The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

[Burgey]

Be better off picking a wicketkeeper than an engineer ffs.

 

[TheJediBrah]

can't play without Pant anymore.

You sound like my boss

 

[Gob]

You sound like my boss

I thought you were unemployed

 

[Coronis]

Players who don’t meet general statistic requirements. (20 innings batted, 2000 balls bowled.)

Barry Richards
Sid Barnes
Stewie Dempster
Duleep
Brad Hodge
Daryl Mitchell
Ashraf Ali+
Mike Procter
Rashid Khan
Bob Massie
Scott Boland

Tried to veer away from one or two test wonders and tried to stick with blokes who were full front time bowlers rather than just go with best averages. Possibly the biggest omission is Jack Russell? But screw it I wanted Dempster (even if not opening) and Hodge in there.

 

[Shady Slim]

I think he'll get there but between his so far very limited longevity and shoddy keeping (particularly early on) I'm still picking Engineer.

nah pant's a hack lol

 

[OverratedSanity]

I think he'll get there but between his so far very limited longevity and shoddy keeping (particularly early on) I'm still picking Engineer.

Pant's keeping has been fine for a while now. And most of Engineer's success came as an opener. Unless you want to drop Sehwag it doesn't make much sense to pick him tbh.

 

[Coronis]

On second thought yeah sorry Brad but I’ll replace you with Jack Russell, 203* with 300 in his other 10 innings vs 5 tons doesn’t cut it.

 

[Prince EWS]

Pant's keeping has been fine for a while now. And most of Engineer's success came as an opener. Unless you want to drop Sehwag it doesn't make much sense to pick him tbh.

Yeah but his career is already very short, so we're talking about an even shorter period of him actually being a reasonable keeper. Like I think it's almost inevitable he gets there but if he stopped playing now it's a no from me.

And I think I do want to drop Sehwag lol.

He's a far better batsman than Dhoni can ever hope to be in his dreams though (in tests).

 

[Howe_zat]

Is this batting line up good or it needs a specialist at 6 ?

Sehwag
Gavaskar
Dravid
Tendulkar
Kohli
Dhoni
Jadeja
Kapil
Ashwin
Zaheer
Bumrah

You’ve left out Stuart Broad

 

[TheJediBrah]

If you're going to pick a keeper to open the batting it should be Nayan Mongia

 

[honestbharani]

You’ve left out Stuart Broad

Like he deserves to be.

 

[bagapath]

[Red]

[OverratedSanity]

You’ve left out Stuart Broad

He unironically wouldn't make it anymore

 

[ImpatientLime]

christmas xi (born between the 24th and 31st of december)

alastair cook
marcus trescothick
joe root
brad hodge
travis head
shimron hetmyer
matthew wade (wk)
kyle jamieson
piyush chawla
matthew hoggard
simon jones

hm: junaid khan, evin lewis, andy balbirine

 

[ataraxia]

Clarrie Grimmett >= Piyush Chawla imo

 

[Sunil1z]

If Broad with bowling average of 39 in Asia is making India’s ATXI then Sehwag is also making English ATXI as an opener.

 

[ImpatientLime]

haha the list i used clearly wasn't exhaustive.

or i am a terrible judge of cricketer.

pick both imo
