Season 2 Draft Discussion

[Himannv]

I really hoped to get Pattinson in round 1 and a batsman in round 2 but Pattinson was the first guy picked much to my surprise. Have had to do some quick thinking and rearguard action to recover from that slip up.

 

[Cevno]

The draw pretty much screwed up my plans at the start in any case.

Btw, we aren't having a snake draft order this time ?

 

[GIMH]

The whole draft and retentions thing is bonkers. Should have been allowed to retain well more than 4 tbh. But more importantly I'm a bit confused.

a) Serves you right for retaining with a view to getting a lucky draw
b) What? It's exactly the same draft format as last time.

If Howe_zat is going away, what should I do about my pick?

I know. Would have retained Sanga in any case tbf , but took bit of a gamble with another pick and it didn't pay off.

 

[Spark]

Nah that's not what I did. I generated a new order every second round.

 

[Furball]

Cevno, just shut up. You were a dire **** in last year's draft, don't do it 2 years in a row.

 

[Cabinet96]

Didn't make his pick either...

 

[Cevno]

Look who's talking.....

Shut up and mind your own business.

 

[Cevno]

Yeah, my bad. Would prefer that tbh, but fine either way.

 

[Eds]

Did anyone get Howe's pick before he left for the weekend?

 

[Cevno]

He has left for the weekend?

 

[Eds]

I appear to have bodged with my scheduling here. I'm afraid I won't be able to access a proper computer over the weekend, so either results Will have to wait until Monday, or I'll need a volunteer to help out. Sorry about this.

.

 

[Spark]

If he hasn't given anyone his pick, then go on ahead morgieb.

 

[Eds]

We going 12 or 24 hour pick limit?

 

[Spark]

24.

 

[Himannv]

Was hoping I could repick Samaraweera a round or two later.

 

[Eds]

Had some hope he'd last until Round 4 but always seemed unlikely. Ah well.

Time to just completely buff up the bowling then, I think.

Got a nice core to my team now, what with Smith, Sehwag and Hussey and then Bravo and Bresnan with the ball. Two rounds out on the trot now, so not expecting much more quality to come into the team.
