03. Brian Lara

[The Battlers Prince]

The Battler's
1. Jack Hobbs
2. Virender Sehwag
3. Rahul Dravid Captain and Keeper as I forgot to pick a keeper
4. Jacques Kallis (4)
5. Kenneth Viljoen
6. Tom Moody (7)
7. Jack Gregory (3)
8. Ray Lindwall (2)
9. Shane Warne (5)
10. Derek Underwood (6)
11. Fred Spofforth (1)

Some good and some bad, the timing of when some parameters come to people made a difference. But a fun draft nonetheless, thanks for running it Shady.

 

[watson]

Don't mind if BP repicks for R11 at the end as you can't not have a keeper. But it depends on what other people think.

Mike Procter

OS XI:

Joe Darling
David Warner
Sir Frank Worrell (c)
Sachin Tendulkar
Andy Flower (wk)
Sir Garry Sobers (6)
Mike Procter (3)
Imran Khan (2)
Dale Steyn (1)
Bhagwath Chandrasekhar (5)
Bruce Reid (4)

Wanted six bowling options because you never know when Bruce Reid can break down, hence Procter.

Excellent new ball pairing, 3 ATG all rounders, lots of variety in the attack, strong middle order with good depth to back it up, and an inspirational captain. Pretty decent. Andy Flower with the gloves probably the only weakness.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Can we all double check our team with the parameters beside each player now? I have no idea how some of the players in the other teams fulfilled some of the given parameters, so I'm curious.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Yeah, I'm curious too. Would be nice to publicly match the picks with the parameters.

 

[Howe_zat]

1. Herbert Sutcliffe - Better at home than away
2. Kane Williamson - got hit in the nuts
3. Ricky Ponting - got out to tuffers
4. Wally Hammond - went 2 years without a ton or 5wh
5. Steve Waugh - 1000 scored against 5 teams
6. George Ulyett - specialist bat with a test average under 30
7. Adam Gilchrist - bats and bowls with different hands
8. Vince Van Der Bijl - over 2m tall
9. Tich Freeman - last man out in a close loss
10. James Anderson - shares his surname with a wrestler
11. Sydney Barnes - never played the Windies

 

[OverratedSanity]

Joe Darling- Specialist batsman averaged under 30
David Warner- Got hit in the nuts
Frank Worrell- Bats and bowls with different hands
Sachin Tendulkar- 100+ runs vs 5 teams
Andy Flower- dismissed by Phil Tufnell
Garry Sobers- Never played against West Indies
Mike Procter- Shares first name with a wrestler
Imran Khan-Better home than away
Dale Steyn- Went 2 years without 5wh or hundred
Bruce Reid- Over 2 m
Bhagwath Chandrasekhar- Last man out in losing chase (margin<25 runs)

 

[OverratedSanity]

The went two years without scoring hundred/taking 5 wh was silly I thought. It includes virtually every cricketer to have ever played the game.

 

[G.I.Joe]

I'm not a fan of the two batting-only parameters. They completely screw over anyone who's already got enough batsmen and needs bowlers. Those parameters needed to be discipline-flexible.

I liked them. Part of the challenge was to not overcommit early by picking too many batsmen/bowlers and screwing yourself over.

These parameters don't contribute to that challenge at all. You could have paced yourself perfectly well and needed 1 batsman and 1 bowler to balance your team with your last two picks, and then you get hit with two consecutive batsmen choices screwing you over for no fault on your end. Educated guesses are a challenge. Random unpredictable guess work isn't a challenge. That's a lottery.

[watson]

Malcolm Marshall 'not playing against the West Indies' is a bit iffy.

Herbert Sutcliffe was supposed to be better away than home.
