Don't give hints. Let's team up to pick an unpicked-xi after conclusion of draft. I have this in mind since beginning of this draft. And honestly there needs to be an unpicked-xi.
Let's see how many of Managers will want to trade with us.

Great batting lineup but you better have some top class bowlers up your sleeve if you want to even think about bowling the opposition out

This is looking like a very dangerous team.
 
I am going to pick the 3rd greatest spinner of all time by most metrics, the great Australian legspinner Bill O'Reilly

My team so far:

1.
2.
3. George Headley
4.
5. Garry Sobers
6. Kumar Sangakarra
7. Keith Miller
8.
9. Fred Trueman
10. Bill O'Reilly
11. Joel Garner

not sure if I will play miller @ 7 or 8, but I feel that bowling depth is my great strength. Feel there are a lot of great openers out there to pick up later
 
1. Sehwag
2. Alastair Cook
3. Rahul Dravid
4.
5. Javed Miandad
6.
7.
8.Wasim Akram
9.
10. Jimmy Anderson
11. Murli

Thanks bro.

Bit surprised (pleasantly) to have got hold of a proper A-listers line up this far down in the draft.

Character, larger than life personality, match winning ability is the theme i am trying to build my XI on. So far so good.

Scavenger hunt begins now which is going to be the most exciting phase. A lot of names are gonna come up which are gonna surprise many.

Cheers, your team looking formidable too

Let's see what you have in mind for openers spot. A lot of people waiting

You and Kaddy are going to be in a tussle here he hasn't picked his openers either

I feel that after the top tier of openers (only Hutton, Hobbs, Gavaskar), the difference between remaining openers, like Sehwag, Hayden, Greenidge, Smith and other unpicked ones is quite small. I feel that there are a lot of quality openers remaining. Hutton was going to be my next pick though, he is class

I am in agreement

Some as good openers are our there ready to be picked

In ATG teams every opener doesn't have to be a trail blazer. Enough firepower in middle morder

You were online an hour ago yet didn't make the pick :danish
 
[MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION]

Think we should set a deadline. Draft is moving way too slow
 
Drafts normally move slow. People have lives, sleeping etc. For the ODI one however I reckon we do a speed draft one night, 2 hours and done

Which are the other 2?
Click to expand...

Yours, Raymann, Thunderbolt are also nicely shaping up.

If this was a round robin the semis race seems between these 5 with Ahmad Haris and Kaddy having an outside chance :yk
 
I am a bit worried that older players like Trueman, O'Reilly will get underrated in voting due to vintage, despite them both being top tier ATG's
 
This has been the most unproductive day.

Come on man what can be more important than an online draft. It's not like us we guys have lives lol
 
I think as a penalty Shoaib Akhtar should be undrafted from Team Bezli
 
[MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION] Would be great if you message your both picks to Abdullah before going offline in case [MENTION=152035]Bezli[/MENTION] doesn't show up till then

[MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION] Your two picks are due.

With the 80th pick in the 2020 Hypothetical Test Draft, the Rayymen select

Kevin Pietersen, the man with no weakness, could bat in any situation at any tempo in all types of conditions.

With the 81st pick in the 2020 Hypothetical Test Draft, the Rayymen select

Chris Gayle, arguably the most explosive batsman to ever set foot on a cricket pitch.

What a pick,two Trailblazer batsmen.
We know Chris Gayle due to his T20 exploits but he is an underrated as a test batsman.
 
[MENTION=152035]Bezli[/MENTION] picks Mohammad Asif.

You're up [MENTION=135989]world cup captain[/MENTION].

I would like to have a match up with this team. Asif will get Williamson and Pieterson in one over ;)

Gayle in test is a walking wicket. I will have Anil attack him.

Anil Kumble will get annihilated by the Gayle Storm

:gayle

Do not be surprised if we see six sixes for the first time in Tests.

Bro, bring it on. Haha love the challenge there.

I think Anil will win the contest but it will be a good one.
 
Rayyman has formed a great team. Well done.

Some volatile players but if they click could be chaos
 
[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION], will we be having one for ODIs?
 
[MENTION=65183]freelance_cricketer[/MENTION] [MENTION=134789]maddgenius[/MENTION] can you send your picks in to the mods unless you plan to be online for the next few hours?
 
I will pick a top 10 all time batsmen, with claims to be > Sachin, Lara etc. I welcome Walter Hammond into my team

Ugh. Had my eyes on him. Fantastic pick. They say he spoke very less. Could generate more cover drives than words.
 
Bhaijaan XI takes a huge sigh of relief as they lock down their batting line-up by welcoming New Zealand's greatest test batsman ever and a legend of the game, the late MARTIN CROWE

In the eyes of Wasim Akram, the best batsman he ever bowled to.

Superstar of 1992 world cup.

Mr Dependable, Impact Player, Match winner, Legend

Welcome, Sir

Webp.net-resizeimage.jpg

Dare we day, Bhaijaan XI now has the best batting line-up in the competition with the ideal mix of experience, consistency, impact and modern day firepower!

1. Jack Hobbs
2. Barry Richards
3. Martin Crowe
4. Viv Richards
5. Clive Lloyd (c)
6. Kapil Dev
7. Ian Botham
8.
9.
10.
11. Allan Donald

[MENTION=142013]ahmadharis1[/MENTION] [MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]


You both have two picks each now. Be prepared.

We have a 5-6 picks very quickly now if all come online

Stunning pick.

Rohan Kanhai is iconic.

Sunil Gavaskar named his son after him.

Thanks mate. Picked him ahead of few other legends because of consistency and an excellent record everywhere. Double centuries in India and Pakistan so another great player of spin. Have a really solid middle order now for all conditions

1- Hutton
3- Kanhai
4- Border
5- Flower
6- Waugh
8- Hadlee
9- Warne
10- Lillee
 
Hope [MENTION=142013]ahmadharis1[/MENTION] has messaged someone his picks otherwise it's gonna be a long wait

In terms of balance this is arguably the best team in the draft so far.
