All Time Test Cricket Draft Voting

[eth-dog]

Boycott, Gooch, Woodful, Tendulkar and Chappell laugh at this attack.

Then why did I finish ahead of you?

 

[Danger in Texas]

gym4life has given 2 1's and no 11's, too? Van_Dyke

 

[Van_Dyke]

Carbine Chaos should be on 98

 

[The Speaker]

Vettori, Pollock, Roberts and Hall no chance of bowling the opposition out? As well as Jackson and Williamson to bowl a few overs?

Look at the opposition. Your team would be better balanced with Williamson as 12th man.

 

[eth-dog]

Look at the opposition. Your team would be better balanced with Williamson as 12th man.

It was a tough choice, batting Vettori at 7 and Gibbs or Williamson and no Gibbs.

 

[The Speaker]

It was a tough choice, batting Vettori at 7 and Gibbs or Williamson and no Gibbs.

You've got Bradman. He's worth two batsmen.

 

[eth-dog]

You've got Bradman. He's worth two batsmen.

Yeah, but Gibbs and Hall average 5 between them

 

[The Speaker]

Yeah, but Gibbs and Hall average 5 between them

If you want to win matches, you need to take wickets. With Bradman you get incredible flexibility, and given the rest of your top order you might as well go for the bowler.

For the record, I wrote down votes for this but forgot to PM Van_Dyke (i.e. I was too lazy to work out how to PM on my phone). Heres how I would have voted:

1. Danger in Texas
2. Van_Dyke
3. Oaktree
4. Carbine Chaos
5. Pogba
6. The Speaker
7. Eth_Dog
8. Rustin Cohle
9. The_Reaper
10. t_94
11. Jak!x
12. Gym4Life

I don't think it would have changed much anyway. Just my 2 cents.

I will need your pitches for home game. Pick a number between 1 and 10 for pace, movement, and turn (eg. raging turner is 3-3-10, classic WACA is 9-5-2, etc).

Also, please tell me whether you want your XI to be adjusted according to the pitch, or whether you just want your first XI for every match. It will be a championship, and I will be adding another 'unselected XI' to even out the number of teams.

 

[Super Hans]

Pace - 9
Movement - 7
Turn - 3

I'll have the same XI for each match. Cheers.

 

[eth-dog]

I think I'll go with a 7-3-5

And change according to conditions.

 

[The Speaker]

The 14th XI will be:

Trevor Goddard (1951-1960)
Bill Lawry (1961-1970)
Zaheer Abbas (1981-1990)
Brian Lara (2001-2010)
Mark Waugh (1991-2000)
Lindsay Hassett (1926-1940)

Yours is the thirteenth team, that's why I asked for your pitch.

 

[Toe Poke]

Yours is the thirteenth team, that's why I asked for your pitch.

My apologies - I didn't read your post thoroughly.

I'll go for a 9-5-2. I would prefer to keep the same team for each match, but it looks like that's not the consensus.
