LuckyEd ... I'll be coming up with a ruling that removes the crappy batting stats from bowlers and crappy bowling stats from batters ... like a minimum requirement for the stats to count ... such as 1000 runs scored an/or an average of 15 or over. It's unfair the a crap batter like Couney Walsh can cripple a teams batting average because of his 124 dismissals.

Mister Wrigt Up for 2 picks

Then Lucky Ed goes again

Lucky Eddie UP

 

[PY]

Who by Johnny A?

Eddie himself said Hutton out of turn but he deleted it and has picked him now. I just flicked through the thread and can't find anyone who has picked him.

Eddie is away in Amsterdam from now until 9th.

 

[JohnnyA]

I had Iamdavid down as picking Hutton in the 3rd round ... not sure what happened there ????

Lucky Ed picks Hutton (nice pick in the 5th round!)

SLATS UP

 

[Rich2001]

I had Iamdavid down as picking Hutton in the 3rd round ... not sure what happened there ????

I think your find LE picked him, when it was Iamdavid turn...

 

[JohnnyA]

I think your find LE picked him, when it was Iamdavid turn...

That would explain it .. cheers.

Jon

 

[JohnnyA]

Bump ...

SLATS UP

 

[gibbsnsmith]

hes gone for 2 weeks, isnt he?

 

[JohnnyA]

Oh ... well then I'll auto-pick for him 'till he returns. I'll give him the best available player at a position he needs ...

There's no point skipping him. Skipping only works if he can jump in with his pick a little bit later.

SLATS Picks:

5.03 Glen McGrath

Marc UP

Then:

PY
JohnnyA
GibbnSmith

I'll get the website updated at the end of the round.

SLATS Picks:5.03 Glen McGrath

Johnny A - are you sure Slats wants this pick? Considering we are only aloud 4 picks from the one country and he has already got Border and Bradman, with McGrath that will give him 3 and limit his options for the rest of the draft.

it's ok I'll take Glenn McGrath but yeah I'm out've here for a week on Mon-Thursday.... then jetting out again on Sat to Sat.
I'm sorry guys but Jonny A can pick for me in thsoe times

 

[JohnnyA]

Well McGrath was my next pick too ... but he was the best available bowler, so I was just going by the rankings.

My pick's coming in a minute ...

I want to keep a handle on my bowling average. So I'll pick a fellow opinionated git:

5.06 Freddy Truman

BOWL - 21.58
WICK - 307
5WI - 17

GIBBS UP

 

[marc71178]

Have to say Johnny, you wouldn't have got McGrath if Slats didn't.
