Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2018

Do we have trading period?

Do we have trading period?

Well we theoretically had one last yr but drafting teams on a single scoring currency doesn't lend itself to trades and none were even close in my recollection.
So if people want it I'm happy to allow for it but i am not expecting much if any movement.

and as kk implied, jimmy you will need to pick again as Latham was gone some time ago.

 

[randycricfreak]

Im not sure if I will be able to login for sometime,

I'd like to pick Brendan Taylor as long as he's classufied as a keeper,pretty sure Vitalogy and jimmy have picked their keepers.If they can pick,its fine to have him.

Taylor FYI used to play as a keeper in his most reccent games for Zimbabwe in LOIs, so dont think it should be a problem

 

[anil1405]

If Taylor was classified as a keeper I would've picked him in one of the earlier rounds.

 

[Teuton]

Taylor is classified as a MOB as he hasn't kept for some time and he's played as a specialist bat since returning to Zimbabwe.
But yeah if you are going to be offline for a while now please leave a different pick (or accept Taylor as a MOB),and maybe a backup

 

[vitalogy83]

Amir

I think he’s still a free agent? Any reason he hasn’t been picked yet? Injury etc ??

 

[Teuton]

Presumably you mean Mohammed Amir. He was picked some time ago

No reason, he was picked a long time ago.

 

[randycricfreak]

If Taylor was classified as a keeper I would've picked him in one of the earlier rounds.

Same here, would have done the same. Ideally two rounds before.

Pretty sure he's keeping here..

SA-XI 60/3 (22.0 ov, T Bavuma 36*, T Bokako 1*, CB Mpofu 1/2) - Stumps | Match Summary | ESPNCricinfo

 

[Teuton]

I don't doubt that he has the ability to keep, I just want to classify everyone as close as possible to the role they have played in the majority of their international games over the past year, and since he has played as a specialist batsman in 100% of his international matches for the past year or two that is what he is classified as.

So let's move on and make some picks.

In any case there is no shortage of keepers either.

 

[Teuton]

Also if it helps anyone here is a list of players still available, updated to include scores from the year so far (up until end of the 3rd Ashes test), and a handful of very recent debutants.

[Pup Clarke]

Are you allowed to pick players from outside the players list?

 

[randycricfreak]

I don't doubt that he has the ability to keep, I just want to classify everyone as close as possible to the role they have played in the majority of their international games over the past year, and since he has played as a specialist batsman in 100% of his international matches for the past year or two that is what he is classified as.

So let's move on and make some picks.

In any case there is no shortage of keepers either.

Pretty sure he kept wickets in his most recent ODI game i.e the WC 2015 for Zimbabwe and will continue to do so in WC Qualifiers.I'm pretty sure we had a larger pool of keepers last year.

 

[vitalogy83]

FFS I really need to pay more attention. OK James Faulkner

 

[vitalogy83]

Sorry can I change that to Roston Chase please?

 

[randycricfreak]

Either ways will pick Shaun Marsh

[randycricfreak]

Shaun Marsh has been picked by Vitalogy83.

So I'd settle with Dhananjaya De Silva.

I picked him last year after his wonderful performances with the bat in 2016, but had a poor tour to SA and since has been in and out of the side. More recently in the 4th quarter,comes up with an elegant match saving 100 vs India after having him dropped during the final minidraft

So hopefully this time my selection won't jinx this amazing young test bat talent
