ODI Mystery Draft

[Flem274*]

NZ would have been a piece of piss tbh. Just load up on bowlers.

 

[Spark]

Nathan Bracken

 

[Somerset]

Any chance of an updated list of picks? I'm pretty sure I can pick my final Indian player but just want to be sure that 10 other Indians have been selected already.

Flem & Somerset to pick for round 10.

 

[Athlai]

Was just coming to this thread to do that. Huzzah less work for me.

 

[ankitj]

Don't see any good choices left among the West Indians. I will take Darren Bravo

The team finally looks like this:

Shane Watson
Jesse Ryder
Brian Lara
Mohammad Yousuf
Darren Bravo
MS Dhoni (wk) (c)
Eoin Morgan
Neil Johnson
Dale Steyn
Cameron Cuffy
Lasith Malinga
​

An all pace bowling attack. A deep batting lineup with an able bat in Neil Johnson batting at no. 8.

 

[salman85]

Can i make my final pick now?I need a WI player and i'm too lazy to check if everyone has already picked theirs.

 

[Athlai]

You can't one other person needs a West Indian.

It's Shri. Who incidentally can make both his picks now.

 

[salman85]

Shri is like the Japan of Cricket in this draft.

And plus we had all agreed to abuse him,no?

 

[Athlai]

Shri has a pretty gun attack IMO, likely to have the worst batting though.

 

[ankitj]

Can I change my last pick?

 

[Shri]

Wavell Hinds and Tatenda Taibu

Team: Aus / Ind / Eng / Pak / WI / NZ / SL / RSA / Minnows 1 2 3

1. Tamim Iqbal [BAN]
2. Wavell Hinds [WI]
3. Kevin Pietersen [ENG]
4. Virat Kohli [IND]
5. Tatenda Taibu (+) [ ZIM]
6. Kevin O'Brien [IRE]
7. Daniel Vettori (C) [NZ]
8. Ajantha Mendis [SL]
9. Shoaib Akthar [PAK]
10. Allan Donald [RSA]
11. Glenn Mcgrath [AUS]

Pros: Best bowling attack of all teams. Lots of sides have 4 main bowlers and an okay-ish 5th/6th bowler whereas I have chosen 5 bowlers with the perfect blend of attack and defensive options.

Cons: Bit light on batting but every one picked will play at their best positions. With that bowling attack, this batting order doesn't have to chase a big total 99% of the time.

 

[Shri]

Shri has a pretty gun attack IMO, likely to have the worst batting though.

Got Tamim, KP and Kohli in the batting dept tbf.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah they're all pretty good but most teams should have at least their equal. Doubt many will have as good an attack though.

 

[Flem274*]

Jason Gillespie

Chris Gayle
-
Ricky Ponting
Inzamam ul Haq
Hershcelle Gibbs
Virender Sehwag
Alec Stewart
Heath Streak
Kyle Mills
Jason Gillespie
Muttiah Muralidaran

Can I pick my last Aussie now?

 

[Athlai]

Yes

 

[Flem274*]

Matthew Hayden

The Squirts

Chris Gayle
Matthew Hayden
Ricky Ponting
Inzamam ul Haq
Hershcelle Gibbs
Virender Sehwag
Alec Stewart
Heath Streak
Kyle Mills
Jason Gillespie
Muttiah Muralidaran

Pros: My team is awesome
Cons: Would have liked a better fifth bowler than Gayle/Sehwag. I considered Ian Harvey, but he's a number eight bat at best and I'd rather keep Heath Streak there.

 

[Athlai]

Hayden is such an amazing round 11 pick. Australia hax! Can't rate your team now.

Also having 4 openers is a little iffy IMO.
