The Draft

[Mister Wright]

His average of 88 against England and West Indies, isn't going to change anything, he still will be a freak, unless the other batsmen don't hang around with him. 88 or 99, its all the same.

Well, it's going to be much the same for any other player, I can't see drastic changes in averages if you take away performances against Zim and Bangladesh. If you do it to one, you have to do it for all.

 

[chaminda_00]

From memory guys like Shane Bond and James Franklin have major differences to their averages and strike rates when you take out Zimbabwe and Bangladesh games.

 

[Hoggy31]

Are strike rates actually a major factor influencing a bowlers performance in this?

 

[marc71178]

What about guys that played a lot of matches against similar quality sides in the past, such as early sides from South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Or is it only done to players that have played against the current Zimbabwe and Bangladesh sides?

I took that all into consideration when looking at players I've not heard of / SMs

 

[garage flower]

welcom CAG, you may be another opener but i couldn't ignore the 56.87 average at this stage, now for a 'deshi

Presumably his average will be adjusted though, along with the likes of Fairfax and others who've played few games.

i was going by what Marc said earlier in relation to Dempster, that his stats were'nt goign to me amended much.

Is the draft being run tonight?

 

[marc71178]

Wednesday UK time (I might get a chance tonight, but only if the missing drafts are in, and then there's no guarantee)

 

[Blaze]

Fair enough. Get your picks in guys! Just in case Marc gets a chance to do it tonight.

there you go, reserve keeper and bangladeshi all in one, better practise drinks carrying Khaled

 

[Blaze]

Happy with Ron Archer... now got to pick a zimbo to run on the drinks. Wish I could have had 1 more player who would have made my side come together nicely but will have to make do with what I have got.

Jaffna Jets - CF Walters

Happy with Walters got my opener and another 50 bat at the same time. Might create a few headaches with selection though if Walcott isn't good enough to keep full time, but its a headache i got mind having. Now for a Pakistan player, should be too hard with all the guys left

Dave Richards I hate you.

Snatched my Round 16 pick away from me

Happy with "Tanny Grig" though, a solid backup batsman, and will be useful if we ever need to drop a spinner, bring in Bedser, but we still want a 5th seamer.

Now 2nd pick, with a Bangladeshi or Zimbok to pick....

 

[marc71178]

About 3 or 4 people went for him I think!
