Weird, does it have anything to do with the tagged post being merged?

Lance Klusner is my pick

 

[Bevab]

@Aislabie still has an outstanding pick as does @Disharies (three in his case and so he gets passed over until he returns). Since the twenty four hour window has passed without me noticing I'm also tagging @Supreme General should he want to make his pick and continue the draft.

 

[Aislabie]

Dave Mohammed completes my spin attack with some incredibly fun left-arm wrist spin. I also think it's hilarious that out of all the West Indies cricketers out there, he is the one I'm going for. I stand by it though.

@Supreme General I think?

 

[Supreme General]

To partner Josh Hazlewood with the ball, I’ll pick Afghanistan’s Naveen Ul Haq

@Bevab your pick

Unfortunately he clashes with Munsey's Leicestershire in the Blast so you'll have to pick someone else.

He also clashes with his partner's Sydney Sixers.

I'm in awe of @mohsin7827 for keeping his team count fairly low whilst picking up excellent players for this very reason.

 

[Supreme General]

I’ll change tactic and pick Simon Harmer

Think this one is fine.

Now should I pick the big one and rule myself out of a number of teams or pick a low impact player again...

 

[Bevab]

I’ve gone for one of the lowest impact players possible that is still relevant at the high level in the end.

One of NZ cricket’s biggest mysteries is how Josh Clarkson still hasn’t been called up to play one token game for the national side despite being arguably the best active batter in the Super Smash at present and despite New Zealand rotating their squad heavily for the Pakistan apology tour during the IPL. It leaves me free to pick him without much baggage though and this bloke can bat, don’t be fooled by his lack of experience outside his country. He mostly bats at six for Central Districts as a hard hitting finisher and he’s got a wide range of shots but most importantly he also has the power to pull off those massive sixes. He can also bowl as a sixth option adequately enough if asked to but has cut down on that in recent seasons due to his injury proneness and Central Districts preferring to just use him as a pure hitter because he easily gets into the side as one. In any other country other than maybe England and India he‘d have been capped a long time ago.

To leave y’all with a show of what he can do, here’s a couple of highlights packages.

And here’s him hitting the ball out of the park.

@pillowprocter to continue the draft and @CerealKiller still has an outstanding pick to make should he choose to. If @pillowprocter does make his pick then @CerealKiller has got three picks to make.
