Shaggy up now.

[CrowsFan]

Ok shaggy was going to pick Gorgon Greenidge with his next pick, but he was chosen so his pick instead is Patsy Hendren.
Hendren has scored the third highest number of first class runs in history and is second only to Hobbs for most number of first class centuries.
BB up now
