So too for J.Bird, titan.

Nasher, if you're reading this I think he'll be a very good bowler for Australia for quite a while. Smooth action.

I was looking at Bird for a potential pick up at pick 70....

 

I know Ashwin didn't have a great tour of Australia last sumemr but for a young spinner his stats are very good.:

He's going at more then 5 wickets a match and with a batting average of 45 he'll be a very good player in time. Must have something to dislodge their previous number 1 off spinner. I wont name names....

I remember looking at his Cricinfo profile recently and the top news article for him was 'why England's spinners were better'. You might quibble that, but for a late pick Panesar isn't bad value. That said, Ashwin will be nearly as good a bat as batsmen people are selecting, so he's not a bad option at all when that's taken into account.

Ramnaresh Sarwan (Carribbean)

Pick 61.

Averages 40 in tests.

I'm happy with my attack.

Nervy about the batsmen.

Fwiw, players don't need to be in a team's best XI.

Do they need to get games in order to contribute?

Surely it doesn't help if they cant make test teams ?

Nest Pas?

Nest Pas?

This isn't a game based on points so it's quite possible a fringe player from one country will be a better choice for your team than a regular in a weak side.

Just realise I get dudded in this. 11 picks means 11 rounds which means one odd round where I get to pick last again. Woot. Thanks HT. Haha. I guess you all needed the assistance after I clearly picked the best team the last time we did this.

lol. Good point and good memory.

We could always pick a 12th man if it would make you happy....

 

Good call on the 12th man.

I bags Andy Bichel. Sorry I've been useless on my pick - will have to have a thinksy.

Haha. Too late to add a 12th man now IMO but I think I was pick 7 last time so I'm happy to take a mid range pick in Best XI #3 :P

Are you asking me to "fix" the next Best XI's draft order...Rogue how could you after what was announced yesterday!

:P

This had better be an impressive pick 45...

I know they can ask for extra time in the AFL draft, but 10 hours is ridiculous! haha. :P

Tino Best W.I.

No prizes for guessing how/why I chose him.


Tino Best W.I.

Because his name is Best? (I honestly don't know).

Nah don't worry about a 12th man. It's just the luck of the draw, unfortunately.

you might get the last pick, but the snake means your last two are 73 and 88 - my last two will be 80 and 81.

I thought you might have cost me TD.

Faf du Plessis (RSA).

Haha, just realised that you do have a bit of a tail there 45HG.

From 7-11 the line up would be Philander, Southee, Ohja, Hilfenhaus & Best.

On the flip side though you'll at least have a line up that should be able to land you 20 wickets.

Those two were on my immediate radar. Well researched. Miles behind Tendulkar though :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.

    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

    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.

  • 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.
