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.

  • 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.
