Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2019

[Teuton]

I have dropped Rankin too. And Wade slots into my WK category.

Yes thats correct, good to see you are all over that. I have updated my previous posts to reflect that.

 

[Teuton]

Ah okay good that we're on the same page

it's funny that AR is a term that is thrown at a batsman who bowls part time way quicker than at a bowler who scores useful runs.


Labbers and Denly ARs

Sam and Tom Curran both just FBs

Not being across the English domestic game, first i heard of Denly he was some sort of do-everything-spinning-allrounder they were considering for their WC spot. After seeing him in the ashes he's clearly a batsman whole bowls a bit.

And i think Labuschagne was talked about as being picked as the no 6 in UAE tests over some other contender because he could bowl plenty of overs of spin. but again in hindsight he is just a batsmn who can roll the arm over.

Its a bit of a dark art since roles evolve over time but i try to say an allrounder can bat in the top 6/7 and be good enough to be the 5th bowler in an ODI. lots of guys are grey area though so i just make a call and stick with it for the yr then re-evaluate for the next year's comp.

morgie can kick us off when ready. 8 hr time limit per pick but we have to finish by the end of the month.


Good luck to everyone in Q4 - can we catch they guy who hasnt touched his team all yr?

edit: clearly he was ready, pup is next

PFC has solid players for quarter 4 too. Some of them are set to play so many games.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Khaleel Ahmed

 

[mr_mister]

I'll go with Callum MacLeod, pending the answer to the question below:


The upcoming t20 WC qualifier tournament has international status right?

 

[anil1405]

To make things worse for Teuton ICC has approved international status (for T20's) to all of its member nations starting Jan 1, 2019.

Heh Anil, what year are we in?

I will take Marnus Labuschagne

 

[anil1405]

Did I say something wrong? I meant all of its 60 odd members. Not just the test playing nations.

Yes. Theyve been members for the last 9 months already. Jan 1 2019 like you said.

 

[anil1405]

Yeah I mean't that things have already started to get complicated for Teuton. It's just that there haven't been a bulk of T20 games that minnow teams have been playing, until now.

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah, it seems there will be little incentive to pick anything but minnow players if they're going to play a million t20s

 

[Teuton]

Yeah it did worry me going into the year. But I just had to add extra filters to the statsguru query to pick the main countries. If someone does pick a genuine outsider then I would have to adjust. If too many ppl pick them I would just make up a new rule

 

[Teuton]

And I will pick Neil Wagner

 

[anil1405]

Mark Adair

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah, it seems there will be little incentive to pick anything but minnow players if they're going to play a million t20s

I'll add to this you still need to make sure they're good players though

I'm sure most of the Aussie top 6 will gather more points this summer than most of the minnow batsmen in this upcoming tournament

 

[Pup Clarke]
