ODI Draft - Ascending Batting Average

[Line and Length]

Kapil Dev (23.79)

Curses!

I'll have Shahid Afrid (23.58) instead - so I can admire his batting strike rate.

 

[Teuton]

Imran Khan (if he got thru to stephenza then game over)

 

[ankitj]

Many curses indeed to Teuton and Fuller Pilch

Kapil was being lined up by half the draft I assume

 

[Line and Length]

Imran Khan (if he got thru to stephenza then game over)

A noble sacrifice Sir Teuton.

Flintoff also gone. ****

 

[trundler]

Flintoff also gone. ****

I feel like being conservative early on isn't going to have a big enough payoff if others are gonna have the likes of Pollock and Dev at 8.

 

[StephenZA]

Pollock is at 9...

 

[trundler]

Pollock is at 9...

 

[weldone]

Haha Hadlee is at 10 and Imran at 8

insane

 

[weldone]

The risk here is that if you pick Virat Kohli in round 10 then the only option left for you would be ten Doeschate and if someone else picks Doeschate in Round 11 before your turn, then you have no options left and I will select some random meme player for you (based on what player your team is needing I.e. an opener or a middle order bat etc.).

Can we compile a list of such random meme players? I propose Venugopal Rao (middle-order) and Arun Lal (opener). Feel the penalty will not be harsh enough if the random players are any better than these two examples.

 

[trundler]

Would be great if it ****s up the team balance too

 

[weldone]

Would be great if it ****s up the team balance too

Yes, like Rubel Hossain as middle-order batsman and Lakshmipathy Balaji as opener.

 

[weldone]

mrmr has timed out. Ankit can pick.

Ian Bishop (16.20)

So wish I had taken Kapil or Imran or Flintoff as round 3 pick. What was I even thinking!
