Taboo Draft

[G.I.Joe]

Can't pick a batsman, kyear2. Batsman (Himannv) and Pacer (Valer) are taboo to you.

Also, Cevno is up, with the same taboos.

 

[kyear2]

But Blakus and Valer are the last two picks before me. Am I wrong?

 

[Valer]

But Blakus and Valer are the last two picks before me. Am I wrong?

Valid picks. Blakus was a t.o

eta:

Asumming all rational actors you'd get

Batsman
Wicket keeper*** (or pacer depending on which one you think is worse)
t.o (non bat/ pace at 12,01) for the rest of the draft.

 

[Jager]

Saqlain Mushtaq (Spinner)

Miller
Benaud
Roberts
Healy
Dujon
May
Anderson
Mushy

This is getting ridiculous

 

[kyear2]

So do I have to change my pick or not?

 

[Valer]

So do I have to change my pick or not?

8. Richie Benaud

Not looking too flash in the batting department, but the bowling has fantastic variety in seam, swing, bounce, aggression and spin going both ways.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

George Giffen (Pacer) for my next pick please. According to a feature on this site a year or so back one of only three men to have batting, bowling and fielding statistics above the average for there era. Although only a medium pacer according to cricinfo, could also bowl some offspin according to other sources and almost exclusively batted in the top 6 (with over half of his innings being at number 3) which adds some additional versatility to my team given the unpredictable nature of this draft.

Charter 77 So Far

Brendon McCullum
George Giffen
Andy Flower
MS Dhoni (*, +)
Chris Cairns
Mike Proctor
Shaun Pollock
Peter Pollock
