[Cevno]

I knew I threw it open with Gooch

I was evaluating the options you could pick and Gooch was one of them.

I was going like "I hope Marcuss picks Gooch" and you did.


Had a plenty of options to chose for ,few batsmen and a couple of bowlers .Donald was perhaps the best bowler available in the draft who has not yet been picked ,so was to hard to let go.
And i figured that I had a better chance of one of the batsmen remaining till my next turn ,than Donald who had next to nothing chance of remaining.

 

[Cevno]

So we are doing 11 rounds or 12?

Joe you did not make it clear.

 

[Shri]

12.

I was weighing a few options up. Had I not had Border to skipper my side, I might've gone for someone else
But I needed an opener and Gooch is a good bet.

Ladies in favour of 12 rounds -
Shrimati
Samantha
undone
queenkallis
Cevno

Real men -
GI Joe
Somerset
Noble One

As we all know (well atleast us men do, ladies do possess a smaller brain), universal franchise is a myth, and the ladies voting 12 rounds should be thankful they have the internet in the kitchen at all.

11 rounds it is.

 

[Himannv]

Joe is scared

The majority wants 12 rounds mein fuhrer!

 

[Jamee999]

Vote for 11 /biased

 

[Riggins]

12

 

[Himannv]

Is 12 hours up?

Edit: Ah I see there's a couple of hours more.

 

[honestbharani]

Picking now.. Can't believe my luck at this point, tbh..


So many players to choose from... Loving this.

 

[honestbharani]

And I thought CW was a democracy..


Lets try the sims without adjusting averages then.. WE will see who the real men are, right?

 

[honestbharani]

Probably stupid of me to hand the next player (I know for sure who will be picked) on a bit of a platter but I NEED this guy in my team.. Perhaps the last remaining Great batsman/keeper...


M S Dhoni..

Funny how I always seem to end up getting him in these drafts..


3rd Test: Pakistan v India at Karachi, Jan 29-Feb 1, 2006 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

 

[Himannv]

Easy call.

Dale Steyn

2nd Test: India v South Africa at Kolkata, Feb 14-18, 2010 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

 

[honestbharani]

Easy call.

Dale Steyn

2nd Test: India v South Africa at Kolkata, Feb 14-18, 2010 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

yeah was torn between him and Dhoni.. but I already got enough bowlers and good keeper/batsmen are gonna end up a rare species at this rate.. So picked him up when available.

 

[Noble One]

Andrew Flintoff

1st Test: South Africa v England at Port Elizabeth, Dec 17-21, 2004 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Not amongst the greatest all-rounders of all time, but only a level below.

 

[honestbharani]
