Season 2 Draft Discussion

[Cabinet96]

Worrying lack of quality left for so early on.

Mitchell Johnson

**** you!!!

Knew I should've picked him instead of Kohli

[Eds]

So many of my picks gone in the last 10 or so.

And it looks like Marcuss has won this already. Kallis, Shakib, Katich, Laxman, Philander, Yousuf etc.

[Spark]

Yeah it's pretty strong, but then again we thought that last time...

[Spark]

**** you!!!

I would sympathise with you had you picked almost anyone other than Kohli

This. Retentions not helping the new group - with 42 players retained, for the most part the best of last season, the people who have joined this time are at a distinct disadvantage.

Have no idea who to try and draft TBH.

Monty Panesar

Panesar is already taken.. by you in fact

Should let him change it to his round 4 pick

And Pews, you posted in the wrong thread

[morgieb]

So..is GIMP going for an English combo?

[Prince EWS]

So..is GIMP going for an English combo?

He did last season, and he did in CrabsPL.

[Howe_zat]

So..is GIMP going for an English combo?

He picked Joyce, so apparently not.

[Spark]

Played for England. Close enough.

[Johnners]

Just like to re-iterate how much I hate you Spark. Screwed everything up

Looking at last seasons stats, wtf was the go with the bowlers seemingly being slaughtered for the most part?

[Spark]

Haha if team balance lets me I might trade you afterwards for Patto. Everyone wins.

Aren't that many good, established bowlers going around basically. Will be a little better this year but only a little since they haven't had time to settle yet.
