Restricted Draft - Voting

Van Der Bijl was an opener.. are you saying he was not good?
Nourse and May fantastic, Clarke very good, Azharuddin and Fredericks decent. Definitely not the best batting side but not too bad I would feel.
If you consider Jadeja 0.5 a bowler, do you say the same about Lillee too?

The problem is that we have to allocate points to each team. When you are giving 2,3,4 points - only negative points comes out of your mind and nothing positive. If you think of positives then the points looks a lot less in comparison with the efforts put in by the drafters hence it may look a bit negative. My apologies.

Whatever it takes!!!
No no, u r free to rate them the way you want. I was asking which factor you were considering: Was it that Van der Bijl was not a regular opener (coz he was) or that he was not that good as an opener (subjective, but obviously your call). I just wanted to know on what basis you said that was dragging my team down, that is all. :)

Oh no no I am not saying he was not good. He only played 4-5 games if I am not wrong hence I am not in favor of considering him as a VERY good openers the way others drafted theirs. van der Bijl and Melville both had good records at test level but they have very modest record FC records.

No qualms about the points mate. Just felt the 3.5 bowlers comment was very very inaccurate when I have 4.5 bowlers including WG.
