We've moved past "great" in round 2. Once you get past Sangakkara, Dhoni and Gilchrist he comes automatically into reckoning. And you are underrating his ODI impact. The stats speak for themselves and during his later career peak, he was one of the best in ODIs too.

@Varun not interested in arguing about it
Whoever thinks Dravid is not a great pick at this stage is joking. He is >>>>> Stewart

How am I underrating his record when you have essentially agreed that he wasn't a one day great?
No arguments over that.
Finally. Should have gone much earlier.
I'm not interested either but you shouldn't be making stuff up.

I have a quick question as I'm not too familiar for drafts.
Do we take into account things like injury? So for example, say there was a player who played from 1991-1999 for the national team, and he missed 2 years in that spell due to injury. Does that come into account or is it solely his playing ability when he was playing? Thanks.

Drafts are usually argued based on peak performance. If you can argue that he had a sustained peak before/after the injury, then it should be OK to consider as his performance metric.
"In this competition, players are considered at the level when they were in their prime."
If your player's prime was on a recovery table then we consider that.
No usually the peak performances are counted.
I thought dravid talk was going to take up the whole day lol that's for noticing our pick!
Boom boom 
Cheers guys.
Kumble isn't better than any of the spinners picked so far, he wasn't a top class Odi bowler.
This is an implied rule. I think it's better if made explicit here too. @Physiocrat can we make it specific that only the manager or the AM can argue at the same time?
Only 3 specialist spinners picked so far aside from Kumble. No one is arguing that murali, warne and saqlain are not better than Kumble, but Kumble is the best of the rest for sure
or do you think boom boom is a better spinner?Kumble falls into the tier after Murali and Warne. And tbh, there's only 3 (maybe 4) players I'd have in that first tier anyway.
Who da fak is Physio rat? Never heard of him.
Another thing I'd add is Kumble wasn't known to turn the ball as much as the big 3, but he probably had the best accuracy. Consistency and pace.
Wrong mod.
It's easier to be more accurate and consistent with your line when you're not spinning the ball.
He's in tier 2 with a select few. There are only 2 tier 1 spinners.
I like Varun.
Me too.
Playing Cookie clicker. Will pick in a few. Ok, I am not, but will take a few mins :P
Who has got Scholes' pick?
Only 3 specialist spinners picked so far aside from Kumble. No one is arguing that murali, warne and saqlain are not better than Kumble, but Kumble is the best of the rest for sure
Ajmal
I have
Nice, might reach halfway through round 6 by the evening then.
Jeez guys. Dr Dre would release Detox faster than this :|
Ok, we pick a Black Caps player to represent us next.

Kumbles the best medium pacer in the draft.
The selecting part will be more fun than the draft, I think.
