Gah, was leaning towards him and I'm definitely salty over this but it actually solves a dilemma for me as I need a quick scorer.

I too had this dilemma somewhat, but I needed a cake with Chappell because my top order is McCullum-Gayle-Herschelle

Haha with Sanga at 3 I needed icing.

Whatever it takes!!!
I just don't think openers make great #3s in ODIs. And Watson anywhere but opening in an ODI side is wasted too.

If you are gonna stick B Mac with the gloves, I would rather move him down to 6 and Taylor to 4 and pick a #5 with Gibbs opening.

That is a strong bottom half there, stephen. You will have to draft very poorly to lose this draft, from here.

There will be a bloodbath for the few remaining wicketkeepers towards the end of this draft.
In my count, only 4 keepers have been picked (Dhoni, Gilchrist, Sanga, BMac - not counting ABdev as keeper). Are there 6 quality keepers remaining? I doubt. Letting guys like Stewart, Haddin, Dravid go was a collective mistake it seems.

Nah.. the recent England and SL trend of playing multiple keepers in the same XI will help them all out.

Instead of going from Afridi(96) to Lee(2000) I would have loved to detoured via Boucher (98) just to get my keeper out of the way but I didn't like how low it put me in the picking order, Lee could have well been poached if I had.
But I agree it'l be interesting how things finish with the keepers. Generally I'm pretty content in ODI drafts just to get a keeper who can slog a bit and bat 7. I feel like actual keeping ability is pretty similar across the board these days internationally and if you miss out on the 4-5 really amazing keeper-batsman with high averages then it's sort of like whatever just aim for one with a high strike-rate, which luckily a lot of keepers have
Like for example none of these 3 have been picked this draft, but often I usually wouldn't even worry about getting an ATG keeper normally in ODI drafts unless Gilchrist was at the time the most valuable pick. I would often just pick up who got left over out of Moin Khan, Ridley Jacobs or Adam Parore just to have a serviceable one who can bat
But yeah this draft there could be a lot of unproven modern ones picked

There's 8 passable keepers left by my count, but I would also count ABDV as a keeper for drafting purposes.not if I decide to pick one of the England guys as my specialist finisher
not sure who you have in mind from SL - don't think there's anyone particularly good
