Season 2 Draft Discussion

[Furball]

Cheer up, you've got the best player in the comp.

Since when did Cevno have Dale Steyn?

 

[Johnners]

MS Dhoni.

Time to get a keeper before all the good ones go.

PEWS to spontaneously combust

Kumar is probably better because he has close to Sachin's batting stats and can keep.

 

[Prince EWS]

Realistically Kallis should trump them all but he randomly played like arse last season.

 

[morgieb]

Markarse has 2 of the best 4 players in the comp. fmd.

 

[Cevno]

Indeed, although if you do want to have another pick sooner i'm prepared to only have a 15 player squad and trade my round 5 pick for Kumar? 8|

Praveen Kumar ?

 

[Furball]

Wish Himannv would stop drafting players on my target list.

 

[Johnners]

Albie Morkel

Wish Himannv would stop drafting players on my target list.

Would be easier if I know which players are on said list.

Murali, Andre Adams and Phil Hughes have all been on my "hopefully no-one will notice them" list.

Some interesting choices in the early drafting rounds.

If one lesson was to be gained from Season 1, teams must establish a strong bowling lineup. Good batsmen are easy to find, and any decent first class cricketer is capable of filling a position. However, strong bowlers are tough to identify.

Teja had a solid bowling lineup on paper in Season 1, however his team was garbage with the ball and players like Kartik, Kumar and Tahir ended up with terrible records despite appearing good choices at first.

Will the sim nerf me for playing batsmen what it considers to be out of position, e.g. if I give Mathews a go opening?

I have a feeling season one was rather on the bat**** side, though. What with Flintoff being better than he was for the last two years of his career despite being retired for two years, and so on.

Nathan Lyon, David Hussey and Chris Gayle (to a lesser degree Hughes) were all on my 'pick this round' list. They went on the four consecutive picks before mine, or something similarly ridiculous.

Surprised you were going for Lyon really; I just picked him because I like him.

 

[Eds]

Good to know picking Gayle this round was a good move. Was so tempted to leave him for Round 5.

Are you surprised that a man who picked Nevill first round may not be picking entirely on merit, or that there is a forumer yet to memorise which cricketers you may or may not like?

The former.

It's a very good pick at this stage.
