The No Ducks Draft

[ddrap14]

Bruce Dooland. A great spinner of his time, he ended up choosing the professional game over playing more than three Tests for his country, and ended up with over 1000 FC wickets at 22.

3. Stewie Dempster
4. Brad Hodge
8. Shadab Khan
9. Bernard Julien
10. Clint McKay
11. Bruce Dooland

Stan Nichols

Tests - 355 runs @ 29.58 (best 78*) and 41 wickets @ 28.09 (2 5WI, best 6/35) in 14 matches
First-class - 17,827 runs @ 26.56 (20 centuries, best 205) and 1,833 wickets @ 21.63 (118 5WI, best 9/32) in 483 matches

Stan Nichols was a phenomenal all-rounder in the interwar years for Essex and England. I currently have him pencilled in as a number eight because although he was capable of truly stellar innings, they did not occur all that often. He is selected first and foremost for his muscular fast bowling - his pace was undiminished despite providing service not only to Essex but also Queens Park Rangers into his late 30s.

1. Barry Richards
2. Raman Subba Row

@Neptune is next while @Yash. has a late pick

 

[Neptune]

Walter Lees has 1402 FC Wickets @ 21.40, handy enough for me to pick him

1. Herbie Collins
2. Jack Robertson

4. Walter Read

6. Lee Ervine
7. James Langridge

@Aislabie again

 

[Aislabie]

Pravin Amre

Tests - 425 runs @ 42.50 (1 century, best 103) in 11 matches
First-class - 5,815 runs @ 48.86 (17 centuries, best 246) in 86 matches

I have pencilled Pravin Amre in at number five for now, although he batted mostly at number six for India. A hundred on Test debut in Durban against an attack that included the terrifying duo of Allan Donald and Brett Schultz augured great things, but Amre's career ultimately suffered in comparison with those expectations - despite his average continuing to stand above 40, the poor decision that ended his fallow series against Sri Lanka also ended his Test career. He ended his career a domestic journeyman, playing for all sorts of Ranji teams as well as Boland in South Africa.

1. Barry Richards
