My side doesn't quite have the shape I require yet but I am getting close.

 

[marc71178]

i only have 8 nationalities so far

I'm having a shocker!

Clearly a nation short of a squad there, but I've messed up big time.

Think I may have to spend a few minutes tomorrow checking the other 10 sides!

 

[Blaze]

Marc how many people left to submit?

2. E Paynter
3. VG Kambli

5. CL Walcott
6. AG Fairfax
7. GA Faulkner
8. T Taibu (wk/vc)
9. MA Holding

[chaminda_00]

[Magrat Garlick]

Yes, but 35 not out isn't gonna help the team much

 

[chaminda_00]

His the only guy that averages over 50 in the team, the strength of the 1948 side batting line up was that they had top batsmen around him....

 

[Blaze]

I meant me, Hogg and Hakon

My apologies.


Guys I won't lie I am excited about this. It's going to be great. If only we could get the draft out of the way quicker..

 

[chaminda_00]

I really like the draft, it really adds to the managerial experience, it makes you think about things a lot more then during the regular season when just have to put in Starting XI.

 

[Jamee999]

1.B Mitchell
2.AJ Strauss
3.R Dravid
4. EdC Weekes
5.SR Waugh
6. DCS Compton
7. AC Gilchrist +
8. Imran Khan
9. SE Bond
10. W Bates
11. AA Donald

2 openers, 4 middle order, a keeper (who can hold a bat ), 3 seamers and a spinner.

I like it as well, although would have liked it if I could have selected my entire squad instead of coming in half way through.

Its just a bit time consuming, which I understand must be the case.

 

[Blaze]

Jamee your side is looking very strong it must be said.
