ODIs and Tests Combined Draft

[Thala_0710]

Jones to 3 in ODIs?

Don't go by the order written down here necessarily in the ODIs team for mine...
Barrington is an insurance policy against the openers failing... If Greenidge and Tendulkar give a good start (which they should on most occasions), then Jones comes in at 3 yeah

Final RXIS:

1. Yashasvi Jaiswal /
2. Travis Head / o
3. Ted Dexter (c) / o
4. Kumar Sangakkara /
5. Denis Compton / o
6. Shakib-al-Hasan / o
7. Brendan McCullum + /
8. Shaun Pollock o /
9. Peter Pollock o /
10. Bill O'Reilly o
11. Shane Bond o

Talented, aggressive batting from the top all the way down the order, would be a fun team to watch in Tests as well as in ODIs. To satisfy my inner @honestbharani it also has a mix of RH/LH batsmen and a stupid number of bowling options for the white ball games (including right- and left-arm finger and wrist spin). Lord Ted gets the captain's armband as one of the early pioneers of List A cricket who captained Sussex to the title in the first two List A tournaments held.

Aren't you overloaded with lefties in the top 6?

Errr... I choose to look at it as a 4/3 LH/RH split in the top 7.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one to have considered him then!

You should have picked Ross Taylor instead of McCullum

Surprised Taylor went unpicked given he was great in both formats! But I didn't want Sanga to have to keep (for Test format at least) so I was specifically looking for another keeper. Plus I thought my ODI side needed some more firepower more than it needed more ballast. Also I didn't think of Taylor.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

My biggest regret was not picking Colin Bland. He was the first player I thought of at the start of this draft - basically Jonty with much better batting and thus an amazing ODI option, but then incredibly Aubrey Faulkner was still available so I decided to pick one of the greatest allrounders of all time and then had no space for Bland, but I'm really surprised no one else picked him.

I strongly considered Taylor but that would have meant batting one of Taylor, Chappell, Hussey or Rice out of position at 3 in my test team

@capt_Luffy Time for a voting thread? As some have given batting orders for both Tests and ODI, I think only one order )Test) should be listed in voting.

Since both formats are being considered 50/50 with voting, why should only the test order be included?

Because not everyone posted a line-up for both formats. The X! remains the same for both and I think participants can envisage any necessary batting line-up changes.
