Sheep Draft

[Neil Pickup]

I'm not coming out of this very well. Working too hard, obviously... Monday was 8am to 11pm pretty much permanently on duty.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Samuel_Vimes - Keith Stackpole, Monty Noble, Craig Matthews, Asim Kamal, Amar Singh, Ricky Ponting, Gary Kirsten, Marvan Atapattu,

corrected.

 

[NUFAN]

Good suggestion Goughy.

Cheers Vimes, I just copied and pasted and had forgotten about the Verity non selection.

Round10
You are required to select a Cricketer who has captained in a minimum of 25 Test Matches, Any Captain who has had draws in over 50% of their matches is excluded.

Just wanted to clarify the question.

It's captaining in 25 test matches or more and in matches as captain not more then 50 percent of the matches could end up as a draw.

EG: X played 46 matches in charge with a record 14w 8l 24d he wouldn't be accepted.

Will send a new email shortly. Pls disregard the last one.

Sorry if I'm wrong but I think this is the 9th question.. I only have 8 players so far.

This is the 10th question. As question 9 is ongoing, the players have not been revelaed yet.

So we have 8 in the bag, 1 (Q9) yet to be revealed and we are trying for our 10th.

 

[Noble One]

Team thus far:

Bill Lawry
*
Jacques Kallis
Inzaman Ul-Haq
Ajay Jadeja
Warwick Armstrong
*
Ken Farnes
Derek Underwood
*
Rodney Hogg

12th Man

Obvious what style of players I am after now. Still hoping to pick a quality player so I can move Jadeja to 12th Man.

Ahhh I see where I've gone wrong now. Cheers mate.

EDIT: Team looking awesome btw Noble_one, espescially batting.

 

[NUFAN]

How do we want to work out who has the best team when the 12 is selected?

I was thinking of everyone voting to sheepdraft in a 3-2-1 style format for the 3 best teams.

BTW, I've just thought of the remaining 2 questions. Question 12 will be a question that gives any type of player a chance of being selected.

3-2-1 style sounds best.

Everyone can post final XI. Give a small summary on strengths/weaknesses. Reasoning behind certain selection moves etc.

Nice side. Would prefer Burge in the team just for his batting with Alec Stewart down the order as keeper.

possibly: 1 burke 2 xxx 3 chappelli 4 burge 5 walters 6 stewart 7 khan 8 xxxx 9 xxxx 10 bedi 11 turner

Would be nice to have another quick and another spinner in your lineup and opener if possible..Your side has quality minds as Captain and VC.

Unless biased indian is going for a two spin combination, then no need for another spinner. Bishan Bedi is all class, can easily hold that role down. With Ian Chappell to bowl his much under-rated leg breaks as backup.

Agree on the opening batsman. Stewart more suited to batting down the order, might just be the only negative I can find in this team

That's true. I was actually thinking more of Walters medium pacers as the reason to go for a spinner and a pace bowler instead of 2 pace bowlers.

If it were me though I would be looking for a good quality spinner, one in the top 15 or so of all time, of course my questions to come probably wont allow this.

MUHAAHMUHAHAA..

Question 11
My favourite Cricketer of all time is Mark Waugh so you are required to select someone who's stats are not as good as Waugh's in the following areas:

• Lower Batting Average (number below 41.81)
• Less Catches (below 181)
• Higher bowling average (number above 41.16)

Please note that the person you are picking must have bowled a ball in Test Cricket, if he has 0 wickets he will be considered.
