Cricket draft- Semi Final - Interval vs Aldo

[crappycraperson]

You already made your thougts public so it's not like you are voting with the thought of the final in mind!

And anyway I don't think we have a solution for a draw so it's better if it's decided

Rules are in place!

 

[Interval]

Reiterating. For the new page

I don't think people heed how dangerous my bowling would be in swinging conditions. There are 2 matches out of five (Durban and Lords) where the batsmen are like to struggle massively against my bowlers who have all weapons in their armoury - Swing, pace, yorkers, reverse swing, slow balls the whole shabang. Plus, if I put Cairns in, my batting goes till 9 (Akram) at these grounds which sure makes up for the proposed lack of relative quality.

After you win these matches, you focus on drawing out the two tests which is doable.

I'm not denying that Aldo's batting is quality. I just think my batting is capable of posting 300-350 every inning. And given my bowling, it would be difficult for Aldo's team to do that consistently. I think I'd win this series 2-1 with Aldo probably taking Sydney.

Here you go

Ad this indicates that my batting is not as bad as people believe. (Can Lehmann's averages be even considered?)

 

[Moby]

Hey IL do you think you can post a graphic to compare the stats of both the batting line ups?

[crappycraperson]

NM clinches for Aldo at the end! Heart break for IL

 

[NM]

Sorry IL..

 

[Moby]

It's still not over

 

[Moby]

In future drafts this shall be known as Anal time...

 

[Interval]

Bah!

 

[crappycraperson]

Damnit, I was looking forward to having an ODI (Both had equal number of nationalities represented). Though IMO Aldo would have won that easily.

 

[Moby]

PHEW!

 

[crappycraperson]

Finished

9-8 to Aldo. He goes through. You can pick one player from IL's team

 

[Moby]

Great game, IL. Tough luck.

Funny thing is I had your team as one of the favourites when the matches started and didn't really think I would be the one winning against it.

 

[Moby]

Thinking of picking Wasim but will confirm by tonight.

I am certain he would have won with Kallis in it instead of Akram.

Yyou can wait till the final starts for your final pick


I say go for Vivs and go crazy with that batting line up.

Gavaskar
Who cares
Vivs
Sachin
Pointing

....

 

[Moby]

Haha yeah saying no to Viv is tough but I think I'm likely to go for Wasim and strengthen the bowling.

Let's see, I'd probably wait to see how my opponent is and decide.

 

[Interval]

Pick Wasim or Lillee. I'd say lillee.

 

[Moby]

Wasim is a personal favourite man and I also rate him higher than Lillee.

I'm already under a 1 vote handicap with fishfingers voting against me to take out a facebook grudge!

I'd never do something like that. Shame on you.

 

[Donaldo]

MJJ seems to have that one against me..haven't had a draft where he's voted for me. Even the ones I wont 10-2 last time was the opponent and MJJ voting!

Show me one draft, except this times against MJJ, where NM has voted for me.

We all have our one.

Hah! Naah. Look it up. We don't usually see eye to eye in drafts.

I should have known that was the outcome for a draw, wouldn't have been tensed at all.
