[MENTION=132270]SL_Fan[/MENTION] 's turn to pick another couple of GOAT players

 

[maddgenius]

[MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION] can also make his pick as long as he doesn't intend to pick a 90's player

 

[SL_Fan]

oOOO goodie!

Change of plans Chow Corner's next couple of picks

Sir Shaun Pollock (Nov 16, 1995) & Jacques Kallis (Dec 14, 1995)

 

[SL_Fan]

[MENTION=139595]Ab Fan[/MENTION] I think it's your turn champ.

 

[SL_Fan]

Night night y'all peace out!

 

[Ab Fan]

Ur turnsky )

 

[Ab Fan]

<B>Saqlain Mushtaq (8 Sept,1995)</B> to finish the quartet.

[MENTION=56933]ElRaja[/MENTION], over to you!

 

[ElRaja]

another obvious and rather easy selection, Ricky Ponting -1995

so i guess over to [MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION]

 

[maddgenius]

Hope [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] has Realab's pick

 

[Abdullah719]

Hope [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] has Realab's pick

No.

Think we're in for a long wait for the next pick

 

[Ab Fan]

SL Fan - 1995
AB Fan - 1995
ElRaja - 1995
Moh@n - 1992

Looks like we are heading towards the danger area

 

[Abdullah719]

What about players who never debuted in Tests (two cases: only ODIs, or no internationals at all)...

Innocent question. [MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION]

 

[Moh@n]

What about players who never debuted in Tests (two cases: only ODIs, or no internationals at all)...

Innocent question. [MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION]

I didn't get it.

This is a test draft, so the players we choose have to have played test cricket.

 

[Abdullah719]

I didn't get it.

This is a test draft, so the players we choose have to have played test cricket.

I guess so, but just checking since the scenario wasn't specifically mentioned.

Innocent question. [MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION]

A certain C.R [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION].

Happy to go by 1st class debut if people are comfortable allowing them

 

[therealAB]

I pick Alan Davidson

 

[Abdullah719]

A certain C.R [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION].

Happy to go by 1st class debut if people are comfortable allowing them

You guessed my plan. First-class debut wouldn't work with my timeline, though, so I guess the master plan won't work in this case...

I pick Andy Roberts.

Over to [MENTION=23911]Moh@n[/MENTION].

 

[Moh@n]

[SL_Fan]

SL Fan - 1995
AB Fan - 1995
ElRaja - 1995
Moh@n - 1992

Looks like we are heading towards the danger area

[MENTION=56933]ElRaja[/MENTION] threw a massive curve ball on us

Went from picking Sutcliffe and Walcott to Lara and the mighty McChicken.

 

[SL_Fan]

[MENTION=134789]maddgenius[/MENTION] your pick bro.

Then my fave tape ball star [MENTION=151679]Forward Defensive Push[/MENTION]

 

[maddgenius]

Sir Ian Botham

[MENTION=151679]Forward Defensive Push[/MENTION]

 

[maddgenius]

Was a tough choice choosing between Botham and a certain pacer

 

[maddgenius]

Quite sure [MENTION=151679]Forward Defensive Push[/MENTION] is gonna pick a certain opener. His 2nd pick would probably be a pacer I reckon

Welcome Sir Gordon Greenidge

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

My second pick is his his partner in crime and rated as one of the top 5 of 1980's alongside Imran, Marshall, Lillee and Hadlee.. Debut in 1977..

Welcome big bird Joel Garner

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Quite sure [MENTION=151679]Forward Defensive Push[/MENTION] is gonna pick a certain opener. His 2nd pick would probably be a pacer I reckon

[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] needs an all rounder

[MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION]

 

[Abdullah719]

[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] needs an all rounder

Ikhatti 14 saal ki jump maar di?

I was planning for an even bigger jump But glad that Flower was available instead.

 

[maddgenius]

[MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION]

Your turn

Kindly pm your next pick too with a backup to Abdullah

 

[therealAB]

Ken Barrington to add some steel to my batting

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

All teams are filled with atgs, would be very difficult to choose the top 3.
I think posters should look on making the combination better and not choose two similar kind of players even if they are certified atgs.

 

[maddgenius]

[MENTION=56933]ElRaja[/MENTION]

Please pm your next pick to Abdullah

Think I can guess your next picks

 

[SL_Fan]

[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION] up next so shouldn't be too long await.

 

[Abdullah719]

You have Wasim and Warne, you don't need other bowlers

 

[SL_Fan]

Think I can guess your next picks

I'm thinking either Stuart Broad or Suranga Lakmal what do ya reckon.

 

[maddgenius]

[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION] up next so shouldn't be too long await.

Don't think he's gonna jump to late 90's from 50's so your picks are safe

 

[maddgenius]

I'm thinking either Stuart Broad or Suranga Lakmal what do ya reckon.

Why did you have to mention him?

 

[SL_Fan]

You have Wasim and Warne, you don't need other bowlers

 

[maddgenius]

You have Wasim and Warne, you don't need other bowlers

Add Pollock, Kallis and Sobers too

 

[Ab Fan]

That is one heck of a lineup

It was between two all time great No.3's and I have given you the one you want to pick

 

[Abdullah719]

It was between two all time great No.3's and I have given you the one you want to pick

Everyone knows who you want to pick next too

 

[SL_Fan]

Don't think he's gonna jump to late 90's from 50's so your picks are safe

Ya never know [MENTION=56933]ElRaja[/MENTION]

 

[maddgenius]

Ya never know [MENTION=56933]ElRaja[/MENTION]

Thundebolt already has a keeper so don't worry

 

[maddgenius]

Everyone knows who you want to pick next too

Would be epic if [MENTION=132270]SL_Fan[/MENTION] picks both

 

[Abdullah719]

Would be epic if [MENTION=132270]SL_Fan[/MENTION] picks both

[MENTION=139595]Ab Fan[/MENTION] might then have to resort to some tips from his newly created thread in the cricket forum

 

[Ab Fan]

Everyone knows who you want to pick next too

Not sure if he can keep to Marshall's, Donald's, Imran's and Saqlain. But then he is a genius, can do anything

 

[SL_Fan]

It was between two all time great No.3's and I have given you the one you want to pick

Sí muchas gracias amigo
