Sheep like Draft on Speed

[watson]

I think that Richie Richardson has been confused Tom Richardson, and I can't see Norm O'Neill anywhere. So tentatively;

01. Jackie McGlew
02. Herschelle Gibbs
03. Richie Richardson
04. Norman O'Neill
05. Frank Woolley
06. John R. Reid*
07. Chris Cairns
08. Bert Oldfield+
09. Wilfred Rhodes
10. Javagal Srinath
11. Garth McKenzie

Other possibilities for the No.4 + 5 + 6 spots include Mohinder Armanath, Mushtaq Mohammad, Basil D'Oliveira, Tom Graveney, Brian McMillan, or Trevor Bailey.

Not sure on the batting order really, although I do like;

01. Jackie McGlew
02. Herschelle Gibbs
03. Richie Richardson*
04. Norman O'Neill
05. Tom Graveney
06. Trevor Bailey
07. Chris Cairns
08. Bert Oldfield+
09. Wilfred Rhodes
10. Javagal Srinath
11. Garth McKenzie

Ideas?

Should have known you would take Woolley early on, watson. Stupid of me going for him in Round 3.

Went for mainly 'batting allrounders' in R1 because I was in a hurry and it was the first thing that I thought of. So yeah, Woolley was always going to be there.

 

[Pothas]

Glenn Turner
Roy Fredericks
Jonathan Trott
Patsy Hendren
VVS Laxman
Alec Stewart
Ian Botham
Johnny Briggs
Fazal Mahmood
Bill Johnston
Bob Willis

Very happy with this, bowling in particular.

Really tough deciding on my openers, Jayasuriya could easily play instead. Katich not a bad option either.

 

[watson]

Obviously didn't check the 'Bs' closely enough in the banned list, and just assumed Botham was long gone. Well spotted Pothas.

 

[Saint Kopite]

1. Gary Kirsten.
2. Andrew Hilditch.
3. David Boon. (*)
4. Damien Martyn.
5. Andrew Flintoff.
6. Mehrab Hossain.
7. Moin Khan. (+)
8. Saqlain Mushtaq.
9. Charlie Griffith.
10. Mohammad Asif
11. Pommie Mbangwa.

Ideas?

Please only include players you've got.

Watson R1 Basil D'Oliveira, John R Reid, Trevor Bailey, Mohinder Armanath, Brian McMillan, Mushtaq Mohammad, Frank Woolley, Chris Cairns, Wilfred Rhodes R2 Roy Gilchrist, Garth McKenzie, Javagal Srinath, Jackie McGlew, Herchelle Gibbs R3 Tom Graveney, Warren Lees, John T Murray, Bert Oldfield

I didn't include Richie Richardson or Norm O'Neill because Howe and weldone picked them too.

 

[watson]

OK thanks. In that case I might as well play 4 or 5 allrounders in the middle order,

01. Jackie McGlew
02. Herschelle Gibbs
03. Tom Graveney
04. John R. Reid*
05. Basil D'Oliveira
06. Frank Woolley
07. Chris Cairns
08. Wilfred Rhodes
09. Bert Oldfield+
10. Javagal Srinath
11. Garth McKenzie

Incidently, Reid spent most of his time at No.4 for NZ.

01. Jackie McGlew
02. Herschelle Gibbs
03. Mohinder Armanath
04. John R. Reid*
05. Tom Graveney
06. Frank Woolley
07. Chris Cairns
08. Wilfred Rhodes
09. Bert Oldfield+
10. Javagal Srinath
11. Garth McKenzie

 

[fredfertang]

Bill Edrich
Mike Atherton
Douglas Jardine
Duleep
Warwick Armstrong
Stanley Jackson
Frank Foster
Wally Grout
Tony Lock
Sylvester Clarke
Ted McDonald

　
And the best twelfthers in the business; Colin Bland

 

[watson]

Just when I was admiring Pothas' team along comes Fred.

(Opening with Jardine, thus putting Compton's twin in his usual position at first drop is also an option?)

 

[NUFAN]

Does anyone else want to post their final XI?

 

[watson]

Watson's final XI;

01. Jackie McGlew
02. Herschelle Gibbs
03. Tom Graveney
04. John R. Reid*(5)
05. Basil D'Oliveira (7)
06. Frank Woolley (6)
07. Chris Cairns (3)
08. Bert Oldfield+
09. Wilfred Rhodes (4)
10. Javagal Srinath (2)
11. Garth McKenzie (1)

12th. Trevor Bailey

 

[cnerd123]

I want to trade for a solid batsman...willing to give up one of Ntink/Morkel/Shakib/Kumble.

 

[bagapath]

I am ready to let go of one my keepers for a good opening batsman or a bowler. anyone wants haddin or kirmani?

 

[watson]

I think that there's been plenty of time to arrange a trade since R3, so any future trades need to be resolved promptly otherwise the draft could drag on forever which is really boring. Time limit?

 

[bagapath]

1. Gary Kirsten.
2. Andrew Hilditch.
3. David Boon. (*)
4. Damien Martyn.
5. Andrew Flintoff.
6. Mehrab Hossain.
7. Moin Khan. (+)
8. Saqlain Mushtaq.
9. Charlie Griffith.
10. Mohammad Asif
11. Pommie Mbangwa.

I think you will be better off giving me andrew flintoff and taking gladstone small in return. I can top it with $50.

 

[Red]

Ian Redpath
Kepler Wessels
Eddie Paynter
Mark Waugh
Ken Rutherford
Darren Lehmann *
Ian Smith +
George Lohmann
Geoff Lawson
Craig McDermott
Bert Ironmonger

There you go Nufan, thanks for organising that mate.

 

[Howe_zat]

I want to trade for a solid batsman...willing to give up one of Ntink/Morkel/Shakib/Kumble.

Dilshan? Barlow? Du Plessis?

 

[Howe_zat]

IIRC my team is

Simpson
Lawry
Dilshan/Barlow/Du Plessis
Cowdrey
Taylor
Giffen
Ames
Peel
Richardson
Bowes
Vogler

 

[cnerd123]

Dilshan? Barlow? Du Plessis?

Shakib and Kumble for Barlow and Plessis sound good?
