[PhatBoy]

F*** you. Braithwaite was next in line.

 

[JG22]

Carlos Braithwaite

Rustin Cohle

 

[eth-dog]

Why pick Brathwaite and play him middle order when he's an opener? Would be better to move Azhar to 3 and Root to 4 (where he's a better bat anyway)

I know it's kinda my draft but would like to know your views on picking Kolpak cricketers. Yay or nay?

I think if they haven't played test cricket it should be their nationality.

I assume you mean selecting someone like a Klinger or Dave Hussey as an England selection for example?

No.

Because whoever has the next pick will pick Kyle Abbott and then nobody else will be available to get picked.

 

[PhatBoy]

Forgive my complete ignorance but as I said in my first post I've not done this sort of thing before.

How exactly does this sort of 'competition' get decided?

We could always "sim" the games (put the batting/bowling averages in a simulator which runs each side against each other), or we can do some kind of vote.

1. Kraigg Brathwaite (West Indies)
2. Murali Vijay (India)
3. Azhar Ali (Pakistan)
