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.... :)

Biff?

 

Sorry guys-real life is killing me-glad to be back .

Just going to flick through cricinf... er my memory ,and ponder my decision a few mins .

I have to be the worst selector Australia has had sine Hilditch.

No prolems, Biffen. Solid Pakistani choice.

Round 7, Pick 54

Matthew Wade (Australia)

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/230193.html

Not many good keeper batsmen left after Rouge swept on Chandimal who I was hoping might be available a bit later so I felt the need to secure my gloveman now. Gives me the option of batting him at 6 or 7.

Ooh, I had Chandimal in mind from the beginning and wasn't sure how long I could leave it; sounds like I wasn't the only one with my eye on the exciting young keeper batsman from Sri Lanka.

Wade's a solid get though; I was curious to see how far he'd fall and still might have picked him up later on if no one else had snapped him up.

Round 7, pick 55 - Martin Guptill (NZ)

Completes my opening batsmen combo with Dilshan. A regular opening bat for NZ who will compliment my strong middle order..

There's not much left now at NZ.

Over to titan_uranus for the next 2 picks.


If you're seriously talking up Guptill I give up. There's supporting your choices but then there's just being silly. Will he compliment your strong middle order because they're good at cricket and he's not?

TD - if you're batting Wade at 6 you should just stop now (note; that is more intended as a word advice to Australian selectors, but still applies).

It's called talking it up 45HG.

Come in spinner.

Haha, boom!

H_T, I have to agree with 45's sentiment. That said, Guptill is probably performing slightly better than Tendulkar is these days ;)

Come in spinner indeed...

I actually laughed out loud at that reply.

Edit: Perhaps I should have included a silly emoticon or a tongue-in -cheek sign, reading back I'm not sure how you guys have taken me ...

I thought the line about "not much left now in NZ" was pretty good..

If only our footballers were as competitive as some of you blokes.

An endless run of flags would ensue ... ^_^

Who are the 'mystery' adjudicators? And can they be 'influenced'? Can gifts be given 'a la' the IOC ?

Perhaps someone who has frequented the cricket thread. I'll have to put my feelers out and see if we can entice someone...tbc

In all my years 45HG I don't know if I've ever been insulted as bad as that! hehe.

Let's not forget I have Ashwin who apart from being a good spin bowler has a test batting average of 45 and his first class batting average is 38 so it's not as though he's just been lucky for 12 tests.

I'd be more concerned 45 about finding a bowler who can deliver it at more then 130kmh if I were you. :)

Is it against the spirit to suggest players when I'm not in the game? If I were looking to get a Kiwi in to the side, I'd be looking <snip - Rogue>

He's an opener and I needed a kiwi. The other spots I have left didn't quite suit given what I have to still pick up (or what I have in mind...).

Btw, want to be judge at the conclusion?

I do think it's best that we don't have poster suggesting players. Maybe the next person is going to pick X player anyway, but you'd be annoyed if you had your eye on players who keep getting pulled out from under you because of recommendations. Feel free to comment once they've been picked up, though!

I've still got a couple of gems in the works which I hope others have missed/forgotten about and I don't want that ruined! My team is struggling enough.

We may be thinking of the same couple of gems....

Technically I didn't name names. :P

Nonetheless, the bottom of the barrell hasn't been reached yet re: NZ. (Can I say that?)

Me three.

You sure can.

However, I think the bottom was scraped from the NZ barrel by H_T :D

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
