[DRAFT 1] Kriterion_BD, eugene, CrimsonAvenger, jaybro

[CrimsonAvenger]

Yup, I was right. The two names I was toying with were Rawson and Rogers. I was sure whichever I'd pick, you'd pick the other. I too rate Rogers highly. Hmm, now the difficult task of fixing my top order...

[CrimsonAvenger]

OK, my pick #30 is Charles Coventry. I'm yet to decide whether I'll open with him or have him down the order for acceleration with Elton, but will go for him for sure. If not for so many stop starts, who knows what he could have become? And he averages pretty much the same as Vusi (24) but with much higher strike rate (88 vs 63). Has a higher List A average than Vusi too. And can help relieve Houghton off glove work occasionally if necessary.

Wow wild card selection there CA; I did have my eye on him for my finisher role down at 7 but wasn’t going to spend a higher pick on him.

I feel Kriterion had his eye on him as his keeper? This will almost certainly leave him with Regis or Mutumbami or maybe Murray?

Eugene is now left with a few options to open his batting; if I did indeed pick Vusi & Rogers and Crimson took let’s say Craig Wishart there wouldn’t have been many options left

We are very much on the same wave length CA

[CrimsonAvenger]

You would be shocked at the names I'm now having to consider for the remaining 3 slots. These are people who have left us cringing, and that they should never play for Zim again kind of guys, but well, we are left with such folks now. I'm sure others are in the same boat too...

Looks like that!

Yes it's crazy; guys with career averages in the low 20's are all that's left

There's some names being missed then. I can think of at least 3 guys off the top of my head I would not hesitate to pick.

With pick 31 I choose Vusi Sibanda. I was tempted to go with Wishart but ultimately I think Vusi is more talented and he did score 21 half-centuries in ODI cricket compared with 5 for Wishart.

Kriterion still has a great keeper to select, a world-record holding keeper.
