OMG :grinning:
These 2 we're the quick choices with 3 pending picks, not the best wc to pick them and certainly not the best time but still a decent performance in those.

Felt how the draft has gone so far it might be the only chance I can have them.

And when Yash picks Wasim right before 1992 :tongue:

1. :ind: :bat: Virender Sehwag (2011)
2. :saf: :bat: Herschelle Gibbs (1999)
4. :ber: :bat: David Hemp (2007)
5. :aus: :bat: Ross Edwards (1975)
6. :aus: :ar: Andrew Symonds (2003)

9. :zim: :bwl: Paul Strang (1996)
10. :eng: :bwl: Phil Edmonds (1979)
11. :wi: :bwl: Patrick Patterson (1987)

So for 1996 I've picked :zim: :bwl: Paul Strang - a really left-field pick, but he topped Zimbabwe's batting (52 runs for only once out) and bowling (12 wickets @ 16.00) averages in the tournament, and that kind of performance is really hard to argue with. It means I've got two and a half spinners, which is a little more than I was expecting; if I want to add to my two and a half seamers, then that seamer is going to have to bat in the top four. Not quite sure that'll work out really, because obviously Ryan ten Doeschate is already gone.

Anyway, 2007: :ber: :bat: David Hemp - A bit of a left-field pick, but I still vividly remember how effortless his innings was against India, even as the rest of the team crumbled around him like the plaster on my living room wall. Of course it's a bit tricky picking a non-Irish Associate from this tournament because they only played three games, but all the way through we've put our trust in vibes and I see no reason to change that system.

And for 2011, it's :ind: :bat: Virender Sehwag. An easy choice here: he averaged nearly 50 opening the batting in this tournment, at a strike rate of 120+. Easiest pick in the world.

So it turns out I had an outstanding pick for 1996. I'm pretty sure someone mentioned this to me previously too.
