Busy times ahead. Hence pass. Unlucky for you that this superb draft is happening at such an unfortunate time where many draft regulars are pre occupied

the good thing about the Australian team, I'm sure after this draft if finished, we can probably do another draft and still come up with good teams without anyone that was picked in the first draft

I have to start the team with Ricky Ponting.

Ah sorry, I’ll pick Greg Chappell.
Averaging over 50 in any era is seriously impressive. In the 70s and early 80s it made you unquestionably great.

@Yash. missed his deadline, but I won't miss getting Adam Gilchrist in my team
Stats||Matches||Runs||HS|| Ave||100s/50s||Cts/Sts
First-Class | |190| |10,334| |204*| |44.16| |30/43| |756/55
Test | |96| |5,570| |204*| |47.6| |17/26| |379/37
A bit of bio from cricinfo:
"Going in first or seventh, wearing whites or coloureds, Adam Gilchrist was the symbolic heart of Australia's steamrolling agenda and the most exhilarating cricketer of the modern age. He was simultaneously a cheerful throwback to more innocent times, a flap-eared country boy who walked when given not out in a World Cup semi-final, and swatted his second ball for six while sitting on a Test pair. "Just hit the ball," is how he once described his philosophy on batting, and he seldom strayed from it. Employing a high-on-the-handle grip, he poked good balls into gaps and throttled most others, invariably with head straight, wrists soft and balance sublime. Only at the death did he jettison the textbook, whirling his bat like a hammer-thrower, caring only for the scoreboard and never his average. Still he managed to score at a tempo - 81 per 100 balls in Tests, 96 in one-dayers - that made Viv Richards and Gilbert Jessop look like stick-in-the-muds."
