Congrats @harshad, was tighter than what I had imagined.
Test Cricket draft: Harshad vs Samid @ Lord's, London
- Thread starter The Man Himself
- Start date
But you are suggesting that Shastri will have to face the music alone. If he has Sachin alongside him... They could really stretch that third innings. May not get a win...but can certainly draw the game if needed.
It's my opinion..but I think all great teams need one such player. Someone who refuses to do the conventional...someone whose sole obsession would be to keep the wicket..frustrate the bowlers so much. It's not been spoken about so much on these thread since everyone is either hypimg the numbers or hyping the players, but pschye is just as key a component in cricket test matches as anything else.
Who knew Vaas would be worse than a sheep
Congrats harshad, close game. I think closest so far in terms of final vote tally.
Commiserations Samid. I liked your team although I wish MJJ had been able to stick to the Pakistani theme he started out with. Would have been great to see that come to fruition.

That would have never happened. He would have kept getting blocked
Saqlain, Qadir, Hanif, Miandad all would have been lost forever.
Yeah. He probably would have at least had Hanif Mohammad and Fazal Mahmood in his team.
Hanif went pretty late in the draft. I am sure MJJ would have gone for him earlier.That would have never happened. He would have kept getting blocked

I had him shortlisted along with Zaheer Khan and Sydney Barnes while I was filtering one of the criteria. That was until I saw his records in Australia, England and SA. Just woeful.
Vaas was the 3rd Round pick in Criteria 3 (Sachin criteria). At that time I didn't even look at his record properly, just saw the 355 wickets and went with it to avoid the sheep.
Hmm..maybe. But if he stuck to that theme,his final composition may have been worse than what Samid finally put up. Pakistan team has too many good players to be ignored in the draft.
He should have been allowed to win all ties if he promised to stick to only Pakistanis.
Oh, I didn't see his name in the first criteria and assumed he wasn't taken when we had that 100+ wickets criteria. Quite shocking record in swinging conditions as I remember him as a brilliant swing bowler.
Hanif gone in 9th i believe,with many still looking for openers and none gone for him.Lucky we got him.
Believe me everyone looked for him
.Believe me everyone looked for him
