Australian Cricket Draft

[Carbine Chaos]

get the best spinner in the country straight up, we have oodles of pace talent, not much spin talent

He's not the best, but that's a matter for another day. Picking a finger spinner in a draft for Australian cricket should be way down on the list of priorities though.

thorne, I love Beery, and because we attended the same school I have the same man-love for him, but no.

I didn't say Beer was the best.

Mate, we both know that's what you think.

Actually, are you thinking AGAR? oh and Mateyman you're up again mate

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Mate, we both know that's what you think.

If this is a Shield draft, then Steve O'Keefe would have been my first spinner picked by some margin. Especially when you add in his batting.

It's an Australian Cricket draft, not shield draft

get a spinner, there's one left of real high quality

Would he be on a plane to India if not for his shoulder?

Doug the rug?

Doug the rug?

I'd put beer above him. I haven't followed the shield this year. What about Butterworth/Mennie/Sayers/Putland? Doug's not having a great year

Putland.

 

[Mateyman]

Putland.

Think I'll go with Beer in the end. Brings more to the team. The shield bowling lists are full of fast bowlers. There's not that much difference between them. But Beer offers an actually wicket-taking option
Beer at 11 please

Most of them Redbacks

Spot on - there isn't a 'match-winning' spinner in Australian cricket. Would have been a very different draft back in the days of Warne and MacGill, even May, Matthews etc

First class strike rate of 80, shows how bad our spinning stocks are!

I know. I was conflicted with his FC average of 40. BUT, there's a big drop off from him to the next spinner, and you need at least 1. There's maybe Holland. Zampa had a good debut, but you wouldn't really want him as your only spinner. Then there's Hauritz and Kreja.

Doesn't really matter if we are. That will be just for fun. Being random that won't decide the winner.

We will hold a vote.
