[CricAddict]

I did want to vote for 6 teams including Ataraxia's but couldn't.

 

[Line and Length]

Some solid combinations here.

 

[Archer6K]

My first vote in a draft

 

[howitzer]

@AndyZaltzHair , @honestbharani and @AndrewB the drafters still to vote. It would be great if we could get a clean sweep voting, particularly if it helps break the current three-way tie.

 

[honestbharani]

I have no idea how to even compare the sides.
Archer's side is cool wih a lot of depth and has Katich.
Jojo's top 4 is so fire and ice but feel the bowling attack leaves a bit out there.
Krypto's side does not have a spinner and I usually compare teams on their 2nd spinner's strength.
AZH's looks strong.
Howitzer almost has enough players with 2nd skill for me to vote for his side.
FP seems a lil light on batting.
Mine is a pretty hb side.
KV's side seems interesting and pretty rounded.
Andrew B has enough talent to be a great side.
Pothas side has enough bowling but the batting seems a bit light.
Trundy got to pick Clem Hill and a great bowling side but again, some red inkers at 5 and 6.
L&L has a vintage team.
PAG's side suffers the second spinner syndrome
criczo will be lucky to win any game with the fixer uppers there.
Himannv side looks good, but lacks Sanga.
Luffy has 2 of the fab 4 and 2 ATGs with the ball.
Bitmap side has consistent quality across.
Moo's side is good but a bit uneven.


At the end, I will go with L&L, Himannv and AZH. And BItmap and Luffy as I just realized I can pick 5.

Excuse-moi.

Excuse-moi.

Oops

Sorry bitmap, feel ataraxia's side is just a bit better.

Thank you @JOJOXI , @howitzer, @SillyCowCorner1 and @Archer6K . Yes, it's my second draft overall after the 4 Eras one and my first win. Thanks to everyone who voted and those who didn't; and I was extremely lucky to actually win this over many great teams, especially trundler, pothas, bitmap, Ataraxia, Fuller Pilch and Himannv.

Got a high standard to live up to with my sophomore effort then.
