Hypothetical ODI draft

[last_knight]

Next pick from Apun ke Punter log XI

He is the world cup winning captain

The Rikishi of cricket

View attachment 101033

Arjuna Ranatunga

For me, The Best ODI CAPTAIN.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Would have surely picked Qadir had I realized [MENTION=139595]Ab Fan[/MENTION] was still without a spinner

You can pick Rashid Khan

 

[Ab Fan]

I was scared you would pick him in this round before me. But I had another name in my mind.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Clive Lloyd, a great captain as he is, believes in every single words of his vice captain and is quite delighted to have him on board.

Its, <B>Abdul Qadir</B>

Picked the wrong Qadir. Surprised that Usman Qadir hasn’t been picked

 

[Belawal2014]

Jacob Oram if any of y'all need an AR.

 

[andy0204]

Noooooooooooo

Yes

 

[Ab Fan]

Qadir was also a capable hitter like Wasim. So, he bats at 9.

Wasim
Lillee
Botham
Qadir
---------

My off spin option is Aravinda de Silva and medium pace is my captain.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Jacob Oram if any of y'all need an AR.

No names please - ruins the fun

 

[Watsupdoc]

Who is next? Abdullah?

 

[maddgenius]

I was scared you would pick him in this round before me. But I had another name in my mind.

I thought only [MENTION=555]mumtaz[/MENTION] was without a spinner so was going to pick Qadir in this round before him

 

[andy0204]

Qadir was also a capable hitter like Wasim. So, he bats at 9.

Wasim
Lillee
Botham
Qadir
---------

My off spin option is Aravinda de Silva and medium pace is my captain.

It can't beat mine

Cairns
Imran
Hogg
Vaas

Vaas and Hogg have half centuries.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Jacob Oram if any of y'all need an AR.

Good suggestion but i need a top class bowler who can bat like mitchell johnson

 

[Bhaijaan]

News report
The news leaked before sachin could announce it ,no one knows who leaked it but people are suspecting mohammad amir.
The batsman is babar azam

By the way this was a nice guess.

I had not dropped the Afridi hint by then. Well done bro.

 

[Abdullah719]

Who is next? Abdullah?

I need some time to evaluate after [MENTION=149506]andy0204[/MENTION] stole my pick.

Arjuna was perfect for my team

 

[Watsupdoc]

[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] pick bhi karlo yaar

 

[Ab Fan]

I thought only [MENTION=555]mumtaz[/MENTION] was without a spinner so was going to pick Qadir in this round before him

People are picking two spinners yaar, we didn't had one. I was confused to pick between two leg spinner so I thought even if one gets picked, I will take second but luckily none got selected.

 

[Abdullah719]

After much thought, I have decided to go with...

Mohammad Azharuddin.

 

[Belawal2014]

Did you mean this guy?

 

[maddgenius]

People are picking two spinners yaar, we didn't had one. I was confused to pick between two leg spinner so I thought even if one gets picked, I will take second but luckily none got selected.

Qadir was going to be my spinner. Kumble was the backup option. Was he your 2nd spinner too?

 

[Watsupdoc]

[MENTION=134789]maddgenius[/MENTION] you are up.

 

[Bhaijaan]

After much thought, I have decided to go with...

Mohammad Azharuddin.

My next pick.

Take a bow brother.

I lol hard at some very ordinary batsmen picked so far ahead of him.

 

[Belawal2014]

Mohammad Azharuddin.

good pick.

 

[last_knight]

[MENTION=134789]maddgenius[/MENTION] you are up.

[MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION] I can suggest you wrt next pick

 

[Watsupdoc]

Seems like this one will take a while

Bhai log let me know when it's my turn

 

[Ab Fan]

Qadir was going to be my spinner. Kumble was the backup option. Was he your 2nd spinner too?

I am not sure if I will go with two spin options, I didn't had Kumble in mind. Very good economical bowler and did a respectable job for India.

 

[maddgenius]

Morne Morkel
[MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION]

 

[Watsupdoc]

The Hakeems pick David Warner

 

[Abdullah719]

My next pick.

Take a bow brother.

I lol hard at some very ordinary batsmen picked so far ahead of him.

good pick.

Needed a leadership option too...

[Thunderbolt14]

Morne Morkel
[MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION]

[Ab Fan]

With a genius like Abdul Qadir's inclusion to my team, the Genius XI team is

Virender Sehwag

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

Dennis Lillee

All the batsmen capable of changing gears when needed except Sehwag who gets free license to smack the bowlers .

[last_knight]

Best fielding unit so far. May be [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] and [MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION] can compete this squad wrt fielding.

Batting is with someone like Pollock at #8

 

[maddgenius]

You recommended Morkel?

