Cricket Draft - All Time!

[CrowsFan]

BB your test team batting average is 387.17, also why have you got Akram as your number 11 batsmen? He averages much more with the bat than your other bowlers

[Justin Bieber]

My batting depth will go down to 10 :o. Although Wisden was a good Bat, average doesn't reflect that. Also Marsh is a bat but doesn't have a high average ::).

[CrowsFan]

Yeah my batting depth goes to 9 where Wardle had an average of 19. Richardson in 10 has an average of 11

[Justin Bieber]

An average of 489.03 runs an innings. Wisden at 10 (14 average) and Dennett at 11 (10 FC).

Considering Dennett never played Tests (included his 10 average from FC), Lehmann and Woodfull were chosen for their FC batting stats (although decent Test Bats) and Gooch is a better FC batter. I would crack the 500 if I go for their FC stats included instead of Tests.

This is including the player I hope to land ;).

[CrowsFan]

Ok I will set mine out like shaggy just did, but also adding average runs conceded by main 5 bowlers before getting 10 wickets. 5 bowlers are Botham, Davidson, Wardle, Richardson and Spofforth.

[Justin Bieber]

Pulling an all nighter so I'll get to mine later.

Need to finish at least my Physics work so should get through it tonight. As well as NBA and AFL research.

[8-6 Suited]

CF, can you do my Runs conceded please for both Test and FC? I originally had that included in the very spot you had yours but I forgot how you were working it out last time so I deleted it lol :D


My 5 main bowlers:

Frank Woolley
Johnny Douglas
Alec Bedser
Allan Donald
Tich Freeman

[CrowsFan]

Yeah no worries shaggy. Be up in a few minutes then

[CrowsFan]

For shaggy:

Average Runs Conceded Each Test Innings: 279.86

Average Runs Conceded Each First Class Innings: 209.56

[8-6 Suited]

Not tooo bad at all considering I never got the massive names and based around FC. :P


To be honest though, I honestly think a vote is a waste of time. You can't beat the awesome team CF has. Its fantastic. I have beatening him in 1 thing and that is in keeping and runs/wickets in FC. :D

[MTTY]

My pick is Alec Bedser

[Alex7089]

Already got picked by Shaggy I think...
Yeah there's no beating CF.

[CrowsFan]

Well thanks for the vote of confidence guys, but you have both put together great teams!

[8-6 Suited]

Yep, I have Alec of the Bedser twins. :P
