Mystery Draft V.2 (1989-2009)

[Athlai]

My ODI team will end up as one of the worser outfits but I'm pleased with how my test side is coming along. Was actually hoping to pick up Ryder as my third New Zealander but you got in before me and I had to change strategy.

Couldn't say no to BFJ there was only one other Kiwi I wanted besides him for my team so I knew I had to get in quick.

Test Team

Hayden, Tendulkar, Pietersen, Gilchrist (wk)

ODI Team

Jaysuriya, Gilchrist (wk), Dhoni, RTD

So far I am happy with both the teams. But considering my next turn is a long way away I may be forced to pick too many ordinary players towards the end.

 

[Shri]

Heath Streak for Tests and Gary Kirsten for ODIs.

[Matt79]

Hmmm, was hoping Streak would stay available another turn in tests. Nearly took him at the same time I took him in ODIs - now my minnow situation gets more complicated.

[Athlai]

My faint hopes of getting Pollock have been dashed.

 

[Matt79]

Hey Michael - you suck man.

EDIT: Having to do some research now.

 

[Athlai]

Seems like some intense research.

[Athlai]

Shakiiib

 

[bagapath]

this is getting painful.

 

[Athlai]

Hoping to break your heart yet again when it comes to my turn.

 

[Shri]

Damn. Shakib was going to be my no.7 in both tests and odis.

 

[Athlai]

Damn. Shakib was going to be my no.7 in both tests and odis.

He was gone first round of ODI

 

[Shri]

He was gone first round of ODI

I thought what I thought before the first round tbh.

 

[Somerset]

Ian Bishop for tests and Michael Bevan for ODIs. I can't believe Bevan hasn't been selected yet, or am I missing something?

Edit: Is the above change to my test side ok?

 

[Matt79]

I'd already taken McGrath, and someone else has taken Ponting - I don't know what other people's excuse is...

 

[bagapath]

I am a dickhead. That is my excuse.
