[harsh.ag]

Voted for Nuf, Camo, and morgieb.

Dan was my next preference. Hard to believe he hasn't a single vote.

 

[cnerd123]

Can't possibly vote for a team with Salman Butt in it now can we?

 

[watson]

Voted for ONIY, Morgieb and NUFAN.

I like the ATGs in Morgieb's and NUFAN's teams, but slightly prefer ONIY's overall as it is the most balanced side. The batting lineup is exceptionally strong with solid openers and an attacking middle-order that bats down to No.8 or 9. The attack lacks a 'gold tier' bowler but is consistently good all the way through. The combination of Willis-Clarke-Flintoff-Harbie (off-spin)-Borde (leg-spin)-Chappell has more than enough pace and variety to knock over most batting orders on most wickets.

Three excellently drafted teams with NUFAN bringing his team back from the dead with a deal of good strategy and luck in the later rounds.

 

[NUFAN]

Agree on the good strategy part.

kyear, ohno, morgie.

Close run thing. Kyear has a gun top 4, I really like the look of them, plus elite bowlers in Roberts and Tayfield. Tremlett, Hawke and Toshack make it a fairly strong unit capable of tying things down and striking regularly. Trumper and Warner would just be amazing as an opening combo, and I am a big fan of Harvey and Moyo. Boucher is quality. The only criticism is it looks slightly unbalanced with Boucher at #6 and Roberts at #7, but they'd win tests no probs.

ohno's team has star players, and is very well balanced. Excellent frontline bowlers and handy back ups. Like kyear, the top 4 (actually 5) is elite. ohno drafted some antipodean greats in his top 5. High quality keeper and outstanding cordon, along with a great leader.

morgie's team is just solid all the way thru. Combative and competitive.

The smartest thing to do in CW drafts, I have gathered, is to pick a) Sylvester Clarke b) Imran Khan c) Harold Larwood and d) Andrew Flintoff

You instantly guarantee a ****load of votes for yourself

e) pick quality openers f) a gun middle order f) a specialist keeper g) three quality quicks and a decent spin option

I followed those criteria and only have one vote

 

[watson]

I followed those criteria and only have one vote

e) Milburn & Butt - not really going to strike fear into the opposing opening bowlers.

 

[Dan]

Butt not so much, but Milburn was far better than most seem to give him credit for. fred to confirm.

Sylvers and Larwood (and maybe Stan McCabe) basically buys you Fred's vote as I understand it.

 

[NUFAN]

Not sure that its a good tactic to pick a team to buy a vote from someone who hasn't even voted..

Dar was some whimsy in me post....

 

[weldone]

I voted for oniy, weeman and vimes.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Time to start tallying the votes by the looks of it

 

[kyear2]

Fun but challenging draft. Job well done to Monk and all the participants.

 

[watson]

It's been more than a week, so well done ONIY !

 

[Red]

"This poll will close on 27-08-2014 at 12:33 PM"

That's what I set it as and that's what it says. Is it closed?

Well done ohno

 

[weldone]

Congratulations ohno.

When is the next auction draft?
