All-Time Test Cricket Draft

[Scotty_WCE]

Another 24 hours gone so back to my pick. @Wookiedragon can pick two players at any time.

With pick 11, I will take one of the finest batsmen ever, with a batting average above 50 and the ability to strike fear into any bowling attack. It is of course the West Indian great, Sir Vivian Richards.

My next pick will be my first specialist bowler. Called "perhaps the best left-arm fast bowler of all time" by Cricinfo, having taken 414 Test wickets at an average of 23.62, as well as boasting a Test 250 with the bat, Wasim Akram is my next selection.

Come on @Wookiedragon step up to the plate mate. Hasn’t been the forum for nearly a week. Weird as he would have got emails. Hope he’s ok.

@Matty76, you're up again!

 

[Matty76]

Okie dokie......this really has become a tactical battle hasn't it!?? For his useful runs but more importantly his deadly accurate and prolific swing and seam bowling...my pick at number 8 in the batting order is Sir Richard Hadlee

Post 13 updated.

@BLOWN8....BLOWN8......who you gonna NO-MI-NATE?

 

[BLOWN8]

I’m going with the great Dennis Lillee. Not old enough to see him play but I’ve seen enough highlights to know how damaging he was. Your not the world record holder at the time for test wickets for no reason.

1.

3. Sachin Tendulkar

8. Shane Warne

[BLOWN8]

@mounteverest its your pick mate. Here’s a question, are we ok to move the players we have already picked? For example, I have Lillee at 10, but can I move him to 11 if needed?

Yes mate, you can change your batting order around as needed!

 

[mounteverest]

Ok the late great Martin Crowe is my number 4 and my number11 is none other glen McGrath
Over to you @BLOWN8

 

[BLOWN8]

I’ll sleep on my pick and post first thing in the morning.

Don't you dare pick who I've got lined up for my next pick

 

[BLOWN8]

Don't you dare pick who I've got lined up for my next pick

Why not? @mounteverest stole my wicket keeper and my number 11 right from under me lol. It’s all fun and games though.

I know mate, just mucking around Stealing players from under the noses of others is the fun of the game! Guessing you were going with Pigeon with your next pick if @mounteverest hadn't pounced?

Very interested to see who the next few picks are, still plenty of quality on the table!

 

[Wookiedragon]

Gee I picked a good week to go overseas! Missed all the action.....

Pick 1 - Walter Hammond
Pick 2 - Curtley Ambrose
Pick 3 - Kumar Sangakkarra

 

[BLOWN8]

I need a wicket keeper here so am going with Mark Boucher.

Back to you @Matty76

 

[Matty76]

@Wookiedragon - head back overseas, you just picked two of the players I was going to pick

I can't believe no-one has picked Ian Healy, the best wicketkeeper I have ever seen. He'll do me at No. 7!! Post #13 updated.

I believe it's back to you @Wookiedragon

 

[Wookiedragon]

Greg Chappell @BLOWN8

 

[Keatoboy]

@Scotty_WCE I believe it’s your shot mate!
