Shield Sheffield Shield Draft Game

[eth-dog]

We did one of these a few years back. Basically a complete redraft of the Shield. Given there are 6 teams I suppose 6 entries would be the best number of entrants.

[Aussie_boy]

I’ll go Cam Bancroft

 

[eth-dog]

corbies with the double

 

[corbies]

Right I really need some middle order players and I've gone with a couple of test centurions:

Pick 30: Kurtis Patterson - The man with the test average of 144. Would still likely make an Aus A First class side so happy to pick him up with pick 30.

Pick 31: Glenn Maxwell - A bit of a forgotten man in the Shield but averages 44 in the comp combined with some handy offies. Also elite fielder, x-factor etc. etc.

Oh I forgot to thank eddiesmith for help with pick 30. He said he was a big fan and a must pick.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Damn, Maxwell was my next pick.

 

[Aussie_boy]

I’ll go Chadd Sayers in the hope that not every game is at Karen Rolton Oval. Plus he deserves to play in a team that can bat longe than 50 overs.

Dude there are only 3 good spinners in the Shield and all of them are gone. Agar is the fourth best and he's gone.

Wait Agar is gone as well *

Steven O Keefe could easily come out of forced retirement

 

[eth-dog]

Wait Agar is gone as well fu**

O'Keefe is ineligible. Forced retirement or not, he's retired.

 

[11kgm]

O'Keefe is ineligible. Forced retirement or not, he's retired.

Umm Beau Webster/Parker s**t there ain't much left

 

[eth-dog]

Umm Beau Webster/Parker sh*t there ain't much left

Stop talking like, right now.

 

[corbies]

And I had my eyes set on Hughes.

 

[11kgm]

And I had my eyes set on Hughes.

I was surprised whiteman when before him

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Tossing up between two options here, but I don't think there is a huge difference between my two options with the bat, whereas only one offers anything with the ball, so with that in mind I'll stock up on a second one and take Mitch Marsh.

Callum Ferguson.

Happy to send this one to the third umpire for adjudication, given he retired last week but has actually played Shield cricket this season, unlike a lot of others selected.

I mean he's played Shield games this year so it seems fair to me, unlike SO'K who retired over the off season
