I thought I was farkn clever saving him, ready to move Mccullum down the order heck

I spent most of the draft planning on Jadeja so only realized today that I could grab Jaiswal.

 

[akkaps]

Jaiswal was gonna be my second Indian pick

 

[The_Reaper]

Jaiswal was gonna be my second Indian pick

You couldn’t have picked him because he has played test cricket on the same team as Jadeja

 

[whatwhatsaywhat]

when you can, Purple7x08_24 , can you please update the excel doc at the top so it's easier to see who has / hasn't been picked as yet?

also, bellerive oval not shitty-rm's arena for my team locale please!
