Thank feck that went through
Yessssssss! Get the feck in.
All the players I considered in round 1 were going to be blocked. Happy with my lot, but missed out on a lot of greaats
Looking at some of those round 5 picks, we came very very close to getting a sheep @Mani. Well, us and the other guy as well.
@Skills with border and greg chappel. Wow
Piling them up.
Shaun Pollock is blocked.
I considered Greg Chappell and Sutcliffe before going for Pollock. Sheep avoided.
I was very close to picking Graeme before saying feck it and going with SRT for pick one.
Sheep for @crappycraperson : Alviro Petersen
Thats Shaun Pollock, who is blocked.
Kazi reuniting Haynes and Greenidge
And thank you for that
I reckon bats will be easier to make up. Always have been more great bats than bowlers. Especially spinners. None of the Indian greats did well outside India
I really thought I was blocking Wally Hammond in Round 2. Thats a great pick there @Ijazz17
Crowe did it against the greats in the 80s so I'm ok with my pick. Not a goat, but the basis of NZ's success along with Hadlee
Criteria please. Who did Crappy go for at the end?
We almost went for him but decided to take the risk and go for Clarke in the end.
Criteria 6
Criteria 6: Pick any player with 40 or more catches as a fielder. This means catches taken as wicket keeper don't count.
Let me know if everyone knows how to find this criteria on cricinfo or elsewhere. Else I can post cricinfo list with this criteria applied.
Edit: Link added here too for threadmark purpose.

Considered all of Chappell, Pollock, Sutcliffe, etc.
Happy with the Black Bradman.

Amla
Crowe is an excellent pick tbh.
