Played a couple of seasons at Northcote in Prem Cricket here

He's not Andy Flower but he was a very good keeper for them in his own right. Would've had most dismissals except for the break.

The King!

Ok decided to fill spots from countries I have less back up selections. I am at work on my phone but pretty sure neither of these two are picked, if they are let me know.

I will go Brendon McCullum New Zealand 2000s maybe some won't agree he's worth a pick but pretty aggressive opening bat and he can keep for me.

neglecting my bowling is risky but will take my pakistan player now and take Younis Khan 2010s gives me another 10,000 run scorer

so for now

1 Mccullum NZ 00s. wk

3 Younis Khan Pak 10s

There are 3 people I'm really worried about before my next pick haha. And looking at your country list, I think you'll be worried about me.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if you get the main bowler I have penciled in.

And with that the need to worry about the Bangas is gone. Not worrying about which of them becomes my 12th man.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Pick 5

Daniel Vettori

Lucky you got in when you did. Looks like Akkaps was eying him off and I had him down for my next pick too

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I'm driving home from work shortly but if akkaps gets their next pick in while I'm travelling I will put mine through in about 30 mins to an hour from now.

I considered him too but needed quicks and I'm not sure about a second spinner given SCG usually only has one spinner.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I have so many cricinfo tabs open atm lol.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

I tried putting it into a table but tables are really bad on Bigfooty

 

[Purple7x08_24]

I have so many cricinfo tabs open atm lol.

I use this site. Gives a good run down

Now to start a list of players that will disappear before I get them

Please don't take Nathan Bracken.
