Greatest ODI Team - A Draft [Rules #19]

[dildildalwalla]

Can outsiders discuss/suggest a player before he has been picked ?

dont suggest picks please but you can eaisly join in and dissect picks

also can we do draft trades or player trades?

actually this sounds like a good idea. I will make an amendment at the end of the first round, add in a rule where everyone is allowed 1 or 2 trades.

 

[dildildalwalla]

9 hours left in this turn.

yep
[MENTION=143419]captain crook[/MENTION]

 

[dildildalwalla]

May be this could be a two week competition in which a certain number of people take part in and the winner advances to the next competition. This is a great start [MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION].

thanks

I kinda want to keep it a simple draft for now but if this works out well, we can try at the end and set up a tournament

 

[SL_Fan]

Does the same offer apply for me too?

C'mon in buddy we can be the three asian amigos. Don't expect me to carry both of you tho have a dodgy back.

 

[captain crook]

[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION]

I'll go for Waqar Younis and Shane Bond as my first picks.. let's start with some fire in the team

 

[Arsalan Pro]

[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION]

I'll go for Waqar Younis and Shane Bond as my first picks.. let's start with some fire in the team

They have already been picked, you can't select same players.

 

[dildildalwalla]

[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION]

I'll go for Waqar Younis and Shane Bond as my first picks.. let's start with some fire in the team

C'mon in buddy we can be the three asian amigos. Don't expect me to carry both of you tho have a dodgy back.

If you guys are going to make picks collectively, then please do so from the SL_Fan account

 

[captain crook]

Wow!! One of the best finishers not picked yet! LOL..

Bhai.. one request. If we can update the rosters after each pick, that would make this process easy..

 

[SL_Fan]

You guys are mean

Yes we are. Drafting is serious business buddy not for the faint of heart

 

[SL_Fan]

If you guys are going to make picks collectively, then please do so from the SL_Fan account

Javed Miandad and Martin Guptill

Time for your picks now.

yep

so my picks are:

Pakistan - Shahid Adridi, great striker if inconsistent but top notch bowler and a solid fielder

New Zealand - Ross Taylor, one of the best when he got going and slots in nicely at 4 (as long as other picks go to plan lol)

This will take awhile

 

[shafkath]

See you all back here tomorrow

Captain crooks a busy guy

 

[shafkath]

Thanks Major! Was a tough call, i was a big fan of fleming and astle as a kid. Head over heart in the inaugural pp draft! Something you failed to do

 

[Fahdi]

Surprised no one picked Razzaq or Asif. Razzaq at his prime was an exceptional ODI player.

 

[Messiah]

Surprised no one picked Razzaq or Asif. Razzaq at his prime was an exceptional ODI player.

still not good enough tho

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Some good teams devolving. I wish I had an earlier pick this round

 

[last_knight]

Surprised no one picked Razzaq or Asif. Razzaq at his prime was an exceptional ODI player.

If Zaheer Abbas goes unpicked, Razzaq stands no chance.

 

[Square Drive]

C'mon in buddy we can be the three asian amigos. Don't expect me to carry both of you tho have a dodgy back.

Don't worry broski I'm good at carrying people.

 

[Square Drive]

Get 'em [MENTION=132270]SL_Fan[/MENTION]. We got a nasty bowling attack already.

 

[captain crook]

This will take awhile

Nope, I'm back quick!

[captain crook]

See you all back here tomorrow

Captain crooks a busy guy ��

Yes, busy but draft's a serious business

 

[captain crook]

I'm so happy I got an early chance for Australia and Sri Lanka.. 2 top top ODI sides..

 

[Fahdi]

If Zaheer Abbas goes unpicked, Razzaq stands no chance.

You're right. Forgot about Zaheer Abbas. He has to be the biggest miss of the first round.

 

[ari_k]

Select Starc he's best bowler in the format from Australia.

 

[Fahdi]

Very good picks by captain crook. I believe everyone playing would have wanted to have an early turn from Australia. Plenty of greats people want to get their hands on.

 

[captain crook]

Select Starc he's best bowler in the format from Australia.

Bhai.. Starc is very recent.. you have absolute legends from Australia much much better than him

 

[captain crook]

Very good picks by captain crook. I believe everyone playing would have wanted to have an early turn from Australia. Plenty of greats people want to get their hands on.

Thank you Fahdi.. nothing like having a steady threatening fast bowler, consistent keeper batsman, world class finisher and a power hitter.. I still have some gaps to fill but won't reveal them

 

[ari_k]

Name one economical and attacking bowler better thn starc from Aus.

 

[captain crook]

Name one economical and attacking bowler better thn starc from Aus.

McGrath, Brett Lee, Lillee

Starc is a baccha..

 

[ari_k]

are you serious ?

 

[Fahdi]

Thank you Fahdi.. nothing like having a steady threatening fast bowler, consistent keeper batsman, world class finisher and a power hitter.. I still have some gaps to fill but won't reveal them

Gaps are obvious honestly. You don't have any openers or spinners.

Also need a strike bowler in the team.

 

[ari_k]

McGrath, Brett Lee, Lillee

Starc is a baccha..

