Elgar at 2 for me. Will edit this post with more details later on.
I think it's
@Parth D next.
EDIT: Having a G to use for an opener was actually a pretty decent thing. I had the option of Chris Gayle, Gordon Greenidge, Gautam Gambhir, Graham Gooch, among others (and strangely enough, a lot of the opener G's are double G's)...there's a pretty damn good list of G's to choose from at the top of the order. But I had to go with Gavaskar. He has the best stats from the lot and he's one of the legends of the game.
His opening partner on the other hand was a bit more difficult. Despite the letter E being the most common English letter, the list of E's is surprisingly small. And I have three E's to deal with since my word is "GENERALISED". I took Fidel Edwards as my first pick because I believe that there are a couple of other people who have an E down at the tail and he may have been on their radar. Out of the list of E's, I picked him early on as a result. Like I was saying before, his stats don't befit what you'd really call an amazing bowler...but when he's in form he'll rip a batting order apart. It's not a "strong" pick, but I still think it's a good enough pick given the rules of the Draft. As for the other opener, Elgar was really the only one that I'm familiar with...I don't really have the time to do too much research into ye olde players of yore at the moment. I have more important real life stuff to consider. But this is helping me to take my mind off of things, in a way it's helping me to cope. I'll probably not make much sense for a good few days to come, so please just bear with me whenever it seems like I'm randomly ranting.
