Vanilla draft

[Line and Length]

Joel Garner

I tossed up between Hammond and Garner but already had a good "quick" and decided to look at my middle order. I was hoping (rather optimistically) that 'Big Bird' might sneak through to my next pick. Wishful thinking.

Why isn't Imran (and to a lesser extent Hadlee) classified as other (allrounder)? Hammond could be at a pinch too.

No matter what way I classify there are going to have to be some judgement calls, so basically what I decided to do is to put frontline bowlers as bowlers, and leave "other" open to 5th bowlers, keeper, bits 'n' pieces all-rounder (at an ATG level, that's all "genuine" ARs), etc.

It doesn't make too much sense as a classification system but it makes sense as an easier way to check who's gone IMO, based on how one would likely play each player.

Okay. Sounds logical.

I would love to see an attack of McGrath and Garner in tandem

Wes Hall

Has anyone ever commented on the fact that this game gets really hard, after all the first 40 odd easy picks are made?

@ataraxia next with double pick from before

Trust me, this is easier than many of the drafts that have special requirements/restrictions

 

[ataraxia]

Just get away with Waqar Younis
