The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

International Coach
I'm up for this as long as you getting Bradman counts as your first pick.

So the draft order would be

Kyear - Bradman
PEWS - Imran
PEWS -
Kyear -
Kyear -
PEWS

Etc.
I was initially thinking of that, but with every one saying that Bradman gives his team an unassailable advantage, how about you just lead of each round, to try to keep tilted that way.

Bradman
Imran

And not a competition, trying to get the two best teams possible.

And interesting to see what each would look like.

And the drop off behind. Quite a bit behind the others and much more subjective.

Everton Weekes and Alan Davidson the borderline picks to miss out.

Watling, Ames, Dujon or Healy surely?
Love his read up on Cricinfo, always have.

Ames was supposedly slightly more batsman leaning, Dujon wasn't the maestro to spin that he was to pace, Healy was ethically challenged at times, at least from my memories.

I know he was a very effective ODI bowler in the early days but would Waugh's bowling really be that much more useful in Tests than Border's?
