Looks like you got all your first choice picks eh

 

[qpeedore]

He's gotten pretty much all of them, bar a couple. ddrap is set to be one of the first to complete his team here.

 

[ddrap14]

I'd also like to say I've pulled off a blinder for the next one (unless someone else noticed what I did)

This link shows Miandad's overall average throughout his career in a nice graphical form. Literally never averaged below 50 in 189 innings.

I believe the only other player to achieve that in Tests, with a minimum of 15 Tests, is Herbert Sutcliffe, and he played much less than Miandad.

There must be a Rubel Hossain joke here; I''d be surprised if his average ever dropped below 70

 

[qpeedore]

Well, Ruebel and that Test average never fell below a high number. But he did take wickets for his team. Hmph.

I'm giving everyone a chance to rethink the only one choice I've been receiving so far, else this will be a round of nothing. Think hard, or gamble on your pick. Up to you.

 

[ahmedleo414]

You mean everyone is picking the same person? That's crazy

 

[qpeedore]

Pretty much EVERYONE is picking the same person. Except for one. Are you the one, that's the issue. Do YOU (not you specifically Cereal] need to change your pick or are you happy with what you have?

 

[qpeedore]

@ahmedleo414 just brought up a very valid point. I could have sworn that I did my research but there are exactly zero bowlers without a 5-for after 100 wickets.

The bowlers limit is reduced to 80 wickets without a 5-for as a result.

 

[ahmedleo414]

Just to confirm, is that a min of 80 wickets or a max of 80... because one of those results in only 1 pick

EDIT: actually both results in only 1 pick each

So we can send our picks again right?

 

[qpeedore]

Yes, if you've already picked then you can pick again. If you want...or you can take the gamble.
