Hypothetical ODI draft

[mumtaz]

My turn again. I pick Jasprit Bumrah.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Pehli baar suna ki miandad finisher tha

Maybe you haven't watched the 1992 semi-final against New Zealand Also, you should talk to Chetan Sharma

 

[mumtaz]

#5 is too low for someone like Miandad who took his time to get in. You have to play him at 4.

 

[Watsupdoc]

The Hakeems pick the wizard himself. A guy who average 22 with bowl, at a strike rate of 32 and a meagre economy rate of 4.

Any guesses? Yes it's

Spoiler

SAEED AJMAL

 

[Abdullah719]

Pehli baar suna ki miandad finisher tha

He played a part in 45 matches where Pakistan successfully chased a total in ODIs and finished not out in 20 of them. Average 66. Not too shabby

Exactly also, not to be too controversial, but I would take him over Mahendra Singh "let's tuk tuk Pakistan out of the 2019 WC" Dhoni any day.

Why too low ? Who knows who are his top 4.

 

[mumtaz]

I was wondering at the start of the draft whether Ajmal will be allowed considering his action issues. But no worries. Hussey will take care of him.

He won't be bowling the last over for sure

Shots fired [MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION]

 

[Thunderbolt14]

If Hussey doesn’t take care of him, DRS will

 

[Abdullah719]

If Hussey doesn’t take care of him, DRS will

Sachin is making arrangements for that as we speak

 

[last_knight]

I was wondering at the start of the draft whether Ajmal will be allowed considering his action issues. But no worries. Hussey will take care of him.

Thats what Hakeems intend to do with opposition batting, 5 down by 20th over.

 

[last_knight]

One of the best AR and power hitter at #7
Class Bowling AR at #8.
And The spin wizzard Ajmal at 10.

 

[Ab Fan]

Looks like [MENTION=149506]andy0204[/MENTION] is gone for sleep.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Quite strange that Kedar Jadhav is unpicked

 

[Watsupdoc]

Quite strange that Kedar Jadhav is unpicked

Why don’t you pick him?

 

[Thunderbolt14]

You should pick Chahal and Pandya too before someone goes for them [MENTION=65183]freelance_cricketer[/MENTION]

 

[Abdullah719]

Quite strange that Kedar Jadhav is unpicked

Statistically he is a very good option for the lower order

 

[last_knight]

Why don’t you pick him?

[MENTION=65183]freelance_cricketer[/MENTION] will pick Rubel Hussain

 

[Bhaijaan]

Let's see if Roger Twose is available till my turn

 

[Abdullah719]

[MENTION=65183]freelance_cricketer[/MENTION] will pick Rubel Hussain

 

[Watsupdoc]

Btw do you guys really think that Michael Bevan can bat at number 6 or 5 in modern day ODI? His career strike rate ain't that great.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Btw do you guys really think that Michael Bevan can bat at number 6 or 5 in modern day ODI? His career strike rate ain't that great.

Honestly? No

But a legend nonetheless for his era

 

[Watsupdoc]

Honestly? No

But a legend nonetheless for his era

For his era yes no doubt. But in modern day at most he can bat at 4.

He didn’t have a power game.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Also, why is no one picking Imam-ul-haq? He has the fourth highest ODI batting average of all time

 

[mumtaz]

Rohit Sharma

I was deciding between him and Anwar. Once again my patriotic gene took over.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Just checked, Mervin Dhillon is still available.

 

[AFM]

Btw do you guys really think that Michael Bevan can bat at number 6 or 5 in modern day ODI? His career strike rate ain't that great.

Yes, I think so. All greats can adapt to the situation as required. Bevan was a great finisher - his game awareness was unreal.

 

[AFM]

Also, why is no one picking Imam-ul-haq? He has the fourth highest ODI batting average of all time

First name on the sheet for the unpicked XI

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yes, I think so. All greats can adapt to the situation as required. Bevan was a great finisher - his game awareness was unreal.

He didn't have the power game though, so I don't think he would have been able to keep up with the rate. But yes he had great game awareness.

 

[therealAB]

Btw do you guys really think that Michael Bevan can bat at number 6 or 5 in modern day ODI? His career strike rate ain't that great.

Small bats etc. Had a better strike rate than most other batsmen. Also batting first it was 80ish - he tempered it chasing so he always got Aus home

 

[andy0204]

Next pick from Apun ke punter log xi

A kiwi Allrounder



Chris Cairns

 

[therealAB]

[MENTION=139595]Ab Fan[/MENTION]

 

[maddgenius]

That’s a pretty solid top order.

Pretty solid lower order too. 2 reliable, consistent and destructive hitters

 

[maddgenius]

Think I can play Watson at #5 or #6 too. He played at #7 in WC 2007 with a SR of 170+ without getting dismissed even once, as an opener in WC 2011 and floater in WC 2015. Gives me choice to pick either another opener or a middle order bat

 

[Belawal2014]

Surprised Ramesh Powar is still unpicked.

 

[Abdullah719]

Surprised Ramesh Powar is still unpicked.

No one is picking him out of respect for Bhaijaan XI where he is desperately needed

 

[andy0204]

He didn't have the power game though, so I don't think he would have been able to keep up with the rate. But yes he had great game awareness.

Maybe you need to watch this innings

He plays according to the situation

 

[andy0204]

Bhaijaan didn't picked the legendary Dodda Ganesh.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Surprised no one picked Dwayne Leverock yet

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Waisay Don Bradman isn’t explicitly banned in this draft

 

[Watsupdoc]

Maybe you need to watch this innings

He plays according to the situation

What a knock!

I take my words back. Clutch player and that knock was against the players who have been selected in this draft

 

[Watsupdoc]

Waisay Don Bradman isn’t explicitly banned in this draft

Bhaijaan XI knows who to pick next :bradman

 

[Thunderbolt14]

But does bradman have the power game for modern ODIs?

 

[maddgenius]

Decided to play Watson at #6

1- Rohit
2-
3- Kohli
4-
5- Buttler
6- Watson
7- Klusener
8-
9-
10
11- Holding

 

[Watsupdoc]

But does bradman have the power game for modern ODIs?

What about Sir Gary sobers technically he hasn’t been forbidden either and he defo has the power game

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Nah I still prefer Imam

 

[maddgenius]

What about Sir Gary sobers technically he hasn’t been forbidden either and he defo has the power game

Good idea. Picking him next

 

[andy0204]

Another contender for draft picking Sanjeev Sharma

 

[Watsupdoc]

Good idea. Picking him next

Unless someone else picks him before you

 

[andy0204]

For those who didn't picked spinners here are some good spinners you can pick

Richie benaud
Jim Laker
Bill O Reilly

For allrounders you have

Keith Miller
Mike Procter.