Just look at his stats and his bowling he's beast in the format.
sirf new ha isli bacha na samjho

 

[Fahdi]

You are underestimating Starc. He is already acknowledged as amongst the best in this format ever.

 

[captain crook]

Just look at his stats and his bowling he's beast in the format.
sirf new ha isli bacha na samjho

Bhai.. I still remember the shiver in teams when they face Lee, McGrath in their hey days. Starc is good, but not at the level of those two guys yet.

 

[Fahdi]

Select Starc he's best bowler in the format from Australia.

The one who has organized this draft has requested those of us not playing not suggest picks in post 81.

 

[ari_k]

Bhai.. I still remember the shiver in teams when they face Lee, McGrath in their hey days. Starc is good, but not at the level of those two guys yet.

well good luck with your selection but I have seen both of them and starc.

 

[ari_k]

The one who has organized this draft has requested those of us not playing not suggest picks in post 81.

Suggestions are allowed in drafts everywhere.

 

[Fahdi]

Suggestions are allowed in drafts everywhere.

His draft. His request. The rest is up to you sir.

 

[ari_k]

His draft. His request. The rest is up to you sir.

Ok bro I won't suggest.

 

[Major]

Thanks Major! Was a tough call, i was a big fan of fleming and astle as a kid. Head over heart in the inaugural pp draft! Something you failed to do

lets see what the final 11s will be

 

[Major]

dammit,lost one player who i had my eyes set on. Lets hope i dont lose the second.

Wase, surprised no one went for both spinners straight up. Warne and Murli.

 

[captain crook]

McGrath? Sanath? Gilly? Who was in your sights?

 

[Major]

McGrath? Sanath? Gilly? Who was in your sights?

The Great Sanga

 

[Major]

[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION]

any chacne of the whole draft order being posted before hand, with draft trades taking place aswell?

 

[captain crook]

The Great Sanga

Haha! It was I who picked him

 

[Major]

As Major suggested, I think it would be good to have some trades.

Each player is allowed 2 trades...and that's it, for all six rounds. You can trade any player in any of these rounds. Just mention me in your post when you make a trade.

is the trade between other users? or trade like i drop Misbah and pick Zaheer abbas?

 

[captain crook]

[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION]

any chacne of the whole draft order being posted before hand, with draft trades taking place aswell?

+1 from my side. We need the draft order.

 

[captain crook]

is the trade between other users? or trade like i drop Misbah and pick Zaheer abbas?

I guess the trade is between the users, not sure you can pick from the players who were not picked earlier
[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION] please clarify..

 

[last_knight]

I guess the trade is between the users, not sure you can pick from the players who were not picked earlier
[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION] please clarify..

That it should be. Trade should be between two managers.

This way we will have an 11th team of 'Dropped' Players. Which will be equally competitive.

 

[dildildalwalla]

[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION]

any chacne of the whole draft order being posted before hand, with draft trades taking place aswell?

No, I'm not going to do that just so that everything is clear and fair because there could be some back room politiking going on lol So I'll have the roder as each round starts.

is the trade between other users? or trade like i drop Misbah and pick Zaheer abbas?

Btween users. Imagine a prmeier league style transfer window lol

I guess the trade is between the users, not sure you can pick from the players who were not picked earlier
[MENTION=143163]dildildalwalla[/MENTION] please clarify..

you are correct

 

[dildildalwalla]

Surprised no one picked Razzaq or Asif. Razzaq at his prime was an exceptional ODI player.

Asif, nope.

Razzak I would have picked if someone had taken Afridi

You're right. Forgot about Zaheer Abbas. He has to be the biggest miss of the first round.

I dunno, Abbas may be a dated ODI player.

and [MENTION=133745]silent ischemia[/MENTION] you're up

 

[dildildalwalla]

Picks so far

me - Ponting and Jayasuriya

shady - Gilly and Murali

captain crook - Sanga and McGrath

 

[ahmadharis1]

I would suggest creating a Google Doc and having all the picks and draft order there, it would be much easier to see

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Agree and if we could post the draft order before hand so we can trade picks and stuff.

 

[SL_Fan]

Don't worry broski I'm good at carrying people.

Good stuff might need you to carry me home from work this arvo.

Get 'em [MENTION=132270]SL_Fan[/MENTION]. We got a nasty bowling attack already.

All for one and one for all

 

[SL_Fan]

Nope, I'm back quick!

Good man that's more like it. Drafting should always come first no matter what

 

[SL_Fan]

So next up we have
[MENTION=133745]silent ischemia[/MENTION] and then [MENTION=2884]shafkath[/MENTION]


Just so y'all know calling first dibs on Finchy and Thissara.

 

[silent ischemia]

Sorry on being a bit late. Just coming from an overnight call.
My picks are SK Warne and Aravinda DeSilva.

 

[amit]

Might be a bit too late now champ but you can team up with me if you want

I will wait for the next draft. Hoping we have a T20 draft after this ends

 

[shafkath]

Really wanted de silva or sanga. My pick is chaminda vaas. 400 odi wickets. Left armer, very smart, swing bowler Works nicely with the pace and fire of shoaib akhtar at the other end in my line up.

My aussie pick is Michael Bevan! A fantastic finisher. Great odi finishers are a rare breed, bevan took his team over the line countless times.
