There was no chance in hell he was lasting all the way back down to you MJJ. This draft is greatly inflating my post count!

I wanted him and morkel...the only two guys I am disappointing at missing out on. Plus many have got their spinners already so was hoping. :(

I had him down as my spinner from the last few rounds but left it late i suppose.

Yeah you definitely need a good spinner. I like your batting, but your bowling is going to get ripped apart by good batting line ups.

Yup...I ideally need two bowlers as none of my top 5 can bowl which will hamper me later on. Think the bowlers I have will be able to restrict teams to under 300 but lets see.

Vaas, Streak. Broad. Styris, Maharoof are 5 bowlers though.. With Styris being the 5th bowler right?

Omar picked styris...I still need to pick my 5th bowler. Could not find a space for styris as a) he is a middle order batsman and b) wasnt much of a bowler anyway. Although I bat extremely deep as all of the players I have picked so far can bat, even broad and vaas can slog it a bit.

Meant Harris. And I went the same way. With Lee and Pollock I will bat at least till 9.

:lol: Guess its time to sleep then. Thats good then as now I have more flexibility in either picking a batsman or bowler. No idea which one my team needs the most as an all pace attack does seem a bit weak but want to add another pinch hitter in there.
 
I'll go for Younis Khan.

I like your team, Interval. I hope your bowling options are exhausted by the time it comes back to you for the 11th pick.

One quibble is that you have too many openers..

Thanks

Yeah. Need another decent bowler who can bat a bit. I have 4 bowlers and Dilshan who can bowl a bit.

EDIT: Yeah. But Stewart can realistically bat at 6-7. Obviously not his best position. But he will be the one who holds his bat if too many early wickets go down. If its too late in the innings, Razzaq will come above him.
 
Batting average of 17 post 90s and 29 bowling average..

Yeah. I can think of atleast 1 similar person who had better 90s.

Red-Indian said:
Yeah more a romantic pick than anything else.

And while there are a few allrounders still available, none of them are clearly better enough(in the 90s) to be automatic choice.

It's Kapil man. He won us a world cup.

Yes, but how many of them have an economy under 4, and are Kapil Dev?

If you told me the sentiment behind it, I'd agree. But as you were so quick to jump on the Imran Khan pick, I think this is similar. Kapil was as much a finished entity in the 90s.

And that stat means nothing. It was an era when batting averages were exceptional close to 35-40 and scores of 250 were considered phenomenal. Imran's economy was 3.9

Jumped on Imran until KM said he wanted him as a middle order bat. Also felt it was way too early for sentimental picks. Mine was going to be Srinath, but I couldn't get him. :mad: Can't say no to Kapil after that.
