All Formats Draft

[watson]

Yeah, after the first couple of rounds it is the thing you really want.

This draft is hard though, normally I know roughly what sort of player I am going to pick for the next few rounds, no idea with this one.

I doubt that very much Pothas as you are one our best Drafters. I reckon that you must have a gut feeling.

[AldoRaine18]

A hard hitting finisher is paramount to every limited overs match. With the bowling option he brings, while also being one of my favourite cricketers, it's a no brainer for me.

Lance Klusener

 

[watson]

It's strange that you select Everton Weekes Monk because when I was going through the Old Time batsman trying to decide which ones would extrapolate the best to the limited over format I had Weekes at the top of my list.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

**** you aldo.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Decided my teams a bit lacking in six hitting ability so far so Chris Cairns it will be.

I think he had a bit of Viv about him, good aggressive batsman.

Noooo

Ill add my **** to that lot

Overrated hack and you've just lost the PEWS vote (IIRC)

 

[morgieb]

Andrew Symonds

I was legit this close to picking him. Chickened out because I was worried that it would hurt my voting potential.

Unreal ODI cricketer. Legit ATG ODI player.

I legit had various statsgurus on Cairns and Symonds up over an hour

 

[G.I.Joe]

Symonds is an excellent pick at this stage.

 

[AldoRaine18]

Unreal ODI cricketer. Legit ATG ODI player.

Totally agree. Not just the brute hitting, he was also a fantastic fielder and possibly in the top 3 fielders I have seen. Specially those direct throws from anywhere on the ground, his arm was a force of nature.

Perhaps his sharp decline has made his stock fall, but for me at his peak he was a majestic ODI player. Extremely useful bowler as well.

I was so hoping to have him and Zulu smash the bowlers all apart the pitch together. Would have been an awesome sight, that.

I'd go as far to say Symonds was the best fielder inside the circle I've ever seen....

Cairns is a class act while Symonds isn't, so normally 9 times out of a 10 you'd go for Cairns. However, the T20 genre makes differentiating between Cairns and Symonds difficult. Do you chose class but unproven at T20, or a lesser player who is kinda proven at T20?

I would imagine that those people who select WG Grace in ATG Test teams would be more inclined to go for Cairns, but those people who insist on some kind of tangible proof would be more inclined to go for Symonds.
