Scorecard Draft

[honestbharani]

True...sympathies with marc71178, he had a really tough scorecard to play with...

so did I


I had in mind a certain allrounder who will definitely qualify as > than decent, and that might have taken us all the way down to the 20s . But Briggs was too good to pass on.

 

[weldone]

HB I think it's your turn now...come on...

 

[Jarquis]

Hmm, if we're lucky I think we could get quite a few picks done tomorrow.

 

[Jarquis]

HB I think it's your turn now...come on...

[kingkallis]

When Sehwag hit that 100 in NZ, oh wait...

 

[Jarquis]

Somerset is after HB. It's not like he's going to be making his pick anytime soon.

 

[kingkallis]

Somerset is after HB. It's not like he's going to be making his pick anytime soon.

Got it mate! People will show more interest once we move back to Post WW2 era...

Billy Barnes

2nd Test: England v Australia at The Oval, Aug 11-12, 1890 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Looks like a decent pick to be #9 for my team.

Honest Hunks so far


-
-
Wally Hammond - 7249 runs @ 58, 83 wickets @ 38
-
-
-
Richard Hadlee - 3124 runs @ 27, 431 wickets @ 22
Billy Barnes - 725 runs @ 23 (with a test hundred), 51 wickets @ 16
-
Johnny Briggs - 815 runs @ 19 (with a test hundred), 118 wickets @ 18



Once again, mighty pleased to get a fast medium bowler and WTH is that average??? I know uncovered wickets and all that but seriously to average 16 as a fast bowler with 51 wickets!!!!!!!

 

[Himannv]

I'm off to bed. Will see who Somerset picked in the morning..

 

[Cevno]

I really hope that by the time my turn comes again,we are atleast in the post world war 1 era .

Otherwise i have absolutely no idea who i am going to pick.

Balancing the team will be really tough in this draft too at the end.

 

[Jamee999]

My knowledge of this era is pretty much sort by average - become cricket expert.

[NUFAN]

GI Joe, can you try and put me in a decent spot next round to help not slow down the draft? I'll be offline from this coming thursday until the tuesday.

 

[marc71178]

Ah good point, I'm away Wednesday to Friday next week as well!

 

[Somerset]

Difficult selection this round - I was hoping that I might've got a scorecard in which Blackham didn't play and had him as a possibility for my selection. I will have to go with Billy Bates though, who took 50 wickets in 15 tests as an offspinner at an average of 16.4, and can bat a bit too - I admit to knowing little about him but I'm not left with much choice!

Somerset XI:
Sachin Tendulkar
KS Ranjitsinhji
Billy Bates

Good choice. I thought you picked the same guy as HB for a second.

 

[Himannv]

Awful scorecard lol.. You blocked off three of my main choices right there. Now I have to think lol..

Not much to be left that's really decent pre-WW1 though.
