Pete's Draft Pick Nag thread

[skully]

Pete must actually be getting some rare sleep.

[WideWally]

I'll pick Frankel.

[skully]

Black Cav?

[embee]

Cat in a Hat

[skully]

Has 36Red been turned in glue yet?

[embee]

I think RD is still buying her a root ...

[skully]

not even Ninjas know how to use race horses as tools of assassination

The Daylight Deprived Internet Forum Police are losing their rep.

[skully]

The DPIFP ay, bg??

Which posters have such badges?

[PeterCS]

The Elders.


and FYI Skulls: I don't pick nags.

Only champion thoroughbreds, who would also combine well in harness!

[skully]

Morning Sunshine. And fark you for picking Davo. He was my next man, and the grousest of grouse all-rounders after Sobers. Sterling pick, old bean.

[baggygreen]

Must thank Mark Cavendish for the DDIFP name, it is rather awesome

[PeterCS]

Skulls:

I thought so too. And he was a guy who would battle on through tiredness and niggles to produce matchwinning performances with ball or bat - with a positive, optimistic spirit in spite of a long face and moans! - which is actually what I am also going for with all my picks, apart from pure talent.

(Example: I considered Greg Chappell, but for all his runmaking, a bit of an iceberg teamwise. And of course, there are a lot far worse than him - bellyachers and rattle-throwers!)

[skully]

Aye Pete, you nabbed a good one there. One of the most underrated players in the history of the game, but his record compares more than favourably with Wasim Akram's.

[PeterCS]

Was also looking for a LA seamer as part of my team's attack, to slant across. (Am I putting too much thought into this? )

And I realised almost all of them have been injury-prone. Odd in some ways - you'd imagine left-armers would just be a mirror image of right-armers. But many of them have had awkward delivery strides, not sure why that should be so. None weirder than Wasim Akram's: feet pointing in almost diametrically opposite directions.

8.00 am London time. WTF are you, Pete???

[skully]

Give us another name after Andy Roberts, Pete.

[PeterCS]

Yer what? Is it my birthday, for a double pick? (both nostrils?)

Here is your answer, if you'd bothered to read it - it was on the end of your own "calling bg" thread:

Why? Baggy's got a match to watch, no doubt a great big bag of green lunch to eat ... .

I'm finally off though .... mad as I may be, I can't hang around any longer.

So no "Calling PCS" threads please - blame the Bagster for my keeping you waiting!

Question: WTF was I?
Answer: I was F getting up.

You picked Eddie f*cking Paynter though, didn't you?

I think I'm getting mind raped. By the lot of you. Every single pick I want goes. This is just like schoolyard footie.

[PeterCS]

See it as an opportunity.

[Brass Monkey]

I'm hoping against all hopes. I've got one particular resort left.

[PeterCS]

Skegness?

[PeterCS]

btw: You can have Con de Lange, Gareth Batty and Chris Tavare' too.

Don't say I never gave you nuffink.
