Asian all-time Draft thread

[Zinzan]

Yeah, Afghanistan should be part in an Asian XI, not that any will be chosen.

 

[mr_mister]

Lol, you gotta be the most sensitive-to-feedback draft-manager/thread-starter in all history

You got all prickly & defensive with my feedback last draft too, yet started this one with a 'promise to run it better' comment which I can only assume was a concession of sorts.

A concession I didn't update the selections often enough yes. But you're literally bringing up something of no importance dude, it bugs me

 

[Zinzan]

Lol, well it didn't turn out to be importance in this case, but had a certain Wasim Akram never been born, I might have been claiming a technicality

 

[Shady Slim]

early picks a huge advantage here

 

[mr_mister]

That is true. Just be happy you got one Zin

 

[Zinzan]

early picks a huge advantage here

They are in some a lot more than others. In some being last and getting the first double pick can actually be pretty good. But yeah with FA great pace bowlers, it's a big advantage in this one.

I've had rotten luck with orders in round 1 in the past, so nice change for me

 

[Coronis]

Tossing up between a few.... guess I'll go with Ahktar.

 

[mr_mister]

Teuton > smali > jimmy

 

[Teuton]

After debating handy vs god-like, I'll go with god-like:

Sachin Tendulkar

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah haha I was wondering how long we'd slowly choose crappier and crappier pacemen til someone said **** it I want Sachin

and now I have my answer

 

[Zinzan]

A novice would assume we really rate Sachin as the 4th best Asian cricketer................. when of course he's really 3rd

 

[smash84]

There were a few options to go with but I suppose the 2nd greatest Asian cricketer (according to some) would do just fine.

Muttiah Muralitharan

 

[jimmy101]

Fazal Mahmood

 

[mr_mister]

Shady, then me, then honestb

 

[Noble One]

I will be opening the bowling with Venkatesh Prasad and Mohammad Sami at this rate.

 

[smash84]

I will be opening the bowling with Venkatesh Prasad and Mohammad Sami at this rate.

Ishant might still be available, and he's better than Sami

 

[Shady Slim]

was going to try and snag murali, and i am gonna regret this choice down the track but i'm not taking the chance of him not being available, especially considering that this guy was one of my favourite childhood cricketers, and easily the best seamer from his country (imo)

Chaminda Vaas

 

[Burgey]

How come Nepalese players have bee excluded here?

 

[Shady Slim]
