What's new

Hypothetical ODI draft

freelance_cricketer said:
Exactly.

Cannot just assume thag a lot of average and mediocre ODI players of the 70s/80s/90s would magically become best strikers in today's era.

Assumptions don't work like that because some of the free spirits of today's world would also be occupying more time.on the pitch back in the day.

Viv, Zaheer Abbass, Kapil Dev proved even in that era to be respectable strikers

have you seen Greenidge bat. Hell of a player. Same with Chappell, Azharuddin etc

Hetmyer hasn't played enough. As packages I would say they are similar, as Miller is better with the bat but maxwell has the bowliing, fielding

Bowling is Maxwell's advantage. He also a slightly better sample size.

But I have seen Hetmyer play in front of me as well as a lot of his brutal assaults on India recently. I can definitely testify as a batting talent he's a level above this particular category of batsmen which includes Maxwell Miller ... few.more names you know that I won't disclose as they're not picked yet.

I am happy Ben Stokes promoted himself from that category and he's a proper middle order batsman now who should at all times keep a batting average of 40 or rather 45 going by today's standards.

Hetmyer already averages 45 and that's his range, he should never go below 40.

5 centuries already in less than 50 ODIs. Unbelievable striker who is not just a slogger necessarily like Russel/Brathwaite

3 good test batsmen. In the Top 30-50 range

1 good ODI batsman - Greenidge. Top 30-50 range

1 very good ODI batsman - Azharuddin - Top 25

Averages 37@107. Not substantially better than 32@123, if at all. When you take into account Maxwell bowling, fielding and the fact he is more proven it is a no brainer. Maxwell is 40@160 in WC's as well vs Hetmyers 37@102
 
freelance_cricketer said:
No he was not.

Rohit Sharma is already a Top 5/10 ODI batsman ever.

Greenidge would not make Top 30
Click to expand...

Haha lol.. Greenidge was the best ODI opener till Tendulkar came.

Clive Lloyd was among the top4-5 ODI batsmen as well.He hs a a strike rate of 81.

If Gordon Greenidge played ODI cricket today, he would be the Tilakeratne Dilshan of today.

That's it.

Please don't say say he would be Rohit Sharma of today.

The exaggerations of older players are going out of control

That's funny because even in his own team, Desmond Haynes left a greater legacy as an ODI player.

And there was Zaheer Abbass in that era alone who was a level above

Like i said above, Tilakeratne Dilshan of this era which is stil bery respectable

You are sounding comical now, unexpected from someone who only recently picked a test XI with a lot of great players.

Zaheer Abbas was a no.3 not an opener. Haynes was very good also but Greenidge is widely regarded as one of the greatest ODI opener of all-time.

World Cup stats mean NOTHING without context.

Maxwell coming off after a 200/3 start is different to Hetmyer usually coming in to bat with West Indies 40/4

Also Hetymer is how many years old in cricket.

2023 world cup is in India. Hetmyer has absolutely nailed batting in subcontinent

I won't ne surprised if he has a phenomenal world cup 2023

Like i said , Hetmer as a batsman is at another to your usual lower order pinch hitters



Overall still, Maxwell averages 32 and after so many years into cricket

Hetmyer just a couple of years after Under 19 cricket averages 37 and is going to get better

He would not be the Rohit Sharma of today. He would be an all conditions batsman that steps up in knockout games vs the best bowlers and scores runs
 
This is sounding like a 2050 era fan claiming that Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni have a strike rate of mid 80s in an era where Bairstow, Roy and Buttler are smashing it at 105-115.

Show me one post from.past where you have picked Greenidge as your ODI opener.

Rohit Sharma wipes the floor with Mark Waugh/Greenidge/Jayasuriya as an ODI batsman brother. Any condition. Any bowling line up. Any tournament

The holes in your story are so deep i can draw water from them.

Kohli and Dhoni are 2/5 level all time ODI batsmen.

Greenidge is 30-50 on the chart, at best pushing for Top25


Zaheer Abbass, Vic Richards, Miandad were all much better batsmen than Greenidge.

A fan from 2050 even if he has an arguement is likely to target Vic Richards or Zaheer Abbass why would he waste time arguing over Greenidge who would have further slipped beyond Top 70-100 range by then in all honesty :))

Depends on the opening pair. Tendulkar would bat in all conditions and score big runs every time, so generally Gilchrist becomes an automatic pick.

Virender Sehwag will give me an opening of 70 runs@8 over and then get out, so Greenidge gels well with him. You can't pick a player based on stats.

Stats will show that Amla played in a little more tougher era than Rohit Sharma but both are having similar strike rate. You woudl very well be knowing who you would pick when it comes to scoring fast.
 
Cannot wait till 2050 actually, maybe I can also make a case of Sangakkara being a clinical ODI batsman by then lol :yk

Talk about delusions. Greenidge was also 2-5 all time ODI batsmen till the late 90s.
 
I must put it as a disclaimer that personally speaking I absolutely love Gordon Greenidge
A legend of the game. An iconic opener especially in tests.

But that's it.

There are other great players too, a lot of them from modern era and THEY TOO DESERVE RESPECT

Rohit Sharma ever since he started opening has been UNBELIEVABLY good. Please do check his stats as an opener.

