Adam Gilchrist
Need a wicketkeeper, preferably someone who can bat, and boy, Gilly could bat. I didn't want to be stuck without a quality wicketkeeper, because there is less of them than bowlers and batsmen, so good to get one early IMO.

Just like the West Indians rate Sir Viv or Lara as the second best test batsman of all time, the English rate Sir Jack Hobbs has the second best test batsman of alltime, some Aussies rate Matthew Hayden......................, we, Indians rate Sachin as the second best......, anything wrong in this? This issue can be debated to death- but I think this, maybe because I am an Indian. And this opinion will vary depending on which country you go.

Pick: Graeme Pollock
Reason: I have read a lot about him. People who have played against him seem to think he is arguably the greatest left handed batsman to have ever played the game. Even Bradman rates him as a great left-hander. Thats good enough for me.

jakester to make it easier on the guys that are about to pick can you make a list of all the players that were already chosen. something like metallics did in the ODI draft. in your 1st post just post the round one and all the players picked in that round and the same for 2nd all the ones after.

Yeh, that is a surprise. Works in my favour though. Allows me to pick the guy I wanted 
Pick: Sir Vivian Richards
Explanation: One of the greatest, if not the greatest batsman of his era. Blessed with superb hand-eye co-ordination and an attacking instinct that used to strike fear into bowlers around the land, for a man of average height he was an incredibly imposing figure at the crease as well. A legend of the game.

well there are plenty of good middle order batsman and not that many openers, I wanted to get at least one good opener and then work from there.
