Stats draft-2014

[AldoRaine18]

BTW Bagapath, I have a doubt regarding the next round. If I remember correctly you said the 5th round would be free for all, which means unlike all the rounds so far it would not be based on a position. So we are free to choose any position we want, so let's say someone gets a number 3, someone gets another opener, someone gets a fast bowler, etc. So for the rounds from there on, people would be needing players in positions different from each other, Say I have picked a number 3 and then comes a round saying pick your number 3, then that would be an issue no? Or are the future rounds not going to be fixed for a position in the team?

 

[ankitj]

We should be able to all rounds with constraints. Don't need a free round. May be as we go along the constraints can be broader. For example, pick a bowler with average over 30 or batsman with average under 40. This way people can choose if they want 4 bowler team or 5 for example.

 

[kyear2]

This was hard.

Derek Underwood.

So many spinners not eligible.

At least the last round should be a free pick.

He said 6th and the last round will be free rounds

I'm assuming round 5 is for a middle-order batsman.

 

[kingkallis]

Yeah, make the last round FREE one so we all can grab the player we want to 'complete' the team...

 

[morgieb]

Lance Gibbs I guess.

Was in pretty much the worst position for the last two rounds.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Rangana Herath. On phone so can't check if he meets the average criteria, so graeme swan if he doesn't.

 

[Camo999]

S Gupte

[watson]

No Bedi, Chandra, Prasanna, or Kumble which is interesting.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

No Bedi, Chandra, Prasanna, or Kumble which is interesting.

Herath is obviously a better bowler

Select the partner for your opening bowler. Fast. At least 15 four-fers against non-minnows. Bowling average under 28.

 

[kingkallis]

I am properly placed here to pick my fast and fearsome bowlers but looks like I am going to struggle in next round

Last 3 are lucky as there are number of good options for this round.

 

[harsh.ag]

Round 1


1. ohnoitsyou - Malcolm Marshall
2. Camo999 - Imran Khan
3. harsh.ag - Sir Richard Hadlee
4. weldone - Glen McGrath
5, morgieb - Sir Curtley Ambrose
6. coronis - Dale Steyn
7. AldoRaine18 - Dennis Lillee
8. Monk - Waqar Younis
9. Kyer2 - Allan Donald
10. Kingkallis - Fred Trueman
11. Ankitj - Sydney Barnes

 

[kyear2]

Going forward I really believe Monk's way of dropping/raising a slot in progressive rounds is a fairer way that random draws every other round.

Everyone gets a fair shot and it's more predictable. I think he also used 6 hour time limits.

Got screwed in both fast bowling rounds.

 

[ankitj]

I very nearly missed on Miller
