Hildreth is probably a better player than a lot of guys picked before him, but he only averages 34.8 over the last three seasons. Kind of depends how well the database does reflecting the fact Taunton has been a minefield in recent seasons.

Know he has good numbers but hard to get excited about Gannon when he has the filthiest action in the shield.
We considered Gannon, I quite liked the notion of him taking time off from killing me in BoTW to join the team
He's still played 20 ODI's (and IIRC mostly against decent opposition) so it shouldn't be that hard. There'll definitely be a hit yeah but hopefully him averaging 50 helps. It's more than several blokes picked ahead of him IMO.
This is the greatest post. I'm drunk and three hours from home but hopefully someone updates the OP for me. If not I'll do it in the morning.
I don't think anyone with even a quarter of a brain would doubt Pooran's a talent. Just a matter of whether it's one CPL too early for him, I guess. Hopefully the cunt will start playing FC cricket again
Ah someone already has. The other two: 10. Howe and Dan - Eoin Morgan (24598) 11. morgieb - Nicholas Pooran (604302)
So did my R4 + R6 pick, lol. Honestly thought for ages he'd be lost to the West Indian team in all formats.
