I don't deny McMillan was one of the greatest but better than Garry Sobers, which is what you were disputing? Nah.

To be honest, I think Id be putting another SA all-rounder in before Mcmillan if I had to pick a South African.

There's an Indian a Pakistani and an Englishman who'd get in before either of the two Saffers. If they don't show up in the first round draft I despair.

As I said opinions and all that... some will agree some won't.

Ooh, someone's swallowed a Wisden.

I have a feeling they true cricket connoisseurs (we know who we are) are going to be shouted down by the part timers in here. It's like Brexit and Trump all over again.

Since when has Sehwag been an all-time A-lister?

Aye there's a few fair I would have picked before a few picked already, but that's just me.

see Nick

Just because someone doesn't show-up in every thread known to man proclaiming to be the oracle it doesn't make him less knowledgeable about a subject.

If I started a draft on Astro-Physicists the same ignorant lard arses would sign up for it then complain when a Astro-Physicist offered their advice.

Spoiler

Just stick Ian Botham, Kapil Dev and Imran Khan down and be done with it.

Test cricket career alone should be used to judge.

Definitely goes in an all time India XI. There may be arguements about all time merits but so can be for many bar a few and his ability to score huge at a brisk rate, basically taking the game away from the opposition, has not been shown by many other openers consistently.

Oh we can talk about potential picks?

Love Sehwag, he was massive for India in India especially but personally wouldn't pick him first up.

Nobody knows how this is going to work so it's good you got who you wanted early on!

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #70 on:** November 16, 2016, 06:08:33 pm »

Wasim is a great pick. Was going to be my first choice but figured there are more top seamers than spinners to choose from.

Bonus points for being a Lancy legend too.

This is how a draft start's dragging in round 1.

Right picked someone my grandad calls THE best bowler he ever saw live.

You've just secured Yorky's vote no matter who you play. Arguably the greatest fast bowler ever, absolutely ferocious in his pomp.

Yeah well done Samie - not meant in a patronising way either!

I'll take patronising too mate. I never get a 'Well done" in drafts.

Would rate Kallis ahead of the 80's all rounders personally only debate is with the Pakistani one.

Let's get the ball rolling now. An hour time limit is it starting at 10?
