Test Cricket Eras Draft

[OrdinaryJoel]

You don't say unless someone tells you they are taken!

He's being safe, and doesn't want to spam... Unlike you...

 

[MG MG]

He's being safe, and doesn't want to spam... Unlike you...

So uh.. He is just giving away someone to everyone else. And WTF?

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

So uh.. He is just giving away someone to everyone else. And WTF?

It's pretty clear cut why he did what he did... Don't nit pick, as you've been a serial stuff up with your drafting so far as well.

I mean on the spamming lol. It isn't spamming exactly, I just get around all the boards (OFG, SFA, Cricket, AFL, Essendon and occasionally go elsewhere like Draft and Trading etc)

The more important matter: Who the **** is Bruce Mitchell?

South African from the 30s or around then I believe.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Ah yep, just looked him up. Good player

Yeah I was considering in his era. Still plenty of talent out there.

No, I was implying that you spam, due to your **** ups in this draft when you draft the wrong player.

You had a go at Reaper for being safe and choosing a back up if his selection wasn't there, so it was warranted that I stopped you dead in your tracks before you made more of a fool out of yourself.

No, I was implying that you spam, due to your **** ups in this draft when you draft the wrong player.

Do I spam?

Happy with that side????

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Not bad, wouldn't be too afraid of bowling to a side with Imran at 6 and Pollock at 7 though.

 

[The_Reaper]

Happy with that side????

I made a few mistakes with selections but I don't think I had the greatest draft positions.
In the end not bad. Obviously batting is a bit weak but the bowling should compensate. Pollock averages what an old school keeper did anyway.

 

[big_e]

Not bad, wouldn't be too afraid of bowling to a side with Imran at 6 and Pollock at 7 though.

True, but I reckon you'd be OK with Barnes, Tyson, Pollock, Imran and Underwood as your bowlers.

Let the debate begin!

 

[big_e]

You just wanted us all to recognise you had the best attack, didn't you Danger in Texas?

Also, you're assuming nobody picks up any more bowlers amongst the leftovers.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Eagleoz83 what was your rationale for choosing both Benaud and Warne? I considered going two spinners but would have gone for different types if I had.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Strong troll is strong.

But personally, I think thorne89 has the best attack. That four-pronged pace lineup will be hard to beat.

 

[big_e]

Actually, @thorne89's bowlers are pretty good, too.

Edit: HA! Posted this just as you were posting yours....

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Blushes thanks guys

 

[The Speaker]

Good to see Danger in Texas going for the Glinn Mgraw approach to bowlers.
