[Varun]

@crappycraperson's team is more likely to eat off all the grass in the outfield than it is to win score runs or pick wickets.

You said you are learning, wtf if that, a set of fantastic top order batsmen's. Brilliant mate.
And other opening combo united.

 

[VanGaalEra]

1 incredible name missing there btw

I'm shocked, it's the reason I didn't pick him, thought it was a dead cert to be picked.

 

[prath92]

I wanted an opener to complement Jayasuriya. Thought of Slater but then went for Wright

I'm learning as I go along Reading the discussions on this thread has also helped

 

[harshad]

Its criminal that Kallis wasn't blocked in Round 1

 

[Varun]

I'm shocked, it's the reason I didn't pick him, thought it was a dead cert to be picked.

Next round

 

[paulscholes18]

@crappycraperson's team is more likely to eat off all the grass in the outfield than it is to win score runs or pick wickets.

 

[Samid]

Next round

I'm blocking him next round just to be on the safe side.

 

[Varun]

I'm blocking him next round just to be on the safe side.

 

[Varun]

@KM

 

[harshad]

Next criteria please.
@KM

 

[KM]

Criteria 8:

Pick someone who has 100 test wickets or more.

No age limits(except Don who wouldn't have been in this criteria anyway)

I know some of the criterias might seem generic to you, but in cricket I've very little choice.

 

[RedTiger]

I've put my next pick off for far too long, I need to go for him now.

 

[harshad]

Block Sent

 

[RedTiger]

All my next picks depend on this one going through... Please please please no-one block me

 

[harshad]

All my next picks depend on this one going through... Please please please no-one block me

Since I sent my pick before you, it is you who are blocking me.

 

[Varun]

Criteria 8:

Pick someone who has 100 test wickets or more.

Yeah, has to be liberal criterias in the cricket draft.

 

[Mani]

Done.

 

[Mani]

Don't make this a 24hr round guys, we can be faster.

 

[Samid]

Wow Pedro Collins finally fits a criteria! He has also taken Sachin's wicket on three occasions.

Underrated cricketer.

 

[KM]

@Samid Delete the player's name.

 

[Samid]

@Samid Delete the player's name.

Why? Half the thread is talk about players already chosen.

 

[KM]

Didn't realise you already had him. Sorry, carry on!

 

[harshad]

Some excellent bowlers to be had this round guys.

[The Man Himself]

@crappycraperson 's 7th criteria sheep: Ewen Chatfield

Not that bad a player to be sheep but then with criteria of 3 or more test MoM, there is rarely going to be a very average player.

 

[NM]

1 incredible name missing there btw
