Yeah I've had 15,15, 5 and now 18. I'm still extremely happy with the players I've got but will each draft round have the same quality of players? So that I don't end up with teh crappy players in the latter rounds when i start picking higher up!

 

[kears_falcon_9]

yer well i bet that by the time som of us enter the top 5 for selections we will get 20 or 25 players who have been knocked bacdk in other rounds so yer i rekon we mite get left with the not so good players

Stop bloody complaining, its just luck of the draw. Im sure Nikhil isnt deliberatly favouring people, and making it hard for others. There is still a long way in the draft.

And really if you use your head you can get decent picks at numbers 10-18, i got TCB Fernando at pick #12, his stats are: 1day: bat av - 19.39, bowl sr 44.9, econ -4.33. Test - bat av -19.91, bowl sr - 46.5, econ - 3.41. Now i consider him to be a number 1-5 pick out of the players who were nominated for that round. Yet i picked him up at 12, so play your cards rightand you will get satisfactory picks.

 

[chrisbroadie]

too right i picked up martin love at #9 and michael kasprowicz at #15 - just take your time when u pick ur players

 

[NikhilN]

Each round will have a few good players and a few crappy players so dont worry...you will have your time too when you are high in the order

 

[Cloete]

2nd Round: A Zach, 4d s/r: 42.6(2.17 econ!) 1d s/r: 27.6 (4.07 econ!) Picking 15th!!!

IJ Harvey (16th) - all rounder, 33.03 5d bat av 2.91 5d bowl econ, 29.00 1d bowl SR

Z Edbrooke (1st) - keeper, 55.67 5d bat av, 41.65 1d bat av.

TCB Fernando (12th) - pace bowler, 19.91 5d bat av, 19.39 1d bat av, 46.50 5d SR, 44.90 1d SR.

Im happy with those picks, setting the foundations for a solid team.

 

[Wazim]

i like what order i am in

 

[ash chaulk]

**** i dont even get what picks i asked for....... and i had a number 1 pick at one stage and got someone ****

 

[Wazim]

hey nikhil for the pitch conditions, u should let the manager to decide...so then we can make a pitch according to our team, so we can have home field advantage...eh?

 

[NikhilN]

**** i dont even get what picks i asked for....... and i had a number 1 pick at one stage and got someone ****

I never even get your e-mails...how do I know what you want...

Well it is too late for this season but maybe next Wazim

 

[Wazim]

sounds good, but i feel u could do it this season though..as the managers can email u the pithc conditon they want....if they want to change it before a game then they email u

and if they dont email u, then u leave the pitch as it was previously

 

[NikhilN]

Well I dont like the idea of changing the pitch for a game but letting managers pick there pitch conditions for the season sounds good...but I cant do it this season

 

[ash chaulk]

well i sent em its too late now tho... i musta sent it wrong or some ****

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

I dont want to stir the sh*t on the forums, but check your emails nikhil, im not too happy at the moment. Considering it was my #2 pick wasted...
