Round 5, pick 39 - Mitchell Starc (Aust)

Fancy resting him from the Boxing Day Test; every kids dream Test.

Thanks Rogue for updating above update post.

No problems.

I don't mind your picks so far, H_T. Our teams are balanced a little differently so far - I have a spinner, you have an extra batsman - but it's shaping for an interesting match-up.

Now it's titan 'on the snake' with two picks.

Yes, and Titan 'on the snake' had an interesting strategy from the beginning. It will be interesting to see how it pans out 'at the death.'

He's probably sweating already ... :)

Edited by Rogue
Picks 40-46

I might comment on that after he makes his two picks.

Anyone watching the ODI game at the moment?

If you still need a player from the Caribbean, you might want to pick up Extras (WI) - top scorer at the moment.

 

I was looking forward to watching after work... doesn't look like there'll be anything to see by 6.

Pick 40 - Cheteshwar Pujara (India)

Pick 41 - Alviro Petersen (RSA)

My man Hafeez, my opening batsman, last night took 4-for against the Proteas. Broke the de Villiers-du Plessis partnership. Golden arm. Tick.

Round 6 pick 42 Tillerkaratne Dilshan (SL)

Round 6, Pick 43

Abdur Rehman (Pakistan)

http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/player/39091.html

Yes I know he's not playing in their current test match but he's often in the XI and only doesn't play if conditions don't suit two spinners. I figured if I have two Indians then I need two Pakistanis to balance team harmony out....

Ishant Sharma (The Far East)

Round 6, pick 44

Shane Watson (Oz)

Over to you, Biff

 

Brundun Maccullum ( Noo Zulland)

Corriction:Brendon McCullum (NZ)

Tim Southee (NZ)


HT ,

Just looking at your team ,which is very solid .

Is Sachin only retired from 1 day stuff?

I like the look of The Passengers' team and Rogue has some battle hardened types in his.

Yes mate. He retired from ODI on the 23rd Dec 2012 to focus on Tests.

PS. Good pick up in McCullum.

Like what the passenger has picked to date, now for his next pick...

:)

Pick 48 - Misbah-ul-haq (PAK)

Captaincy material.

Pick 49 - Chandimal (SL)

Every team needs a promising young player or two.

A good time to tick some countries off the list while I still liked what was left...

Gautam Gambhir, India.

Edit: spelling.

I'm thinking Stafanie Taylor for my WI pick but will have to do a bit more research!

Ben Hilfenhaus (Aus)

If only she can get that first test match cap, she'd be all yours 45HG!

Nice to see my man Dale Steyn rip the Paki's apart with 6/8 off 8.1 overs. Not to mention M.Starc's continuation of his hot streak summer yesterday at the WACA in the ODI.... :)

I couldn't overlook Kallis in the first round, but Steyn is a great bowler; I'm a fan.

Fwiw, had I had pick one I think Kallis would have been a short priced favourite to be in my team, too.

What a record. I couldn't pass Sachin up in the third round either. Although he's averaged around 30 with the bat in the ODI's of late, his Test record and form has been relatively good - although just a 76 against England recently in their series was about as productive as he could be. But his record is just, wow.

Interestingly the likes of India and Pakistan have played very few Test Matches of late compared to other Test playing nations. - I don't have the breakdown on numbers at hand but this was mentioned on 774ABC recently. Thought I'd mention that. I can understand Pakistan's predicament of late, but when India was mentioned I was surprised.

Tendulkar was a great player, but I actually thought you went a little early on him. I had a look and he averaged just 24 from 15 bats in Tests last year (two 50s; no 100s). I've liked most of your picks, but I think I would have rated Trott and even Dilshan - your round four and six picks - more highly than Sachin in this draft. Tendulkar's record certainly is stellar though.

India follow the money, sadly, so they don't play a great deal of Test cricket. It's a shame.

Yeah perhaps you're probably right with Trott. However, my next pick was at 39 and I thought ST would definitely be gone by then. Matchwinners don't grow on trees and the next best to the Don is hard to come by.

Right now I reckon they both win about the same number of Tests :P

(Just in case you're considering it, Biffen, the Don is ineligible).

Ouch. Harsh on Sachin. He's one good innings away from his 52nd Test hundred. :P

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
