Reverse Alphabetic Draft

I was planning to pick another bowler before all the comments, FWIW.
I mean, if I picked two more batsmen I'd have Procter and Knott batting at 8 and 9, which just seems ridiculous.

I had you down to pick another bowler in my spreadsheet. You will have a ton of bowling options now.

Ataraxia has 2h

 

[kingkallis]

You just broke trundler.

Barnes is the FAST bowler trundler was talking about?

 

[kingkallis]

Michael Clarke

You are gunning for the premium A bowler. Aren't you?

 

[ankitj]

You are gunning for the premium A bowler. Aren't you?

Pothas doesn't have a wicket keeper

 

[stephen]

Barnes is the FAST bowler trundler was talking about?

One of the two remaining but trundler won't get the A bowler because weldone will get him.

 

[kingkallis]

Alan Border if he is available

I have ATG openers in Sutcliffe & Richards. Stunning middle order of Walcott, Kanhai, Border. One of the finest gloveman, Dhoni will make sure that no edges or stumping opportunities are missed. And the bowling attack looks good as well.

Glenn McGrath (RFM)
Micheal Holding (RF)
Harold Larwood (RF)
Clarrie Grimmett (LS)

Overall, I am pretty happy with this team.

 

[stephen]

It's a great team

 

[ataraxia]

Martin Crowe

 

[ankitj]

Border was so important for my team

 

[kingkallis]

Border was so important for my team

I had my eyes on either Border or Chappell. 3rd and 4th options were Barrington and Crowe. Luckily I got my skipper.

 

[weldone]

I wouldn't call de Kock a strong number 6.

ya i meant someone stronger than dullah who can also keep

Since both Gilchrist and Flower were gone, there was virtually nobody for that role as good as qdk

 

[trundler]

Well this is a less than ideal turn of events.

 

[ankitj]

KK – your team needs one more ATG fast bowler

 

[kingkallis]

KK – your team needs one more ATG fast bowler

I do? Dhoni can bat at 6. Right?

 

[Pothas]

Well he is not going to get Ambrose anyway is he. To be fair Trundler should still have a really good side.

 

[trundler]

Right so I may as well say I have 2 ways I can go about this now. Pick a relative passenger and get to Amby or get 2 ATG lites.
