All Time Cricket Draft (AGAIN?)

[eth-dog]

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

So would've Larwood. But they had something else in their favour: uncovered pitches

 

[Mateyman]

But Galle is always a highway

Oh, also 8 of last 9 tests have ended in results

 

[Mateyman]

So would've Larwood. But they had something else in their favour: uncovered pitches

So would've most bowlers from that era

Would've gone him. Unfortunately I needed a pre-1930's selection, so I chose Wilfred Rhodes. Good get. One of the best pure glovemen ever. Batting is a LITTLE shaky by all time team standards, but still, if you can bowl 'em out for 200, you don't need great batsmen. Could also play Benaud as a bowler and add another batsman/batting all rounder

Was considering leaving him for a later pick, lucky I didn't

 

[Danger in Texas]

Some nice picks being made.

Oh, and damn you thorne and Noobz0r. Wanted Knott and Pollock.

 

[courtjester]

Batting is a LITTLE shaky by all time team standards,

Knott was a great batsman, one of the very few who could deal with Lillee and Thommo (admittedly from #7)

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Nice work last night lads. Smashed through a few picks. A little sad considering i wanted to pick most of these blokes

Bt just goes to prove we (most of us) are on the same wave length.

 

[eth-dog]

Nobody pissed that I got Dravid? damn it

I still have 2 batsmen to pick, as well as my 3 back up slots. Just filling my greater needs first!

I also have faith in Benaud and Knott beyond what their averages suggest.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Nobody pissed that I got Dravid? damn it

I was a little dissapointed but far from pissed. Good get still

Mateyman is up

 

[Mateyman]

Dudley Nourse. Gun. Averaged 53 in tests and over 50 in FC as well. His stats compare favourably to other early greats. Only strike against him is that his debut was in 1931, just disqualifying him from the earliest era

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Danger in Texas your go buddy.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Ian Healy - Queensland - 1965-1989

The only elite keeper left imo. Best to grab em early on.

[Wacky Tiger]

Well time to pick another local. Whilst this bloke wouldn't have had the chance to play at the new Wanderers he was well used to playing in Johannesburg.

Ballantyne Scouts welcome Bruce Mitchell - Transvaal, South Africa Pre 1930 (just)

This guy averaged a handy 48 whilst being the main man for a team that lacked talented batsmen. It was often commented how good he could have been if he had only had some guys to stick around out in the middle with him.

The Reaper your pick bud.
