Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2023

[Teuton]

Paul Stirling

@BoyBrumby for the final pick

 

[BoyBrumby]

As he's potentially an all-format player I'll have a punt on the resurrection of Jofra Archer, please.

 

[Teuton]

Thanks everyone.

I will get the spreadsheet up and running for scoring to start by the 1st of January

Saddened to read of Pant's accident. He was an early pick of mine but that fades into insignificance when considering the career of a fine player. I hope he makes a full recovery, no matter how long he has to be out of the game.

Devon Conway's 2 goldens haven't helped me

 

[CricAddict]

hb a bit unlucky that Sarfraz played instead of Rizwan in all tests and performed well.

 

[Teuton]

I didn't see that comeback happening. Why was Rizwan out of the Test team?

Yes, even Pakistani fans wouldn't have foreseen it. Rizwan has been strong in ODIs and T20s but hasn't performed that well in tests. But there is place for both of them in that team imo.

Reigning champion @CricAddict is putting up a big score early on in the year. @honestbharani may be getting a nose bleed in the unfamiliar position near the top. I am still languishing well behind with a lot of players yet to get off the mark.

Still 11 months to go of course. The first minidraft will be in late March.

Best performer of the month award clearly goes to Shubman Gill of hb franchise, followed by Michael Bracewell of the addicts.

 

[honestbharani]

Ita funny coz i picked Rizwan thinking he will be the all format guy and Gill was just an after thought and yet, the roles have already flipped in the very first month.

 

[Teuton]

@CricAddict still with a massive lead with Bracewell & Axar leading the way and 5 of the top 13 players.

May as well

Happy to be dong marginally better than mid-field. Would be even better but for Pant and his car.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Fair to say I've had better starts.

I completely misread the situation regarding Boult giving up a central contract. I thought he'd still be playing the majority of NZ's games (obviously or I wouldn't have drafted him), but it looks like Satan will be skiing before the Kiwi board require his services again.

 

[kingkallis]

So when are we dropping our players for Q2?

 

[Teuton]

Anytime before 23rd March when I plan to start the minidraft.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Could we have an update and list of the available players when you get a chance please, Tuets?

Ta ever so.
