[Teuton]

Is it just me or do the 2 drafts seem to have almost the same pool atm? Quite confusing

I think Clyde Walcott is still available in this one.

It really shouldn't. I mean, one is a deadpool while the other is a block list so theoretically they should be different. Also, I have to say that there will be some surprises in store for drafters in that other one. Things are not as safe as they seem.

 

[Teuton]

Wasn't implying it was a negative.
Looking forward to a twist

 

[Line and Length]

I'm assuming Teuton has selected Walcott. Andrew B has 11 hours and Magrat Garlick can jump in in 5 hours time or after Andrew has picked.

Drat. I see someone else noticed we need to pick 4 from each geographic pool.

I'll have MS Dhoni

Michael still has 6 hours and then srbhkshk is up.

 

[JOJOXI]

Darn it, Was hoping Dhoni and/or Akhtar would trickle down for my 2nd pick

 

[Line and Length]

I was quite surprised they reached this far.

 

[JOJOXI]

I was quite surprised they reached this far.

Had a slight thought of whether to go for Akhtar first pick but thought O'Reilly was significantly better to make it worthwhile picking him also with likes of Murali/Warne banned one of the few definitive ATG spinners available

Edit - Its an interesting tactical decision to make go for quality in Group 1 or lesser quality players in other pools that lack the same depth of quality as Group 1

 

[Line and Length]

Michaelf7777777 is timed out.

srbhkshk is up now now with Fuller Pilch able to jump in 6 hours from now. Michael can have his catch up whenever.
