Mystery Draft V.2 (1989-2009)

bagapath

International Captain
If in the future 9 teams will be used, I would be in favour of adding a 9th option of people who debuted before the period but played a match within the period, with everyone getting a selection from this category as well.
why dont we have one more round for that right away?

Not Terrible
I guess because everyone has already picked their team for better or worse that we shouldn't change it from here.

But I like the idea of an impact player that you can choose from before the era (as long as they played one match within it) but still probably from your country.
So NZ would be able to choose Hadlee
Pak Imran
WI one of the great quicks
etc.

Mr. Glass
The middle order bat in tests that I mentioned earlier somewhere in the thread is Vinod Kambli. Averages 54 in tests. No one picked him.

International Captain
Kambli would not have maintained a 50+ avg for too long. For that matter even Ganguly's avg was hovering around the 50 mark for most of his early career. But it fell down significantly later. Ganguly was a superior cricketer overall, so no real competition there.

If I were to choose one impact player from the team assigned to me (Australia) it would be between Allan Border and Steve Waugh. Both made their debuts before 89 and played at least one test in the period we are choosing teams from.

I am a huge Steve Waugh fan. But Border shades him by a few millimeters. Really loved Captain Grumpy for his guts, determination, team spirit, bloody mindedness, ability to score tons of runs and, above all, his integrity. Would gladly select him as my impact player.
 

Somerset

Cricketer Of The Year
The middle order bat in tests that I mentioned earlier somewhere in the thread is Vinod Kambli. Averages 54 in tests. No one picked him.
TBH even though his average is some nine runs greater than Laxman's, I was never in any doubt that Laxman was the better selection for my team. In fact, I didn't even bother about Kambli for the best of the rest side I put up last night!

International Debutant
I'm starting off simming the tests now, 3 test series, 3pts for a win, 2 for a tie and 1 for a draw in each test, with a 2 point bonus for a series win and 1 point for a series draw. I will have a 14 round home and away format

The middle order bat in tests that I mentioned earlier somewhere in the thread is Vinod Kambli. Averages 54 in tests. No one picked him.
Considered Kambli, but with my last two picks, I'd got myself in the invidious position of needing an Indian or Kiwi opener who wasn't one of Sehwag, Gambhir or Richardson. Kambli was considered, but given he was a but of a bunny against the quicks, not the best candidate as makeshift opener.

Delighted with that start. Hundreds to all of the top six besides Vaughan and the bowling unit progressing very well. :)

Massive innings from Younis Khan there. Some interesting results so far, I didn't expect my side to win 3-0 nor did I expect the Pathfinders to lose 3-0.

Somerset

Cricketer Of The Year
Top effort so far Michael. Pleased to see my tactic of selecing a good pace bowling attack and giving them the right conditions to bowl in has paid off so far - the big question will be whether we can have the same success away from home in less favourable conditions.

Mr. Glass
Kambli would not have maintained a 50+ avg for too long. For that matter even Ganguly's avg was hovering around the 50 mark for most of his early career. But it fell down significantly later. Ganguly was a superior cricketer overall, so no real competition there.

If I were to choose one impact player from the team assigned to me (Australia) it would be between Allan Border and Steve Waugh. Both made their debuts before 89 and played at least one test in the period we are choosing teams from.

I am a huge Steve Waugh fan. But Border shades him by a few millimeters. Really loved Captain Grumpy for his guts, determination, team spirit, bloody mindedness, ability to score tons of runs and, above all, his integrity. Would gladly select him as my impact player.
Who cares how good he could have been? Had a very different personality compared to other Indian cricketers in the 90s and his batting style had a lot of flair, flamboyance and aggression. Still like watching his double hundred when the highlights are telecasted. And, he also has 2 200s. They were also back to back iirc. Correct me if I am wrong.
