I'm not sure I understand the green smileys. jadeja is a perfectly decent player to have in your middle order albeit something of a plodder at times. Just checked his average and 37 is pretty good going

To me, it is about picking him too early. He is certainly not a shit player. Got picked few rounds early than he should have been. I guess the laughing smilies are more because EAP picked him to fulfill Indian quota. Zak, Gambhir were still available that time. Arguably, Raina is also better choice than Jadeja.

No he is better in that he has actually won matches a few times.

The Man Himself said:
Quite opposite. He was all about flamboyance, on and off the pitch... He was OKish for a period of few years in ODI...nothing special. Picked way too early...wouldn't have been bad choice as 11-12th pick.

No but him over Gambhir is like misbah over inzy. Too big a gulf in class.

Oh right, just remember @NM saying that Jadeja ruined his childhood so I assumed he was a bad player.

Don't rate Gambhir much. Been on a long decline and was mediocre against the moving ball.

You asked him to remove 1 of them from the list. That's when both me and Aldo realised he hadn't been picked. We had both read the post and yet not noticed he was unpicked :lol:

Yes. I know. That was a rhetorical question. feck me. :mad:

Same here. Thought he was only good in the subcontinent.

Mills on the other hand is a good pick. We looked at him like ages ago (around 3-4 rounds I guess) but decided not to pursue him.

Younis is getting overrated. Pathetic record outside the subcontinent. The last few years of his ODI career were quite abysmal as well.

It is ODIs draft and though he has weakness against swing, his peak years and overall caliber is quite good. Not a first 4 round pick but should have been picked earlier.

Naah, except England, he has v.good ODI record everywhere.

3,4,5 are very good and then you have Hadlee and Marshall. Marshall's ODI career record is not great but it is still Marshall so a good pick.

Younis Khan is not a v.good pick. Very good test player, ODI he was average imo. But it is 9th round, so maybe he helps fill certain position for Varunaldo

As you said, it's the 9th round now and considering that, he's a very good pick. Complements yuvi and symonds beautifully. Smart and busy player

That's people being spoilt by Dhoni. Overall India was just above average in ODIs and we lost a lot of winnable matches. Jadeja was a flamboyant player capable of big hits and though he averaged a quick 35 in most matches we never did win many. A good player but overall frustrating time to be watching India ODIs.

But this is an All time draft. He has an excellent record in NZ, Aus, which will probably be nullified against top bowling. An R8-R10 pick is par for him.
