Great sides by everyone. I had fun and I hope you all did too.

 

[kingkallis]

I could not find any weakness in weldone's team. Stunningly balanced with players who represented their countries for years. Other two are OS and Watson.

Thanks mate

 

[watson]

I think that Honestbharani's and Mr_Mister's teams deserve votes. The teaming of Barnes and Murali, and an attack featuring Procter, Warne, and McGrath have to be impressive.

 

[mr_mister]

yeah and a lowest test batting average in the top 5 of 47 as well(and that's Kanhai who I thought this forum frothed over)

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah, mr mister a little unlucky. Coronis too.

 

[morgieb]

Tough to say, they all look very good. Weldone's looks a standout, but I'll need to think for the other two.

Thank you, but I think I'll never win a draft in cw simply because some people vote for the drafters they like and not the teams.

What an amazing waaaaahh.

Also patently false since I loathe everyone on the forum and still vote.

It's not true for all voters.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I was going to just put teams up unnamed and see who people actually chose. But I didn't so if you're right Weldone, it really sucks, because it's just a game.

So in other news AndrewB takes the lead but plenty of time and contenders still in it.

 

[jimmy101]

Zinzan, Watson & T.A.F.K.A. schearzie for mine.

Another quality draft idea. I imagine selecting a team in this draft would have been like putting together a puzzle.

Or they don't think your team is the best.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Or they don't think your team is the best.

Let's not make too much sense here.

 

[watson]

Let's not make too much sense here.

Creating and valuating cricket teams is not a wholly objective exercise. This is because cricketers are amazingly complex characters who play in such amazingly varied circumstances. It is not possible to inderstand all the stats against their name.

Therefore we have no choice but to rely on how we intuitively feel about a player or the team they're in whether we like to admit it or not.

Are Grace and Ranji really better than Greenidge and Sangakkara, or Trumper and Headley. God knows.

 

[weldone]

Or they don't think your team is the best.

There are both kinds of voters.

 

[Zinzan]

yeah and a lowest test batting average in the top 5 of 47 as well(and that's Kanhai who I thought this forum frothed over)

lol nah, comfortably you worst draft effort. Uncharacteristically out of whack.

 

[OverratedSanity]

You're supposed to vote for three teams not one ffs Zinzan

 

[The Battlers Prince]

One day left, three teams in the running barring an unforeseen voting frenzy.
