Associates ODI draft

[Migara]

I was actually keen to see @Migara in this. Interested in which historical Sri Lankan players he'd select.

Mahadevan Sathasivam, as good as Tikolo if not better,
FC de Saram, who was a fine batsman, and only one of few batsmen who took Clarrie Grimmet to the cleaners
CI Ginasekara, once again a swashbuckling batsman, this time climbing on to Lindsay Kline
Finally "Banduwood", who bowled identical to Underwood, may be touch slower, but lot savage with the revs on the ball.

@Migara will you be able to take up FP's team and play?

oh **** Campbell is a good pick. Didn't know he was eligible lol

I was thinking for a long time between Campbell and Odoyo. Was a fan of Odoyo during his playing days and so went with that option.

Sorry to hear but thanks for letting us know.

Would anyone watching like to take over Fuller's team?
He has Dave Houghton and Duncan Fletcher.

Will wait 12 hrs for any takers, who can make their R3 pick straight away.

Then I am after that or if no one else takes over the team.

Hamid Hassan.

Why is round 4 not the reverse of round 3?

Why is round 4 not the reverse of round 3?

I mentioned at the start of the draft that to compensate for the first few pickers having access to the small group of top players, R3 would be a repeat of R2, (and reverse of R1 of course). Then the alternating round pairs will begin with R4, with random draws in Rounds 6, 8 and 10.

 

[CricAddict]

All picks in round 1 are actually good according to me. The draw has been quite unfair on me with me having to pick almost last in 3 consecutive rounds. I don't think that's fair especially in the initial rounds.

 

[Pothas]

Nah the top 4 or 5 are way ahead of the rest.

 

[CricAddict]

Nah the top 4 or 5 are way ahead of the rest.

I don't agree but whatever.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

two key World Cup title winners vs Roy Dias and Paul Stirling. Obviously a huge difference.
