[gibbsnsmith]

HOLLLLLLLY ****!!!
I don't care if cricketweb wanna stop that swear word I'll say it again
HOLY S-H-I-T
My number 1 pick!!!
I'm so fregging happy about that!
that has seriously made my day. to the 10 people above me who left samaraweera off their list thank u all so much.

I needed another all rounder and who better than this man!!!

Thilan Samaraweera "I'm so happy to finally have a home in WCC. To finally be able to make my break into the game coming from poor Sri Lanka where I used to have to race elephants for a living is amazing. To be here along side Mr McGrath, Mr Nelson, Mr Llewellyn and Mr Shewag and everyone else here is too much for me. I'm so very happy to be here"

***Points out his business convinced Samaraweera thus, Jerome deserves a pay rise***

****also FS AND WP HAVE BOTH GOT EXCELLENT PICKS DUE TO THEIR ASSNT. MANAGERS****

Auckland are exceedingly pleased with the fact that J Smith wasn't snapped up higher in the draft and was attained at #6. He is a welcome addition to a team that is shaping up nicely to be world beaters in the future.

ok well i did tell him on MSN to skip Z Kaye! I think I was a bit hard done by becasue i was looking over the first choice of the trade option and i saw Z Kaye at academy d.

but i gues Van Jaarsveld will do... but maybe i can be assured of Z Khan next pick?

He was probley one of the many rookies retained by their clubs

Yeah, of the 160 players that made up the accademy, at least a third must have been club players sent in to further their themselves as players...

Mashonalands pick was questionable. Why did they go for Mongia above J Smith?:rolleyes: :P

Experiance. I need all the experiance I can get with Rogers who has only played 20-30 games. An average of 52.6 in 4D is fine for me too as that is my strength. 2 inexperianced players at 3 and 4 would also be a bit risky.

Mongia was only my 3rd choice anyway.

Along with Steve De Jong you now have 2 ACT players
although i was hoping to get Smith myself i am pretty happy with shetty, he was my second pick and hes really gonna help our 1d side.
