Quality control draft 2.0

[mr_mister]

My angry react was just a way to quickly tag you btw

 

[mr_mister]

I mean he's still a solid 32-36 choice. Would definitely have the most tons from that band. But yeah can't take up your 27-31 band

 

[kingkallis]

Ian Botham (27-31)

I will need bowlers so yeah let me have Botham at No.7.

Ian Botham (32-36)

 

[srbhkshk]

Adam Gilchrist ( 44 - 48)

@JOJOXI

 

[JOJOXI]

Under 32 batting: Mike Proctor
27 to 30.99 bowling: Stuart MacGill

 

[JOJOXI]

Edited my Under 32 batting pick actually as they have to bat in top 7 so can't pick 7 'batters' and then play one of bowlers at 7 and batters at 8

@srbhkshk

 

[srbhkshk]

Sunil Gavaskar (48 - 52)

@kingkallis

 

[stephen]

I was considering Botham in third pick so I don't think he's a bad choice at all.

Is Gilchrist really that good in this draft?

I'm not sure. If I have to pick someone in my top 7 to have a <32 average I probably want them to be a keeper. Not sure I'd want to waste a high average slot on my keeper.

Also, I feel Gilchrist is a trap in drafts. Usually enough people pick batsmen as keepers that his extra batting is diminished in the eyes of voters, despite the reality that he was leagues ahead of every real keeper/ batsman.

Not to disparage your XI shrubbers, I'm trying to get my head around this draft and the voting patterns I've seen. In any really ATXI he's the undisputed second picked player behind Bradman.

 

[srbhkshk]

I just think he's the best or close to the best batsman in 44-48 group anyway + he is a keeper so why not.

 

[srbhkshk]

like I could basically pick him as a pure batsman in that group and I think that would be a reasonable selection.

 

[Nintendo]

Just double checking, average bracket is always based on test average, right?

 

[ankitj]

Yes, and we are making a test XI in this game

 

[ankitj]

@kingkallis you are up.
