Test Cricket Eras Draft v. 2.0. - Draft and Discussion Thread

[OrdinaryJoel]

One more round to go that.

Ah my mistake

 

[courtjester]

Hashim Amla & Andy Roberts. I'm surprised Roberts is still available, he was the first of the modern generation of WI's quicks, incredibly hostile and deadly. Partnering him with Holding makes sense! I need Amla in that middle order to stabilise things, an incredible batsman who will slot in well between my aggressive batsmen (Chappell and Miller).



- Matt Hayden (1990-1999)
- Arthur Shrewsbury (1877-1909)
- Ian Chappell (1960-1969)
- Hashim Amla (1999-present)
- Eddie Paynter (1930-1939)
- Keith Miller (1940-1949)
- Imran Khan (1970-1979)
- Richie Benaud (1950-1959)
- Bert Oldfield + (1920-1929)
- Michael Holding (1980-1989)
- Andy Roberts (wildcard)

12th man- Frank Woolley

[Super Hans]

I have a full team? Or are we having a 12th man too?

12th man too

Yeah the impression I got was that you pick a 12th man too.

 

[Super Hans]

Vijay Hazare.

 

[JP Sauce]

I guess the idea of taking 12 players is so you can take 1 from each era plus your wildcard, and not skip out on any of them.

Are decades based on test or first class debuts?

Test I think... Danger in Texas to confirm

 

[Carbine Chaos]

They aren't based on debuts, just if the player played during that decade.

 

[The_Reaper]

They aren't based on debuts, just if the player played during that decade.

I am planning to draft Ted McDonald for 1910-1919

He made his first class debut in 1909/10 but his test debut in 1921.

If he didn't play a test during the era you want to select him then I'd say no, but I'm not the boss.

He made his first class debut in 1909/10 but his test debut in 1921.

Then he'd be 20s, it isn't a FC draft.

 

[The_Reaper]

I figured that would be the decision.

Frederick Fane, the good Essex boy

[Carbine Chaos]

My wildcard is the very definition of the word. The perfect bloke to have as an option for the bouncy and fast WACA pitch.

JEFF THOMSON (Wildcard)

Tests: 50
Wickets: 200 @ 28, 8 x 5fer

Jeff Thomson was one of the fastest bowlers to have played Test cricket. With an unusual slinging action, and an aggressive approach, he was a fearsome sight to batsmen. He debuted against Pakistan in 1972-73, but hampered by a broken bone in his foot (which he hid from the selectors) was ineffective. Recalled in 1974-5, and forming a partnership with Dennis Lillee, he terrorised the England tourists with consistent spells of extreme fast bowling, taking 33 wickets in the series. His action put considerable stress on his body, particularly his right shoulder, and he was rarely fit enough to reach those peaks again. He adapted his methods, relying less on pure pace, and more on an excellent cutter, and seam and swing. He was always capable of unleashing a very fast bouncer that would skid and follow the batsman from only just short of a length. He remained with the Australian side when many left to join the Packer circus in 1977, and carried their attack through two series against England and India, but left to join WSC shortly afterwards. A capable fielder, and a lower order batsman who could hit, he was frequently heard on radio commentary during the 1997 Ashes series.

A sample of what he brings to my lineup...



Danger in Texas

 

[Danger in Texas]

Charles Kelleway as my 1910's player to finish me off. One of the better all-rounders in his day.

This is a cricket draft, right?
