ODI Debut Chronology draft

[ankitj]

Nothing like having to bat players out of position to accommodate the available keeper.

Who you mean?

Who you mean?

Quinton de Kock is an opener but Teuton needed a number 6.

 

[stephen]

would a test version of this draft work?

You missed out by not doing the alphabetical drafts man.

 

[ankitj]

Klusener has his lower order batting covered.

I like chronological drafts generally. Love when old players need to be picked and given a fair shake

 

[stephen]

Klusener has his lower order batting covered.

For sure. I was only commenting on the absurdity of having de Kock and batting him at six or shuffling the entire rest of the order down.

Fair enough. What did you think of the variable turn order in this one?

 

[mr_mister]

It was cool, something different.

Anything to add new life to this concept is a good idea I think

 

[Teuton]

Quinton de Kock is an opener but Teuton needed a number 6.

I now have 2 specialist openers. Lara could have subbed in but not required now and can bat in the middle order. In actuality he opened in ~18% of his ODI innings so hardly a must start there. Ranatunga was always my preferred 6 anyway .

Didn't he mostly bat 5? I mean there's not a huge amount of difference I guess.

Updated list and order please

[Red]

Joe Root (2013-01-11)

 

[ankitj]

Tom Latham (2012-02-03)

mr_mister up next.

 

[ankitj]

Shikhar Dhawan, the gun ICC tournament player, went unpicked.

 

[stephen]

Sarfraz Ahmed, Matthews, Marsh, Mendis, Ajmal and Guptill all unavailable now.

A few people are going to be very unhappy with their keeper options.

 

[stephen]

Miller also gone. He was a good option at 5.

 

[trundler]

Harsh on Ajmal. On another day I would've stocked up on batting from the 90s and taken him as my spinner. Remaining spin options are vastly inferior.

 

[stephen]

Red Hill has picked 3 openers and 2 number 3s and it's totally messed with my calculations every time.

 

[ankitj]

I shouldn't have rushed to pick Kumble when Ajmal was on offer.
