Well it shouldn't come as any surprise that the first player picked is Don Bradman.

[t_94]

I'll take Sir Garfield Sobers

Oaktree

 

[Carbine Chaos]

No Bradman rule?

Surprised this wasn't implemented.

 

[Danger in Texas]

In the past drafts I've done, there's been no Bradman rule, and the teams haven't seemed too unfair.

 

[Oaktree]

I'll continue with the knighted:

Sir Jack Hobbs (1877-1910)

 

[Van_Dyke]

Pogba you're up.


Just a note fellas, can you try and nominate what era you are picking the players for? Would be much appreciated

 

[Super Hans]

I'll take one of the older players while he's still there, Sydney Barnes.

189 wickets at 16.43, happy to have him.

Van_Dyke are you going to add players taken into a post?

In the OP.

 

[Jak!x]

At an average of 50.23 from 121 Tests, the master blaster Sir Vivian Richards is a welcomed edition to my middle order. A fitting place in the top ten picks, Viv shoulders the load of being a staple in the middle order.

Van_Dyke

 

[Van_Dyke]

In a tough, tough call, I'm going with Sachin Tendulkar. One of the greatest batsman of all time, Sachin will be a vital part of my team, scoring ton after ton in the middle order. Very close call between Sachin and another player.

Shiv

 

[Shiv]

Can't pass up the opportunity to have the great Brian Lara (2000-2010) in my team, slotting in at no.4!

Carbine Chaos

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I'm going for a 'bad-boy' style team to get hearts pumping and panties dropping.

With that in mind, I shall begin with the incomparable Shane Warne as my first pick. Will include him for the 2001-2010 decade.

[The Speaker]

An unquestionable game-changer, someone who managed to combine the arts of wicket-keeping and batting into a form that was awesome to watch, Adam Gilchrist is my first pick.

gym4life takes Mitch Marsh.

Who's up next?

Lel

 

[Danger in Texas]

Hard to go past a guy with a batting average of 58.45 in tests. Wally Hammond was, by all reports, a beautiful batsman. He'll go in the 1926-1940 decade.

Mateyman

Also Marsh at 10 holy shit

gym4life

Great pick. I was 50/50 on him or Barnes for my first pick, went Barnes because my knowledge of older players isn't great, took a superstar oldie while I could.

 

[Van_Dyke]

I'll just hold it until gym4life actully makes his pick. Besides Carbine Chaos he'd take Watto, not MMarsh.

He'll probably take Hammond now, damn your good troll thorne
