Yes I’ve felt the pain it’s even worse for me because I picked last
After four picks you've got a damn fine nucleus of an ODI side there, if you ask me.

Kriterion really running the risk of missing out on Taibu & Razor Price now; which would leave him with Regis & Utseya?? I would imagine it will be hard to win a vote with those two fellas in your side


Eugene up next and I think I know who he will be selecting .....
Did I select who you were thinking? I am honestly surprised Taibu was still available, do people not remember how good he was?

I chose Tatenda as much to strengthen my team as to weaken my opponents. There is still a few good options for wicket-keeper out there, including a world-record holder.

I was going to do the same thing if he fell to me; as I’ve pointed out I can’t see how Kriterion wins with Regis or Coventry as keeper

No I wasn’t expecting you to take taibu at all

Yes you’re right FF; I guess it’s a case of looking at what others have and not being grateful for you have.

A good life lesson within a fantasy draft 🤔

I would have done the same in this round if not for you picking Tatenda, so I can understand that strategy :), although I would have instructed him to keep his reverse sweep at home before joining my team...

So, time to pick a personal favorite, finally. He happens to score a "Zimbabwean 100" more often than any other player in the last 15 years, indicating his consistency (one in less than 4 innings), and of late, has been finally successful in converting them too, and carrying the team home. Excellent strike rate, ideal no. 5, Sean Williams is pick my #19
