All Time Cricket Draft (AGAIN?)

[Danger in Texas]

Curtly ambrose 65-89

Or you.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Sure is. Enjoyed the last Era draft we did. Makes you think and have to be quite tactical too.

Exactly why I created this one. I was bored...

I am no longer a follower of you.

Oh he mad...

Id like to personally thank and credit Raj Singh Dungarpur for giving this young 16 year old kid his first test in November 1989.

​

My selection is​

​

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar​

​

The greatest batsman alive and in some eyes the greatest cricketer to have played the game. When I found out I was first pick in the 80's I was happy knowing I was building my batting lineup around the Little Master.​

​

Eagleoz83 your up champ​

Haha he was my number 1 star in that draft I had to try and pump him up.

In fairness I didn't say in MY EYES

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Mateyman where are you

 

[Danger in Texas]

Me either
To sum it up, I was just saying he shouldn't have slipped to 17

 

[Mateyman]

Will go for the great Curtly Ambrose in the 1965-1990 era. The guy os a gun everywhere. One of the lowest averages of top 20 wicket takers.
Can I change my home ground Danger in Texas to Newlands?

He sure was a gun, especially at the waca, which is why I picked him two picks ago

[Mateyman]

If I'm allowed to change my home ground to Newlands, I pick G Pollock. If not, I'll go with Benaud.

Hate to burst your bubble and I don't think we should be able to change home grounds at this point but I picked Pollock in the 2nd round. So does that mean your taking Richie??

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

Is your pick Richie Benaud Mateyman?

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Is your pick Richie Benaud Mateyman?

Considering he can't have Pollock I'd say yes he's got Benaud. Lets get this thing rolling.

Danger in Texas bring it on

 

[Danger in Texas]

"With the 27th pick in the All Time Cricket Draft v2.0, the Port Jackson Birds select...

Ricky Ponting, from Tasmania, Australia."

Edited, seeing as I can't have Gavaskar. Will write-up in the morning.

[Danger in Texas]

Just realised I can't pick Gavaskar, as him and Sachin are both from Mumbai.

 

[Mateyman]

Since Danger in Texas hasn't picked, and I didn't specify Benaud as my pick, I'm picking Ken Barrington.
Averaged 58 at test level, and 64 against a very strong Australian side. Got better with higher quality of opposition:
average of 40 at county championship, 45 first class, 58 in tests, and 64 against a strong Australian team. Would have done even better if not forced to retire due to a heart attack
EDIT: he just did, still doesn't affect my selection. He wasn't going to pick Benaud anyway

 

[Mateyman]

Danger in Texas
So, I can't change home grounds?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Update OP plz

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Of course you can't. The draft has started.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Whilst statistically this man my look inferior to most he was far from inferior in any way.
