'Flash in the pan' ODI XI draft.

[jimmy101]

Yeah, he wont be back. The current NZ team is too strong to need to recall him.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Most of the mercenaries are somewhat flash in the pan wc players.

Red Hill (x3) & Quincy (x2) to catch up.

 

[aussie tragic]

Rossouw hasn't retired yet, has he?

On that note, is Jesse Ryder officially retired?

So can we just pick players who we think will never be selected for ODI's again? There are many Australian players who are currently playing that won't be picked again, but have not officially retired

 

[jimmy101]

Good point, I was kinda hoping to avoid grey areas such as this. I mean, Peter Siddle anyone? Six months ago it would have been fair to say he's done as far as ODIs go.

Considering Rossouw is now a Kolpak I'm fine with that pick. Ryder on the other hand isn't as cut & dry.

Would love to hear what others' thoughts are.

 

[aussie tragic]

If you asked Tim Paine 12 months ago would he ever play for Australia again....

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Can we just go by when they officially retire?

Like Dwayne Bravo retired

 

[jimmy101]

Can we just go by when they officially retire?

Probably a good bet. Everyone cool with this?

 

[aussie tragic]

Yeah, Shane Watson a good example. Officially retired from Internationals but still hitting 100's on the T20 circuit

 

[Fuller Pilch]

He no longer has a FC contract in New Zealand, I'd say he's as good as retired.

None of the 6 major associations in NZ will give him a contract (I guess they 'retired' him). He's playing club cricket in Napier though.

If he's not considered eligible let me know, and I'll pick again

 

[aussie tragic]

I guess real 'flash in the pans' don't get to announce their retirement.

I'm happy with any player that is no longer playing top level cricket in their home country (as then they are not eligible for ODI selection)

I'm happy to let it stand, however, if anyone has a compelling argument against Jesse feel free to post.

Okay cheers

 

[aussie tragic]

Just a thought, if someone times out, no problem, however if they time out twice in a row can we just skip them until they come back?

This means Quincey and Red Hill should be timed out now instead of waiting 24 hours

 

[jimmy101]

Pretty sure Quincy has timed out only once as it stands.

 

[aussie tragic]

Pretty sure Quincy has timed out only once as it stands.

I was just going off your post

 

[jimmy101]

Yeah, he timed out once and currently has a pick due.

 

[aussie tragic]

Ok, so he timed out 12 picks ago, has not been seen since and we will patiently wait our 8 hours. Got it.

 

[aussie tragic]

You know what, I'm sorry to stink up this thread with my timeliness. I'm out so the following are all available again

Rick Mckosker
Steve Smith
David Hookes
Ian Harvey
Ryan Harris
Jason Gillespie
