Superb but I think I was overconfident by some of the picks I rejected,I prepared my picks one week prior.

I had specialist batters till 6 and desperately wanted Chris Cairns as no.7. Then you picked him and I thought all all-rounders are gone. But luckily I got Botham at right time.

Very surprised that no one has picked one of the ATG ODI opener of all-time in their list. He was a powerful and devastating opening batsmen and the player of the series in 1979 World Cup, <B>Gordon Greenidge</B>.

Andy has a fast and furious leftie opener in de Kock, so he should look to partner him with someone like Ahmed Shehzad, who provides other 'qualities' :shezzy

Sorry brother it's not my fault that there are some good players left even after being stolen ATG picks by some of them.:sharjeel

Thought you might be the guy to steal him... Great pick.

Well, will have to make do with inferior options now.
 
My pick is Malcolm Denzil Marshall
151753.1.jpg
Apart from being a good bowler he was also a handy lower order bat with two fifties in odis.He will provide
some wagging power to the tail.

I was really surprised you went with Shikhar Dhawan. Never expected that Greenidge will stay till my turn. He is rated as one of the best opening batsmen.

How many have seen him?
I agree he was good but Posters will look at stats.
Click to expand...

Posters will look at the names that are considered as the greatest ODI openers and Greenidge will be one name in it. A google search of great ODI openers is enough for everyone to know how good is he. Nevertheless, I have Sehwag as his partner with a strike rate of 105 :afridi
 
Shane Warne
@fireblonde69
You thought Babar Azam was the biggest pick of the draft? Well he was. But the next pick of BhaijaanXI will set the draft competion on fire

Stay tuned..

In 10 minutes next pick will be announced

Excellent team. The only issue I see is death bowling. Steyn, Bracken and Pollock all are excellent new ball bowlers. Bracken would mostly bowl his 10 overs straight upfront, Pollock too. Steyn also wasn't comfortable bowling at death. Flintoff was a good death bowler too and could bowl yorkers at will

Can't wait to bat alongside our next pick. Hint: Dominant batsman!
 
By the time Bhaijaan comes with his next pick, this is my all time XI.

Virender Sehwag
Gordon Greenidge
Brian Lara
Aravinda de Silva
Clive Lloyd (c)
Andy Flower (wkt)
Ian Botham
Wasim Akram
Abdul Qadir

Dennis Lillee

So glad i won't be bowling to our next draft pick. Easily the most exciting and most gifted young LOI batsman in the world now, and arguably of last 10-20 years

Ajmal bowled in death as well and was quite successful. But yea that maybe a slight weakness.

But still has also bowled in death so he’s an option as well. Flintoff was amazing at death.

I was literally about to post his name with a couple of youtube videos of his hard hitting. Changed my mind to Dilshan at last minute. Excellent pick

Agreed, they should have picked Joffra Archer. Can’t see Doc and Last Knight defending 14 off the last over
 
Bhaijaan XI

1. Sachin Tendulkar
2. Matthew Hayden
3. Shahid Afridi
4. Babar Azam
5. KL Rahul
6.
7. Brendon McCullum (wk)
8. Kapil Dev (c)
9. Shane Warne

Actually Steyn was great at death overs unfortunately he choked at Semifinal and will be remembered for that.
 
In our team we tried to focus on fielding as well. And almost everyone is a good / excellent fielder.

He was never great at death. This is why he never succeeded at IPL too. Morkel was always preferred over him to bowl at death. Even Wayne Parnell would bowl at death ahead of Steyn

Pick based on potential rather than the stats. Just like Jofra - a potential ATG ODI pacer
Click to expand...

Averages 47 already and actually the ceiling is even higher for him. By modern day standards, he is 50+ / 95 SR player. Should retire as an ATG LOI cricketer. Lets see.

If we all pick base on statsguru then theres no point its predictable that way.

Some terrific young players are there who don't have a huge sample size but are gun - Jofra, KL both fall in that category

Yeah, some people are too obsessed with stats. No wonder it takes them 2 hours to name a pick :afridi
 
I mean Jofra is a 95mph bowler. Excellent athelte, can hit the ball a mile. So good so that England had to amend the rules to play him in world cup without and prior ODI experience and boy did he deliver. 3rd highest wicket taker in the tournament with economy of 4.5 on English phattas. Too good a player to be ignored.

Inzi vs rahul
who is better?bhaijaan
Click to expand...

I would look at it this way.

KL Rahul, if he produces his best is better than Kohli/Babar/Warner/Root/Williamson. That's his standing in his era purely as a *talent*

Inzamam, a great middle order ODI batsman, but how many 1990s kids can honestly say Inzamam's best overshadowed the stuff Tendulkar/Lara produced?

KL is more of the young Saeed Anwar of this era.

However, there's a guy here proven over 100+ tests, 350+ ODIs to be a Top 50 level batsman arguably. For KL, we are extrapolating right now what he could become
