Budget Draft: Bargain Hunt

[ddrap14]

Alright, so what was my plan again? Oh yeah. Uhh. I got 30 points, which is enough for...

Handy with the bat, but primarily, absolutely terrifying with the ball. Malcolm Marshall joins my team. If he's taken, it's bc the index is screwed up

Whoops been busy at work recently. I’ll bring in Young Jack Hearne for 8 points

Will give @Welwyn a little longer before taking my pick

Jack Russell was often overlooked by England, and thankfully for me he's been overlooked in this draft. He was usually left out so Alec Stewart could keep wicket and balance the side in the absence of a genuine all-rounder. But he was also left out at different times for Richard Blakey, Steve Rhodes and Warren Hegg. Absolutely outrageous.

It was felt Jack's batting wasn't good enough, but his average of 27.10 with 2 hundreds and 6 fifties was, pre-Gilchrist, absolutely fine for a wicketkeeper in his era. And, he was capable of this.

He will bat 8 in this team, giving us lower-order solidity on top of truly world-class goat-level keeping.

1 Roy Fredericks (22)
2 Gordon Greenidge (24)
3 Rob Bailey (0)
4 Stuart Law (0)
5 Raman Lamba (0)
6 Adrian Kuiper (0)
7 Fred Grace (0)
8 Jack Russell (7)
9 Richie Benaud (27)
10 Ezra Moseley (7)
11 -

87 points used, 13 remain. I am very very very happy with this team.

@CerealKiller (or @Aislabie if still caretaking) is up.
