Ya I understand. In the end it is international cricket and players are from test nations(till now) so very few are going to be really shit and in criteria like 100 wickets or more it is tough to find it. As I said in prev. post though (not specifically in Ishant or Rafique case), some players in list above are decent. Not totally crap.That's because Kenya and Zimbabwe were the only teams playing us back then
@The Man Himself Not denying that ishant is better than rafique, I couldn't think of anyone else with more than 100 wickets though
ODI Goat Draft | RedTiger wins!
- Thread starter Akshay
- Start date
Let's hope Akshay is up because I've been drinking for a while and there's nothing in the convo
Chris Harris. I loved Harris' bowling action too. Funny looking but he was accurate. Was there a 3rd wobbly bowler too? Craig McMillan used to bowl gentle medium pace but not sure he bowled in 99 world cup. Astle too similarly used to bowl a bit. They had an army of wobblies
Criteria 4

Oooh, interesting. I hope there are enough average players out there to meet the criteria.
Wasim Akram wtf
Think that's a 'sheep;'
Bashar was a classy batsman and ashraful was gifted yet stupid but nether would get in as the no3 batsman now.
You're underrating how shit bell is

Booooooooooooo
I'm not sure whether @Skills gets the game. MOTM in both WC semis and finals and someone with decent record. Definitely not an ideal pick for this draft
M Amarnath was the MOTM in a World Cup final
Criteria 5
Badani was an excellent pick, and I think I remember the 100 too (139 v aus?)
Yup. I remembered the 100 he scored just didn't know if we had lost the match.
I'm here
Pick?
Done, btw for future reference could we have the deadline at 10am or even 9am if that is difficult for you GMT. I'm asleep for most of the night (wake up 7.30ish every day) and also participating in the football draft, so just to prevent me from annoying you constantly with late picks.. is that okay?
Yeah that would be fine for the morning picks if everyone is OK with having 10 hours for the 2nd round, as the night deadline can't be later than 8PM GMT.

Yep.
Good 4th round overall!
