All Formats Draft

[harsh.ag]

In that case, there were better ATG batsman to be had in R2.

Not necessarily true for this format. He is (proven) brilliant in all of them. Great pick. Kohli isn't as flash in Tests as of now (SA tour was great, but it's still early days).

You've got an answer for everything

The competitive mucking about and bravado is one of the best bits of Drafting. Otherwise we are just making random lists of names.

That's what so tricky about this Draft. Answering a question like.....'Does being the greatest ODI batsman of all time, and one of the greatest Test match batsman of all time make Viv Richards/Tendulkar superior to ABdV even though they didn't have the opportunity to excel at T20?....is necessarily difficult. Then there is Ricky Ponting etc etc

Dennis Lillee

 

[Red]

Nah, you can have ABdV - the majority of us will be selecting a real ATG wicketkeeper to back up our ATG fast bowlers.

ABdV is an all time great at everything he does. Greatest man in the world.

 

[Red]

Dan Vetorri obviously not a singer...

 

[Blakus]

MS Dhoni

 

[kyear2]

Was waiting for that one. Very interesting pick.

 

[Pothas]

Sydney Barnes.

Refuse to believe he would be anything other than lethal in twenty20.

Sydney Barnes.

I agree Pothas.

In fact, I'm surprised that we haven't seen the evolution of 'Barnes style' bowlers into the T20 game yet. That is, medium-pacers who can finger-spin the ball in either direction seem a natural for the 20 over game.

 

[G.I.Joe]

MS Dhoni

Would have been my next pick, FTR.

 

[Dan]

Would have been my next pick, FTR.

Was hoping he'd slide under the radar for quite a while tbh.

Looks like we both had the same idea of targeting a second keeper and screwing everyone else over.

'tis the aim of drafts, is it not? Draft a gun team that simultaneously screws over all your rivals.

Oh yeah. Plus LOI makes up 67% of the vote and depriving the other teams of Dhoni would have been so worth it. I would have loved to have pulled it off.

For ultimate trolling, my plan had him as my Test 12th man.

 

[watson]

Not another non-keeper. In fact, watching Dhoni catch a ball is like watching Steady Eddy clap.

Here's where the wheat and chaff separate. See, I've got Gilchrist and that plan works perfectly for me. You've got ABDV and you're forced to make a sacrifice choosing either way.
