[Interval]

Both excellent picks

 

[Interval]

Greenidge + Haynes combo. Interesting

 

[Nighteyes]

I was going for the 'other' successful opening combo but my AM convinced me otherwise.

 

[The Man Himself]

It was kind of toss up between Kirsten and Haynes for me for opening slot. Went for Kirsten.

 

[ghaliboy]

You Aussies hold Bhajji in higher regard than most of us Indians do don't you? I remember an Aussie picked him earlier than i thought he'd be picked the last draft as well. Familiarity breeds contempt I guess.

Cant stand the sus action cnut. He was the last of the decent spinners left though... .

 

[Red-Indian]

Both Qadir and Mushtaq went after him. I'd say they're around the same level. MacGill's figures are actually better though off a slightly smaller sample. It just stuck me as a funny co-incidence that an Aussie picked him both times and picked him a round earlier than I thought he'd be picked.

Mushtaq Ahmed? Qadir I'd never seen, before my time.

 

[Red-Indian]

Yeah Mushtaq Ahmed. I don't remember his numbers but they can't be significantly worse than Bhajji's plus Bhajji got a fair few dust bowls to bowl on. They're about the same level I'd say.

Qadir was a decent bowler. Didn't get much respect in India...but then most spinners didn't except perhaps Murali.

 

[ghaliboy]

Qadir was a decent bowler. Didn't get much respect in India...but then most spinners didn't except perhaps Murali.

Pretty much the only one who can bowl the doosra with venom and with a sus enough action to be trouble as an off-spinner.

 

[Moby]

Sorry, was out, will pick in a bit.

 

[Moby]

Staying with the theme of island nations...

[crappycraperson]

I hope MJJ was PMed

 

[Interval]

I have R-I's picks.

 

[crappycraperson]

After my picks, the time limit for a draft limit will go down to 6 hours with advisory to PM your upcoming next pick to myself or someone else and listing the name of the person PMed in the thread.

Only exception for a 6 hour extension will be if the name PMed is picked up by someone else.

 

[MJJ]

Flintoff, sorry was asleep.

 

[Red-Indian]

What the feck! You guys've made3 picks in the last 18 hours or so.

Somebody get ghaliboy's pick before he goes beddy-bye. Else we'll be stuck for a whole day. Ghaliboy, message someone above you.

 

[Donaldo]

Making mine in 5 mins...
