how does it work? Do we have 5 diff games or we just write-up for 5 in the same thread?

We only used to write about our teams and some match ups. Not for every individual game. Then voters would decide who would win that series.
You can of course give a detailed plan for all 5 games if you wish.

Yes, mainly if you play one player in one match and different one in others
 
Lads,

Let's not deviate into dynamics discussion here. @Ijazz17 proposal makes sense to me and I'll flush it out with him in a convo.

Till we announce any changes, let's stick with my proposal above (unless anyone got any drastic objections). I've taken note of the discussions and we'll see how much can be accommodated.
 
harshad and TMH taking the piss now. It is not even like they have to research players.. the options are in front of you!
 
OK, we will be posting our picks soon. On ground condition though, just a suggestion, don't just club spin friendly and good for batting together like ijazz did in his post above. All subcontinent wickets can't be classified as that. Maybe slow wicket with chance of turning but decent for bat etc can do. Spin friendly shouldn't be assumed to be dustbowls as we see in test cricket. India hardly prepares spin friendly wickets for ODIs and as we are seeing in Bangladesh, they are more keen on green tops. SL is also slow but in ODIs it is batting friendly. Pitch can be spin friendly in drafts, all I am saying don't club it with batting friendly.

The way I see it, he will draw the venues just like you did. Then the managers will be told the details of the pitch but not the name of the ground. So you can get Eden Gardens and you will be told how the pitch behaves throughout the hundred overs of the game but you won't know it's Eden Gardens.

That was just an example TMH. Not meant to be taken literally. The point I was trying to focus on was how to incorporate stats in a more relevant and acceptable manner.

Was the one we were debating for, was between him and Sanga.

Love the saffer to bits but there's no way he's breaking that opening partnership, sorry.
Shame that we couldn't pick him due to someone inevitably ruining it with statsguru showing hes not played at 1st down at all - which is fair but tell me one reason why he wouldn't be equally kickass at 1st down coming in after Tendulkar and Waugh, specially as he plays that position in test cricket. He'll be phenomenal, better than Sanga would in our team, but then we live in a world of going by the book.
