If I didn't go with Saqlain then it would have been one of the other picks for sure, garner, Wayne and holding.
ODI Sheep draft - Strict deadlines from now
- Thread starter Varun
- Start date
Yes. @The Man Himself @Mani You guys here?
Yea, what's up?
Convo. Time to give the criteria
Warne is steal of the round.
Do you rate him as the best in ODIs too? For me he's the greatest in tests but I have Murali ahead of him in ODIs.
My all time ODI attack is usually Akram, Garner, McGrath and Murali.
Warne's record in the 1999 WC is sensational. Murali is consistently good but I don't think he had a world cup as stunning as Warne in that tournament.
@NM check pm.
Murali in 2007 WC actually has better figures than Warne in 99.
23 in 10 games @ 15 for Murali vs 20 in 10 games @ 18 for Warne. Warne obviously had great games in SF and Final against SA and Pak so there's that.
Same.
Anyway, I hope Interval/KM face crappy so that Ganguly can again dance down the pitch and send Murali into the stands. 
This argument was had in last ODI draft as well. Warne is a proper match winner in ODIs. Turned 2 WC semis on their head. Murali has the consistency but not the same type of performances. I would have Warne in my team every time
Both have brilliant performances on the biggest stages mate. Murali has come in and absolutely choked the scoring out of the best of batting line ups as well. And, he was never a part of a team as great as Australia to have the same kind of rewards for his efforts so that's there.
Saqlain's ODI record is also unbelievably good
288 wickets @21 with a strike rate of 30. That's 2 wickets a match he guarantees

Criteria 6 & 7
Criteria 6 & 7:
Pick two players - one has to have taken the player's wicket or run the other person out in that match.
Note: Taking catches don't count. Also, if only one of your picks go through, your picks in the subsequent rounds must fit the criteria.
Links to the dismissal along with the pick is a must.
12 hour deadline, please honour it. I hate to make people miss their picks.

Sweet.
No changes to that 3 men pace attack,I love to all three in my squad.When it comes to spinners Warne got that mystery factor to his bowling,most unpredictable.Murali comes close second.
1996 SF,WI could have easily won that match but Warne was simply amazing.Did he have hattrick or two back to back wkts?
Dont think he has had a hattrick in WC
Then it should be back to back wkts.
how many left?
Results pls.
Muralitharan is better than Warne in ODIs.