Chose him over Bracken, Mcdermott, Ntini because of his verstality.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Glad you listened to my advice

Which advice?

1- Rohit

3- Kohli
4- Clarke (c)
5- Buttler
6- Watson
7- Klusener
8- Archer
9-
10- Morkel
11- Holding

Qadir at 9 would have been perfect. Really regret not picking him in the previous round.

 

[mumtaz]

I will pick Mohammad Yousuf.

 

[Abdullah719]

Am I missing something here?

 

[andy0204]

[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]

 

[Abdullah719]

We're going to use the same points-based results system, right? Top 3.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Sorry was delivering some announcements at PPCL Academy. Will make my picks now

 

[Ab Fan]

We're going to use the same points-based results system, right? Top 3.

Yes, it made sense. The second and third best gets their due as well.

 

[maddgenius]

We're going to use the same points-based results system, right? Top 3.

Yeah it's good. Only 9 votes have been cast in the poll so far

Also, only 14,15 posters have rated the teams so far including the participants. Even some of the participants haven't ranked the teams yet including [MENTION=65183]freelance_cricketer[/MENTION]

Was expecting atleast 40-50 posters to rank the teams

 

[maddgenius]

Wondering if there would be any trades happening in the trade window

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Thunderstorm XI picks its second opener to partner Dada, the Universe Boss and best striker of the ball of all time, Mr. Chris Gayle.

Thunderstorm XI was tempted to pick Sarwan as well but for our second pick, we will choose one of the most resilient players to ever step up in a world cup and carry his team. Welcome, Mr. Kane Williamson.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Thunderstorm XI:

1. Sourav Ganguly
2. Chris Gayle
3. Kane Williamson
4. Martin Crowe
5. Javed Miandad

7. Sir Richard Hadlee

Why pick Gayle, your team was already strong enough

 

[Ab Fan]

Gayle gone, I think [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] will also take one more opener.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Come on guys...

Let's make the picks quick

I think this can end soon

 

[Abdullah719]

Gayle gone, I think [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] will also take one more opener.

I need two openers.

Some solid opening options still available. The likes of Salman Butt, Azhar Ali, etc.

 

[maddgenius]

I can give you a great name

 

[Watsupdoc]

[MENTION=555]mumtaz[/MENTION] bhai choose kar le

 

[Ab Fan]

I need two openers.

Shastri is also available. He gives an extra SLA option also.

 

[maddgenius]

Can't believe [MENTION=555]mumtaz[/MENTION] bhai chose Yousaf over Kane

 

[Watsupdoc]

Think the #6 is obvious. All other teams have a keeper so you may as well announce your last pick too

Mark Boucher

 

[Watsupdoc]

Wicket keeper le lete..

He knows something we don’t

 

[Abdullah719]

[MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION] too

I also need another opener

I think you should focus on completing your bowling lineup in this round

 

[maddgenius]

Same here

How was he left unpicked till the end of round 9 is beyond me. Would have picked him ahead of Clarke but didn't want to bat either Kohli or him out of their preferred position

 

[last_knight]

Wicket keeper le lete..

Sahi kaha. Miandad Sir keeping karay gay kia ab.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

I need two openers.

Mudassar Nazar!

 

[maddgenius]

I think you should focus on completing your bowling lineup in this round

Bowling lineup is complete bro

Holding
Archer
Morkel

Klusener
Watson

Clarke

Would pick any leftover spinner in the last round

 

[maddgenius]

Wicket keeper le lete..

No one is going to pick a keeper now so he can easily pick his keeper at the end.

 

[Abdullah719]

Bowling lineup is complete bro

Holding
Archer
Morkel

Klusener
Watson

Clarke

Would pick any leftover spinner in the last round

Leave the opener for the last round

 

[Watsupdoc]

How was he left unpicked till the end of round 9 is beyond me. Would have picked him ahead of Clarke but didn't want to bat either Kohli or him out of their preferred position

Same with Babar.

I guess some people preferred the oldies over these two

 

[Ab Fan]

No one is going to pick a keeper now so he can easily pick his keeper at the end.

Yeah, got it. Weird he will have only 5 prolific batsmen.

 

[maddgenius]

Btw, I'm thinking to pick a keeper now to trade him with Vettori later on [MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]

 

[andy0204]

Same with Babar.

I guess some people preferred the oldies over these two

Don't worry I have some plan B

 

[Ab Fan]

Don't worry I have some plan B

How does my team looks like, buddy?

 

[andy0204]

How does my team looks like, buddy?

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

 

[maddgenius]

[MENTION=555]mumtaz[/MENTION] bhai Your turn

 

[mumtaz]

Steve Smith is my pick.
