Shadab was such a perfect pick structurally for what I was trying to do and I didn't have a contingency plan. There isn't a player on the board who was value available at that pick to play the role I wanted, so I had to change plans
4 weeks ago I thought Weathers was going to be dropped (and rightly so) from the SACAs. He's just extremely lucky that Greg Chappell is from SA and all the blokes scoring runs below him are on the wrong side of 25. Dreadful selection.
Yeah he maybe could've gone R16 or something but he should not be starting in a CPL side. Woeful pick. It's even worse when you consider he already had 3 openers + Sangakkara in the side too!
I'm about as much of a diehard South Australian as you can get and I wouldn't have considered taking Weathers this early. Then again, any cohesive approach I had has gone out the window, just picking cricketers I find vaguely interesting half the time now
Sorry @GAS for my dodgy info on when you were up - had 8hrs rather than 12hrs in my mind for Prez timing out.
Ehh, probably should have been a touch more diligent in remembering that sort of stuff myself. At least marc isn't here to give me a mouthful about something that doesn't involve or concern him at all
So the run on keepers finally happened. Rizwan, Sarfraz, Saha, Dowrich. Regret picking Dickwella so early with the quality that was left on the board late.
Can't exactly say I expected Jan Frylinck to be picked up this early, but I hope he absolutely guns it. Namibia forever
Frylinck’s a good quality bowler, offers left-arm which the rest of my bowling attack doesn’t and is a reasonable batsman. He played in the same U19 test setup as Rabada so the quality is there.
