Kevin Pietersen (SA...no...no... England)

Close to the biggest draft blunder since Luke Molan! :)

Would he get a game for Australia if an Aussie?

I think he would. And what would that say about Australia's batting strength?

Sorry H_T, bad joke lost in the text translation, one of those one's that works better verbally.

Not meaning the guys ability, rather the nation that 45 said and being suck with an Alviro or Robin Petersen rather then Kevin as obviously intended.

I didn't word what I meant very well.

 
Mahela Jayawardene. (Ceylon)

When you think of Ceylon, you think of tea and you think of Kamahl (though he was born in Malaysia) ^_^

Need wickets , Need a Zaffer soon.

Uum... er

Well palyed Macca, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking of the exact same player with this very pick.....

Round 3, Pick 22

Ravichandran Ashwin (India)

http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/26421.html

As mentioned earlier, the pool of quality spinners is pretty low so thought I should still strike while there's something there.

Also of note, 22 players down and still no love for New Zealand yet.....

Round 4, Pick 27

Virender Sehwag (India)

http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/35263.html

To good a player to ignore and with Alastair Cook it gives me a pretty good openning combination.

Also this is my 2nd pick from India, so I'm now done with them.

Sorry guys -Thanks for your patience .

Currently, Ross Taylor is sitting out of tests - not best XI material in my book :ph34r:

Currently, Ross Taylor is sitting out of tests - not best XI material in my book :ph34r:

Might call for a decision from H_T or a vote?

He's certainly best XI and his exit was self imposed. I think he's suppose to return for the upcoming series against England.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-england-2013/content/story/601784.html

I'll hold off on my picks until this is resolved.

Fwiw, I was about to pick Taylor.

Talking of NZers, it's interesting to see how far Vettori's stocks have fallen in the Best XI game.

Taylor is still a Test player until retired, I thought?

Thought I had a gem at pick 31 there!

I see his current predicament as being similar to someone who has been out with an injury. He's back playing for NZ in a side versus England in the lead-up to the Tests and wouldn't be surprised if he's selected for the upcoming series.

I'd accept Taylor guys. Heard a interview on the radio the other day from a guy from radio sports NZ on SEN. There has been a bit of political fighting among the cricket officials in NZ and the Taylor saga. My understanding is it's being sorted out and it wont be long before he returns to the NZ line up.

Had something to do with his personal IPL committments or something.

45HG - good pick mate. Beat me to it. You've been researching well.

I was considering Vettori at Pick 22, came down to a choice between he and Ashwin for mine. Only went for Ashwin because with Vettori injured so much you probably start to forget of just how good he is.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
