Diminishing Draft - Grand Finale

[CricAddict]

I have taken the top 4 teams in the voting thread and also made a special addition for All-conditions All rounders based on the team winning in the simulation.

Please vote for 2 of these 5 teams to decide the final winner and runner-up.

My vote goes to @trundler and @Patience and Accuracy+Gut for drafting well balanced Test teams.

Ankit drafted a fine team but I don't feel like voting for a team that is forced to bats VVS at No.7. The all conditions all rounders team is very interesting but sorry can't consider it to vote in a draft where more successful openers and bowling units are competing.

6 more days to go. Looking for more voters, especially those who played in the draft.

Having finished 6th in the voting and 6th in the Sim, I'm disappointed we are only voting for one of 5 teams.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

We might need to have another vote with just the top 3.

 

[ataraxia]

Oops, my vote made it closer.

 

[CricAddict]

Wow this is so close.

 

[CricAddict]

Sorry L&L. That's unlucky but we had to cut the list at some point and I've given the explanation for it in the op.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

We might need to have another vote with just the top 3.

Or a 3-way draw.

 

[CricAddict]

We might need to have another vote with just the top 3.

I hope someone votes before close and we have clear winner. Another round of voting will be a bit too much of it.

If they are not separated when the voting closes, will just declare them as joint winners.

I was abstaining as one of the contestants but happy to give my tie breaker vote to Trundler - only one from top 3 who got my vote in initial round.

Was only jesting. Mid-field is my usual ranking in drafts.

 

[kingkallis]

I think @trundler drafted a better team there

 

[anil1405]

Trundler
Patience

Likewise I voted for Ankit and Kingkallis in round 1 so they get my vote here too

 

[kingkallis]

Congratulations @trundler ?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Wow very close. Congrats to all esp Trundler

 

[honestbharani]
