Loving ataraxia's seam attack. Two first rate spinning all-rounders in Mankad and Faulkner give his bowling a nice balance too.

His batting top order is bolstered by Headley and Walcott and, with MDM coming in as low at #10 there's a good depth there too, but other XIs maybe have better openers and more powerful 5-8 engine rooms.

Pothas's seamers are almost as impressive and his top order has a more solid look but dear old Headley Verity only has the very part time wrist spin of Mitchell and Leyland for support.

Ankitj has a strong looking top order, a nice balance provided by his Aussie all-rounders and, that SF Barnes was quite the bowler too...

KK has an impressive depth to his batting, with Lol Larwood a very decent #10, but his bowling possibly not as strong as that available to some of the other selectors with Grieg's or Goddard's mediums presumably being first change.

It's close, but can't go past ataraxia for this one.

@Himannv it was a fun draft even though I was robbed off Marshall and Worrell lol
I think that aspect took away any advantage of first pick, which was an intended thing. I wanted people to rejig their sides and take risks to get better players.

However, I think on hindsight, I should probably have banned Marshall as he's like the best fast bowler of all time in a pool where there aren't that many fast bowlers available.

Congrats @ataraxia a well deserved victory and thanks @Himannv a nicely run draft and whilst it didn't fundamentally affect the drafts, I thought the pictures were a nice touch too
Cheers, mate. I did have fun organizing this - which is a change from the norm as I normally prefer to just play.

Maybe there'll be a Draft of the Living or something if people like the draft structure.