You can literally discard 100 matches of average 30 from his stats.

As an opener across 7-8 years, Hitman averages 60-70 he's literally shattered scoring and sixes records and you are going to tell me he would not score against quality bowling line ups and in big tournaments because you have a team full of outdated and irrelevant old players in an OFI draft?

The guys hit 5 centuries in last world cup

You answered your own self lol

Till 1990s, by that time ODI cricket was how many years old, 20 years?

I have got news for you!

ODI cricket evolved in the 1990s, literally 7-8 better openers (minimum) emerged ever since.

It's not about a draft.In draft, I have Sehwag so I am allowed to pick a prolific batter actually. The point is that you are disrespecting a legend of an era. Do tell that will Rohit do great against the moving red ball in 70s-80s as ODI opener against Lillee, Hadlee, Imran and Garner?

The point remains that a champion in one era will remain a champion in other era also, and just because the format of the game was different in that era, you can't undermine a player based on stats.

And there you answered yourself :yk

I agree that in 90s, ODI cricket got evolved with 5-6 ODI openers but Greenidge was the best ODI opener till ODI became 20 years old. So, it must be considered.

IMO, the quality of test cricket also got better since the 70s but we should not be ignoring the best players of the pre-70s era :afridi
 
Kapil Dev :afridi

:bow:

I have a humble question.

Since relativity is selling hot here. How do you adjust Kapil Dev's batting stats as per today's age then.

All while forgetting he wasn't just the front line fast bowler but THE bowling line up in himself for India during that time.

Greenidge doesn't get selected as he doesn't hgave an extra skill. THe usual picks are Gilly of Jayasuriya. In terms of raw openers he would be my 2nd picked after Sachin

Dev is an ATG worthy of being picked in an all time XI. His bowling average would get worse, and his batting average/SR would be better. I see him averaging 30 with the ball and 30@130 with the bat. More of a Klusener type than a genuine ATG strike bowler

Things balance out bro. He gets the respect for tests where we wouldn't put Warner, Haydos yet at his level.

For ODIs considering anyone who played in 1970s is as good as picking anyone from 1940s though. It's now a different soort actually

Just don't get a bowler that can swing it and he does fine. Oh and the boundaries have to be 60m. I have played cricket on boundaries significantly longer than that

Two dashing openers then a solid middle order and one of the greatest finishers of all time
You have two great all-rounders of the game and one of the greatest captain is leading from the front.

From bowling view

Chaminda Vaas and Imran will take a new ball,Shoaib Akhtar will come as first change then at middle overs you have Brad Hogg and Chris Cairns and some of the part time bowlers including Bevan and Nathan Astle.
Shoaib will bowl at death overs as he has variations.

Here is the summary of my team.

Although not top tier.

But he's right up there along with Kirsten, Mark Waugh, Greenidge type guys

Mark Waugh averaged 45, Astle averaged 35. Waugh was brilliant in WC's, averaging 53 with lots of hundreds. Tendulkar is in a tier above all other openers and then Mark Waugh is right at the top of the rest with Greenidge, Turner, Anwar
 
Guys can you please stop throwing names around? Other people still need to pick openers :danish

I highly appreciate your choices. You made some selections which are clearly not as per statistics and available pool of talent but more about impact value and balance.

Chris Cairns was a very inspiring pick

I like the fact that you gave respect to Chamunda Vaas by picking him. At his best one of the best new ball bowlers probably even more threatening than Wasim some times.

Nathan Astle once again top pick towards the end

Brad Hogg amazing spinner very underrated

Du Plessis

De Kock

All value for money and top players for their respective roles in the team.

Well done bro

First I was thinking of picking Glenn Turner but most of the users are young so I have to change my mind.
 
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
Graeme Swann
Dennis Lillee

A short write-up of my team

Virender Sehwag- One of the most destructive ODI opener at the top

Gordon Greenidge- Among the top 5 ODI opener of all-time

Brian Lara - An aggressive no.3 batsmen and would have averaged 50 at strike rate 100 today

Aravinda de Silva - Another aggressive batsmen, the man of match in World Cup 1996 final,will strike at 100 today, a better ODI batsmen than Sangakkara and an extra spin option

Clive Lloyd - The two times World Cup winning captain, man of match in World Cup 1975 final, will strike at 100 today, a good medium pace option

Andy Flower - The best wicket keeper batsmen of 90s era, as good as Sangakkara

Ian Botham - Great bowler, Outstanding fielder and an aggressive hitter at no.7

Wasim Akram - The greatest ODI bowler ever with 500+ wickets and a pinch hitter in lower order

Abdul Qadir - The greatest leg spinner after Shane Warne, averages same as Warne in ODIs

Graeme Swann - An attacking off spinner, a very intelligent reader of the game and a smart tactician

Dennis Lillee - The most complete fast bowler of all-time, bowling average of 20 in ODIs

Suresh Raina was an inspiring selection. Well done for showing confidence.

I was tempted to pick Ajay Jadeja just to give it to you during this draft :yk but thankfully didn't give in to the urge :))


Btw Shane Warne threw a cigerette at Saqlain being called GOAT :warne
