Mystery Box Draft IV

[anil1405]

That's an awesome bowling line-up. Got almost everything. Although I really like Stuart Clark as a bowler. Probably more than Chaminda.

Agree with Harsh. Although longevity goes in favour of Vaas without a shadow of doubt, personally I like Clark for what he brings to the table.

 

[Teuton]

Classic longevity vs peak dilemma.

 

[harsh.ag]

Tbh from the pov of team balance, it's better to have Chaminda there. Clark didn't fare well in Asia, while Vaas's SL numbers are fantastic. Plus the batting of course.

Although Chaminda's England record always surprises me. Would have thought he would have done a helluva lot better there than he did.

Also, Vaas Porn (inside joke, Teuton)

Kinda harsh on Tallon, Tayfield and Holding. Having no true #7 though is a bit of an issue I agree.

Tallon's test stats are very misleading Tbf. He was apparently a very good domestic batsman pre-30 when he wasn't in the test team.

 

[Jarquis]

Just waiting on weldone

Tallon's test stats are very misleading Tbf. He was apparently a very good domestic batsman pre-30 when he wasn't in the test team.

Yeah, this is true - he was weighed down by an old war injury and the presence of guys like Lindwall. It's still a bit of a weak tail though.

 

[morgieb]

Can't believe I managed to pick up Lara with my second pick of the double round. Admittedly some shockers could've gone your way with that pick but there were other decent options too.
