Quiz Draft Voting Thread

The most entertaining team by far is GF's. Every single player is incredibly watchable, and a beautifully balanced and high quality line up too.

Finally voted for Kingkallis, Himannav and Honest Hunks. Couldn't decide and between Honestbharani and Blakus, then decided Blakus and chose H.B in error, both equal teams but felt that Barnes, Hall and Lindwall in their peak would be irresistable.
KingKallis best team overall though..........along with mine of course.

It is nice to see a draft where the teams are all fairly even relatively speaking. If the vote were based on who you'd like to watch then GF would walk it though.

 

[kingkallis]

I have 4 ATGs and 4 players did appear in CW's TOP50 as well

Yeah, but you have an extremely long tail too. Knott is not an ATXI #6

I know my side isn't the best, but how does Cabinet have more votes than me?

Sympathy? That or everyone really hates Shane Watson.

Eds and Blakus were relatively straight-forward for me. Plenty of good teams to select from for the 3rd place, in the end I went with Bradman's team.

Will be calling the poll done in 24 hours. Himannv with a good lead atm.

 

[morgieb]

A more interesting question is - who drafted the worst team?

Already answered. Read the thread.

Thanks to all those that voted for my side. I didn't expect to accumulate too many votes since I opted to pick my side based on a theme, i.e. the early legends of test cricket, rather than selecting based on pure statistics or more commonly known recent players. Very pleased with my final line-up either way. I guess its impossible to know how my side would fare against modern line-ups on covered pitches, with technology and higher quality equipment and the like; but I think silentstriker's video might well be applicable to my side.

 

[weeman27bob]

I reckon pretty much everyone has 4 ATG's in the side, well at least 4 close to ATG players.

See its very simple - my TOP 5 scores around 250 and last 6 adds 130+ ( By going with the average )

And that means I can easily score 350+ in every inning.

My bowlers can wind most of the teams around 250 which means a lead of 100+ - come on mate what else you want? haha!

That's not right though is it. You're using general Test averages to judge that. Against any of these other teams, I feel you'd struggle to get 300 consistently, due to the quality of the bowling attacks. I think you need a combined Test batting average of about 400 overall to be of suitable quality against these bowling attacks (although of course, earlier batsmen will have lower averages).

You'd also need to do the same thing with your bowlers. They're not going to take wickets at their Test averages in this competition.

That's it then, congratulations Himannv.

 

[kyear2]

Thanks Howe, great draft.

T-3rd not bad for my 2nd draft.

Congrats everyone.

 

[Himannv]

Good job organizing this. Can't have been easy hunting for questions and answers which would be ideal for this. Additionally, this is quite a new concept for a draft.

 

[kyear2]

Congrats Himannav as well of course.

 

[Eds]

Himannv did particularly well considering he was lower down the order most rounds. Great performance mate.
