Great pick. Was on my extended list.

Masakadza going this early is insane. What’s the point? How is he any better than Grant Flower or Brendan Taylor etc

My original plan was for Andy Flower, then pushed for time on my Zimbabwe pick.
Madakadza averages 30/30
Grant Flower averages 30/61
Taylor averages 36 with the bat

[Piggy Smalls]

Murray Goodwin -ZIM - 1990s

Not a lot of Zimbabweans to choose from but this one has plenty of experience at the WACA

Nah. If you **** up (by either taking too long or picking a player who was already taken) you deserve to be skipped until you fix your mistake IMO.

Michael Holding- West Indies 1970's

Damn it!

[The King!]

Having a list ready makes it worse when 2 go instantly

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Oh no he was my keeper choice! have to go to my backup now!

Yeah I was worried he would get taken before my pick and knew he wouldn't last until my next pick. I think he will be happy at the WACA. He played quite a few games for WA.

Yeah, I don't mind really, I actually rushed it as I had checked 2 picks earlier and he wasn't taken and thought I can get this done quickly once I got the notification. I see what you are saying, it is not a bad rule.

If we chose one of the 15 percent of players born outside of England to represent England will that qualify as a different country?

2 have already been selected.

I’ve heard quite a few players from overseas have moved into the SE of Melbourne after retirement and just play club cricket locally
