Which allows us to pick up that hero of CW, Jacques Kallis

Hussey's interesting considering his injury

If HDS is happy, I feel that Mahendra Singh Dhoni will make a good pick as wicket-keeper and batsman.

Yeah mate. Pretty damn happy with that considering where we were in Round 1.

 

[centurymaker]

M0rphin3 has been disqualified

 

[Blaze 18]

Morphin's six hours are up.

Our next pick is Umar Gul .

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Brett Lee. It looks like he's in decent form and with Aussie's bowlers getting crocked by the second, I reckon he'll play most games.

 

[marc71178]

Tillekeratne Dilshan

 

[centurymaker]

Tillekeratne Dilshan

[Blaze 18]

kk - Are we reversing after this round and randomising thereafter, or taking it in turns to go first, as done in this draft?

Kingkallis, can you please give an answer for this ?

 

[NUFAN]

Tillekeratne Dilshan

Thanks Marc for getting in quickly. Dilshan should do well especially against the weaker teams IMO.. Hopefully he gets a few strike rate bonuses.

 

[G.I.Joe]

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that Yuvraj first up for Blaze_18/smalishah18's team was a great pick.

Haha, seems I got it spot on on CS.

FTR, my reasoning was that 30 runs + 1 wicket a game = 60 points.

Tendulkar (or a similar batsman) averaging 60 runs a game = 60 points.

They're practically the same outcome as far as the points system goes (discounting for bonuses, of course).

 

[kingkallis]

Kingkallis, can you please give an answer for this ?

Lets randomize and reverse. Is that ok?
