By the time Titan finishing trawling the rankings, Watto will be coaching...or commentating... :ph34r:

 

Sorry guys, I've been indisposed the last 24 hours, unable to even check in. I'll have a think tonight and hopefully choose (it's tough having to pick two every time!).

Actually, I can do this now. No one took who I was considering.

Pick 72 - Brad Haddin (Australia)

I know it's possible that he may never play again, but I need a keeper. There aren't any decent ones left, and frankly, Haddin is better than most other countries' keepers.

Pick 73 - Trent Boult (New Zealand).

I need a Kiwi. He's taken some wickets recently, so that'll do.

Pick 74 - Junaid Khan (Pak)

Going to go with the 23yo speedster who after 9 Tests has a pretty good bowling average (28) compared to his opening partner (who I picked last time) who hasn't. Taken a few 5 wicket hauls I think he's promising long term prospect for the Paki's.

I reckon you stole my list!

Round 10, Pick 75

The forgotten man of Australian cricket, Ryan Harris

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/5779.html

One could argue that when fit, he's the leader of the Australian attack. Last I heard is he's on track to play in one of Queenslands next Shield matches, possibly their next.

 

Round 10, Pick 76

Yuvraj Singh (India)


My pick again so quickly .

I'll have a Root .

Joe Root-England and Wales

Pick 77.

Nice pick there Biffen. He's someone that I'd completely forgotten about.

In other news, it was very nice to see Younis Khan have a return to form and score his 21st Test century against South Africa last night. While on the bowling side, good to see Morne Morkel take 2 wickets and only go at about 2.3 runs an over!

What way are you thinking 45???

I'd of thought you'd be looking at going with an openner?

Oh god - sorry lads I totally forgot.

I just need an amazingly good batsman who, indeed, can open. Will have a think today.

He took 6/40 odd against the Aussies in Hobart.(It may be his best figures IIRC). I was looking at him a few rounds ago before I opted for Guptill. Mainly because I thought I was a very good chance for Khan from Pakistan.

I think he's a handy bowler Django.

At 22 I think he's a great bowling hope for them, big and strong, had height and does enough with it. He's not slow either.

NZ are surprisingly building a reasonable battery of young quicks with Bracewell, Southee and Boult as well as a couple of others!

Just quietly, Philander is a star. I don't think he should try and 'boost his pace' later in the innings though.

If it ain't broke don't fix it and with Philander's injury history I don't think his captain should be pushing him towards another injury through over exertion.

His dad was a handy darts bowler and a very,very dour lower order bat, a gravedigger before he played test cricket, and batted like one.

Not thinking of his uncle John are you? His old man only played a few tests I think.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
