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.

Doug Bracewell (NZ)

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.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
