Just realized Roger Twose didn't get picked. How the **** did Russell Arnold get picked before Roger Twose?? For shame, OS, for shame!

 

[mr_mister]

ah dammit, shoulda gone Twose over Misbah. Was going for that better in ODIs than Tests angle with Hick and Cronje too. And plus I've picked Twose before in drafts


stupid Misbah

Arnold was a ****ing gun. No regrets

 

[harsh.ag]

Apart from Roger Twose, some good names who didn't get picked were Niall and Kevin o'Brien, Strauss, Jesse Ryder, Amiss, David Hussey, Kieron Pollard, Kyle Mills, Geoff Allott, Andy Bichel, Doug Bollinger, Sunil Narine...

Ellyse Perry would have been a great choice too (Dan's suggestion). Excellent ODI player.

O, please no Kieron Pollard. He hasn't done anything in ODIs - averages 25 with the bat and bowls harmless pies. Even passengers like Irfan Pathan have so much better record that's not funny.

Daryll Cullinan would have been a handy asset considering the absence of Warne in this draft!

we're at the bottom end of a draft that already disallowed the elite players, well over 100 others have already gone. Pollard is probably a reasonable choice at this point

Batting average of 25 and bowling average of 37 is ideal example of statistics of a no-rounder. You can't pick him in a ODI team just because sometimes in IPL he can mishit a few for sixes.
