Pick the Other Guys' Team Draft

[The Battlers Prince]

Has to be doesn't it?

yeah

 

[WalkingWicket]

Did we not say a while ago that there wouldn't be an 'all-rounders' round per se, as the criteria allowed for the selection of players like Kallis, who was an all-rounder (although his batting was the stronger of the two, at least at the end). If people want an all-rounder round, then I'd be fine with it, but the initial plan was for another batsman round, followed by the wildcard (which has no criteria)

 

[kingkallis]

All-rounder round is a must but make sure 15-20 such options are there. In last round we wanted to pick players like Imran but the rules stopped us from picking him.

 

[WalkingWicket]

OK, well all-rounder seems more popular so far, but I'd like a couple more opinions.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Sorry, you're right WW. I'm ok with no AR round. Just so long as it's decided before the round starts

 

[WalkingWicket]

Sorry, have to get round in v. quick before I go to sleep.

NUFAN for Michaelf7777777

AgentTBY for Schearzie
Schearzie for WalkingWicket
Michaelf7777777 for AldoRaine18

Hope everything is alright. I've decided it's a batsman round, but see if you can work the system to get you that all-rounder. Too knackered to think.

 

[ankitj]

I would rather have an open round at the end. Not every team needs an all rounder.

Agreed.

 

[kingkallis]

Fair enough!

 

[WalkingWicket]

Yeah, the last round is a Wildcard round, so there are no criteria required (other than that they played more than 15 Tests) and you can pick whoever you want to round off teams.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Not sure about the composition. We have picked two frontline pacers for each team so far. So the last round becomes inevitably a pace bowler's round?

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah this round should have been all rounder. Michael is ok though since he has worrell and grace already who can bowl. I'll pick in 5

 

[NUFAN]

Michael 7's can have Clem Hill

KK can you select for me someone who batted at 5 or so who could take a few wickets please? Also, if you look at my side, I have the other Sutcliffe from NZ not the gun from England.

The last round is deliberately open so people can change the composition of their team, so it isn't just 6 batsmen, 1 WK, 3 fast bowlers, 1 spinner. It leaves room for a bit of manoeuvre and imagination.

Doug Walters for Morgieb

 

[WalkingWicket]

KingKallis can pick for himself

 

[ankitj]

Ajinkya Rahane for KK
