All time ODI Draft

I know who the Red viper will pick but I don't have the authority to make the pick for him.
 
I would only have 1 or 2 allrounders on par with him in ODIs. If you compare his bowling with some of the players that have already been picked:-

Ave Econ SR
Wasim- 23.52 3.89 36.2
McGrath-22.02 3.88 34.0
Donald- 21.78 4.15 31.4
Waqar- 23.84 4.68 30.5
Imran- 26.61 3.89 40.9

Dont think you can say he is a significantly a lesser bowler while his batting is a major bonus.

And a Great leader.
 
Good to see Donald having a better average and strike rate than Wasim and McGrath
He gets way too little credit for some weird reason. Even in the test drafts, someone said he doesn't belong to the tier 1 of bowlers.

That's a bannable offence IMO.

It was me. I said he's a level below the elite, can't name them obviously but there's a few who are above even the likes of Donald imo.
Good that you don't work for me or I don't work for you. :p or maybe it is actually :lol:
True :lol:

Not in One days, they aren't. Donald was a different beast in ODI.

Happy to get Polly.

Good lower order batsman and one of the Top-5 ODI bowlers ever.

A very good wicket-taker but his ability to stop the flow of the runs and restrict the flow of the attack was amazing.
 
Well if we're talking about top ODI bowlers...

He isn't in the top 5 bowlers of all time, no chance.

Let me rephrase. Top-5 Pacer in ODIs.

An average of 24 with an economy rate of 3.67 considering he played more than half of his cricket in noughties is unreal production. Especially that economy rate. ODIs is also about restricting the opposition and Pollock was the best at it alongside McGrath.

He was very good, especially because of his economy, no arguments there but he isn't in the top 5 pacers of all time.
 
Anyone around for me to leave my next pick with? Heading to bed, and don't want to hold this up if the bottom 3 all show up soon.
Send it to me. Do send a 2nd choice too if your 1st one goes.
 
The 2 shittiest office goers from the caf is no longer a mystery :lol:
