Cricket Team Draft - ODI edition

[G.I.Joe]

Puppy dog face > Computer nerd IMO. I'd pick Hogg over Vettori. I had Hogg pencilled in as my spinner right from the start, his absence has totally screwed up the balance of my side.

 

[Matt79]

Ah, sweet vindication...

 

[Nate]

Without a doubt, am choosing Shakib Al Hasan. WAG, and only getting better.

 

[Nate]

1)
2) Matthew Hayden
3) Shivnarine Chanderpaul
4) Jacques Kallis
5) Mohammed Yousuf
6) Jonty Rhodes
7) Shakib Al Hasan
8) Andrew Flintoff
9)
10) Nathan Bracken
11) Ajantha Mendis

 

[Nate]

Don't understand the fuss about Vettori. Average of 30 iirc. He's not bad, but he's far from a 'must-pick' imho.

 

[Nate]

pup11 has just under 12 hours for his two picks.

 

[Nate]

He came online, looked at five hundred different threads, I messaged him, goes offline. Pretty damn poor commitment.

Will be interesting to see if you get a keeper batsmen that can open. I guess Chanderpaul can open you could have a keeper batting as low as 8 if you want.

Nnanden - and I mean this in the nicest possible way - chill the **** out. I was pretty pissed off last weekend when I missed my go looking after a mate down Accident & Emergency. If you'd called it "Pretty damn poor commitment" then I would have hunted you down and ripped out your spleen. Pretty damn rude considering you have no idea what the guy's up to.

[NUFAN]

Interested in seeing what opening bat you go for HDS or what batting lineup you'd actually go for if batting second chasing a good 260 plus score.

Hmm..
1 Gayle 2 Anwar 3 Richards 4 xxxx 5 Symonds 6 Lloyd 7 Oram 8 [keeper] 9 Lillee 10 De Villiers 11 Chatfield.

or..

1 Gayle 2 Anwar 3 Richards 4 Lloyd 5 Symonds 6 Oram 7 [keeper] 8 [bowler/handy lower order bat] 9 Lillee 10 De Villiers 11 Chatfield

Shahid Afridi would have been a very gun number 7 or 8 for my side actually.

Dazza is up.

 

[NUFAN]

Also what should we do with Jamee?

I think we should let the person after Jamee pick straight away and not wait the 12 hours.

We should get someone to replace Jamee really.
