Drafts The Lucky Dip Draft | Time for Round Six

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Player S.

It's either SM or MA.

 

[Aislabie]

Because it's just guess work :P

Two of them are 50/50 shots if you do your research. One of them is an absolute wildcard risk that I wouldn't take.

With Round One complete, it's time to reveal the players! This pool was one of the weakest ones, and the only real missed opportunity here was Hashan Tillakaratne - Charlie Griffith would have been a great pick, but he made his first appearance in a year of many debutants so trying to pick him up would have been a huge risk.
