[Carbine Chaos]

Nah

Just noticed the two teams you support. I won't be mean to you, life does that enough.

Very Very Silly. You're not very good at these, are you?

Jokes babes x

 

[Noobz0r]

Different grounds, different needs. I'm having fun making these choices based upon my ground, just because it doesn't look all too clever shouldn't reflect on me*




* ok, it should. But the while point of this is enjoyment, and I'm enjoying myself.

 

[Noobz0r]

Ps. Still offended that I won that pool match in the last draft?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

You didn't 'read' my post, did you?

You silly x

Good choice. But if I were you I'd have waited until a little later in the draft before getting VVS, I doubt he'd have been picked up by many others. Only averaged 45 over his career. Anyway, I didn't get a player I wanted because I waited too long so each to their own. I have my eyes on someone with a good record at my ground as well.

 

[Noobz0r]

TBH, I picked Laxman here because I haven't been able to do research on any other players yet haha.

 

[eth-dog]

so is thorne going to pick or?

 

[Mateyman]

Can I make something clear. When I picked Galle, I mean the turning Galle/ one we played on in 2011, which usually favours spinners. Not the Galle highway the teams seem to have been misdirected to in the SL vs Bangladesh match

I was going to do the same with Turner but realised that people were going to for the pre 1930 picks.

But Galle is always a highway

Can I brag about the fact that I have 2 of the top 5 wicket takers of all time, and the only 2 in that 5 that are fast bowlers?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

OK, I don't think either of these have been taken. A very good all-rounder to bat down the order and the steel in my middle order. Potential captains, the two of them.

SHAUN POLLOCK (South Africa/Durham/1989 to present)

Test Runs: 3781 @ 32.3, 2 x 100, 16 x 50
Test Wickets: 421 @ 23.1, 16 x 5-fer
Catches: 72

STEVE WAUGH (Australia/Kent/1965 to 1989)

Test Runs: 10927 @ 51.1, 32 x 100, 50 x 50
Test Wickets: 92 @ 37.4, 3 x 5-fer
Catches: 112

Barnes would have taken 700 wickets easy if he played that many tests

Cough Cough, Australia vs Sri Lanka 4 days cough

I was under the impression you had to chose a domestic team from the players original country (where applicable)?

Shrug my interpretation was there was restrictions on the number from the international teams and from the domestic teams. Waugh did play for Kent, why shouldn't that count?

Rahul Dravid - Karnataka, India - 1990 onwards

I'm using my last pick of the modern era to gain arguably the second greatest Indian batsmen ever, and the third most prolific run scorer in Test cricket with 13,288 runs to his name. Does know how to field in slips too, which helps given the grassy wicket at the Gabba and the bowlers I have in my side
