Current English County Cricket Draft

[Dan]

Azharullah
Will Beer


Azharullah has burst onto the scene in England with his yorkers, making him the most successful bowler in the FLT20. Beer, on the other hand, is a promising young leg-spinner who can bat a bit, making me rate him quite highly.

Now should be the fun part of the draft. Trying to rag together a squad with good variety and able to compete over the 3 formats. Trying to find some unheralded gems.


Howe_zat or Andyzaltzhair you're up. I'll give you a couple of hours, if not I'll have to go to keep this going.

Is the aim to pick a squad you like or the best squad?

 

[Cabinet96]

Wayne Madsen - Squad short of a solid top order option and went with Madsen. Carried the Derbyshire batting last couple of years. At 29 should be just about reaching his peak.


4 day - Lumb, Jaques, Madsen, Trott, Morgan, Stokes,....,Wright,Kerrigan, Finn, Richardson, (Stevens, Thomas)
40 over - Lumb, Trott, Jaques, Stevens, Morgan, Stokes, ....., Thomas, Finn, Wright,..... (Kerrigan, Madsen, Richardson)
20 over - Lumb, Trott, Stokes, Stevens, Morgan,...., Thomas, Finn,Wright,.....,......


Looking for in the last four rounds - Keeper, Batsman who keeps, Left arm fast bowler, Second spin bowler (maybe i shouldn't divulge this but w/e). Got my list of players with a few options for each. Hope I manage to pick from the list.

 

[Dan]

Howe (catch-up), AZH (re-selection) and Marcuss (draft order) are all up.

[91Jmay]

Azeem Rafiq. Need a specialist T20 spinner, and he will do nicely as he can bat a little bit as well. 11 wickets in 2012 and 14 this year at a low economy rate.
