hb then gets Sanath Jayasuriya,i guess.

Somerset should be up next.

 

[Somerset]

Thilan Samaraweera

 

[Himannv]

Chaminda Vaas

[Himannv]

Quite curious to see which country will be next.

 

[99*]

Quite curious to see which country will be next.

Please be Australia, please be Australia, please be Australia. PLEASE BE AUSTRALIA!

 

[G.I.Joe]

Wouldn'r mind Australia, actually. There's enough talent there for the #10 pick to be a great one too, and 99*'s team will just get marked down at the end for the unfair advantage of Bradman anyway :P

Kinda agree, actually. I got to chose first in the final, extra round of the families draft so felt obliged to go for Sir Donald when other players would've probably been better for my balance.

I'd probably do the same again, having said, that as I wouldn't want to be the man who passed on The Beatles, as it were, but having my hand forced wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Made up I got first pick with SL tho; stone wall no-brainer and all.

 

[Himannv]

Personally prefer New Zealand for the next round as I'll be closer to the top

 

[honestbharani]

Isn't the 12 hours over yet?

 

[G.I.Joe]

Isn't the 12 hours over yet?

Zinzan made his pick just 3.5 hours ago.
