ODI Auction Draft

[weeman27bob]

Some attack that.. and an ATG middle order to boot. Couple of FTBs as openers but hey, its ODIs.

I think the main questions left about my side are:

• Do I try and find a better 6th bowling option than Bevan, and if so do I try and find someone who can do that batting 3 or 4, or do I shift things up so Buttler and Bevan bat one place higher and have my other option slot in lower down the order?
• Do I go spin or seam for my fifth bowling spot?

 

[weeman27bob]

This is definitely going to be another round where someone get an absolute steal

Bevan at 4 and Buttler at 6 is still pretty good. Bevan had a half and half split between 4 and 6.

There definitely is a surprise, I must admit.

Well great, I can't sleep tonight now.

I think all comes down to who you get as your number 7. If it's someone who bowls well I don't think you really need a 7th bowling option.

Bevan and Buttler are batting in their ideal positions so I wouldn't change that.

 

[weeman27bob]

The other thing I've got no idea about is what order my bottom 3 bat in. Doesn't really matter but all essentially have the same averages.

 

[Himannv]

Without looking at the numbers, I think you've just about got it right. Maybe Deadly ahead of Waqar perhaps, I don't know. Doesn't matter much I guess.

It's weird, but I kind of like this team. My only gripe is Hollioake, I think I can live with all the others.

One of them ends up batting too high and one too low in the end anyway so it's all good. Would have Waqar at 9 as he could slog a bit.

It means you did not see that stunning straight drive off Glenn McGrath. Jr. Hollioake certainly was more talented.

 

[Red]

Just sent.

 

[anil1405]

This will take a bit longer as some of them have to resend their picks.

 

[anil1405]

Waiting for kk to resend his pics but apart from that everyone else have their first priority picks locked for this round.

 

[ankitj]

@kingkallis come on.

 

[kingkallis]

Sorry sorry guys. Sending it in 5.
