All Time Cricket Draft (AGAIN?)

[Mateyman]

With the 45th pick:
Greg Chappell (with Queensland as his domestic team)
Is an out and out gun.
Averaged 53.86, but well over 54 if you include super tests, which are of a higher standard. 2nd best Australian batsmen in history in my reckoning (although that's open for debate)

Don't know why, but I always laugh at that Greg Chappell pic where he's doing the square cut.

Pick 46 - Frank Woolley (England, Kent)
james brayshaw is up.

Awesome pick. Certainly not one you pick using stats, but a true all time great.

 

[Noobz0r]

Oh you!

Sunil Gavaskar - 1965 - 90 (Mumbai)

I wanted an Indian at the top of my order, and he's as good as they come generally, let alone just Indians.

Awesome pick. Certainly not one you pick using stats, but a true all time great.

His FC stats are sublime as well.

Was a perfect get for my team as we were in need of an olden day player.

Clarrie Grimmett- South Australia, Australia, 1930-1964. 37 matches, 216 wickets at an average of 24.21, ER of 2.16, and SR of 67.1 Clarrie is one of the great leg spinners, so I'm obviously stoked to get him.

I'm going to take a keeper and steal one from the early era. Cricinfo describes the first choice here as "probably one of the finest batsmen of all time".

RANJI (England/Sussex/1877 to 1929)

Test Runs: 989
Test 100: 2
Test Average: 44.95
Catches: 13

KUMAR SANGAKARRA (Sri Lanka/Colombo/1989 to present)

Test Runs: 10045
Test 100s: 30
Test Average: 55.8
Catches/Stumpings: 169/20

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

Not sure if these two are taken, apologies if they are; internet is slow and OP isn't updated. Ahem. Two legends of the game in my book. One will don the gloves, the other provides terrific fielding as well.

GREG CHAPPELL (Australia/South Australia)

Test Runs: 7110


Test 100: 24
Test Average: 53.9
Catches: 122

KUMAR SANGAKARRA (Sri Lanka/Colombo)

Test Runs: 10045
Test 100s: 30
Test Average: 55.8
Catches/Stumpings: 169/20

Greg is taken.

Sanga hasn't.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Greg is taken.

Sanga hasn't.

Cheers, give me a bit.

 

[Noobz0r]

Thorne ****s me over once again

 

[eth-dog]

Cheers, give me a bit.

I'm just hoping you don't the player I've got in mind...

 

[eth-dog]

Thorne ****s me over once again

with Kumar? I think I'm going to screw you over as well somehow

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Replaced Chappell with Ranji, one of the gems left from the early era.

Andy Flower- Essex, Zimbabwe- 1990 onwards. Test batting average of 51.54, fair keeper too. Will bat at 7 and take the gloves.

Haha, my next pick and the back up taken in the two picks before me. Nice!

Need an all rounder spin bowler from the middle bracket.

. Was hoping he'd slip, oh well. Also, wanted Sanga, but anyway

Oh, whoops forgot to tag james brayshaw
