Hypothetical Test draft - 10 participants to pick their teams [Completed]

My next pick is the most sublime batsman for my lower-middle order - arguably the most artistic bat in the ATG Aussie team of the 2000s: Damien Martyn.

A 250 run partnership between Lara and Martyn would be a delight to watch.
 
Have another truly majestic pick coming up. Just waiting on [MENTION=142013]ahmadharis1[/MENTION] to make his picks now.
 
Kanhai a hell of a pick

I was going to invite the more active members of this draft
- [MENTION=134789]maddgenius[/MENTION]
- [MENTION=65183]freelance_cricketer[/MENTION]
- [MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]
[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] also will have a guaranteed spot due to the support he has given, if he wants to participate.

That should give us about 5, so then I will open the rest of the spots up

Looking forward to your unpicked XI for this draft as well! No doubt some insane players still out there
 
[MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION]/@last_knight that gives us 8. Two more in for ODI draft
 
I would like to participate in the ODI draft as well. Been an avid follower of the game since 1992.

Cmon why can we not have eleven? Really wanted to be a part of this.
 
Have to put a limit to prevent dilution sorry. If Abdullah cannot take part you can be in. Their will be future drafts arranged

I am definitely in :inti

We need to tweak the rules a bit this time to quicken it up.
 
Limit to 12 hours [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION]. People need to sleep.

We could also require to submit picks to a mod
 
Sorry limited to 10 to prevent dilution.

Future drafts will be held however

Requiring is a great idea. Surely it is not too much effort to submit your top 2 picks 2 turns in advance
 
Yep [MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION]. MenIng would likely be ok to do that, he has been very helpful through the process
 
Btw, what happened to this draft? No new picks in last few hours.

8 hours should be enough imo. The person should message his pick to a mod before going to sleep or else risk getting skipped
 
Hell I’m online and even I’ve messaged my top 2 picks to Abdullah bhai
 
My bad everyone, had work all day

my 2 picks.


Ravichandran Ashwin

So far...

4. Sachin Tendulkar
5. Virat Kohli
6. Andrew Flintoff

[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]'s pick is Michael Clarke.

[MENTION=134789]maddgenius[/MENTION]
 
Alan Keith Davidson being the 2nd best left arm pacer of all time and more than a handy batsman is really disappointed to get picked as 83rd pick in an ATG draft. His disappointment turns into depression when he sees the likes of Starc, Cummins and Johnson getting picked way ahead of him.

He has a message for ya'll

Bhaijaan XI welcomes one of the greatest ever wicket keeper batsmen in the history of test cricket, the ever so classy Mr. Alec Stewart.

Apart from being an excellent and reliable wicket keeper, Alec Stewart was a respected batsman in the 1990s.

Wasim Akram put him at #6 in the list of the best batsmen he faced in an interview once.

He carried an aura when ever he came to bat. One of the most stylish batsmen ever.

The exclusive to of Bat grip revolutions in gloves. Can't remember anyone else doing it. May be Afridi on rare occasions.
 
Was going to be picking Davidson. Instead, I will pick a man who was just as good, Ray Lindwall to team up with his old mate Miller
 
Guys hurry up seriously I’ve waited over a day since I last picked
:rosco

You have a great team but I think Mohd Asif and Shoaib Akhtar will get your team out under 200 runs. ;)

Don’t go crazy on me, I’m just challenging your team 😁😁😁
 
[MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION] can you go over your ODI list again and make sure everyone is an active poster
 
[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]. Only active members from this draft were retained. I know Abdullah, Ab Fan, [MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION] are active. Cannot be sure of the others. I am keeping a list of who is not active to ensure activity in future drafts

Haha i was actually tempted to go for Myke and put Kapil - Botham - Proctor in there together just for fun :yk

They would have called me a mad man :akhtar

I was deliberating between Proctor and Davidson. In hindsight, should have picked Proctor as I can't get a better number 7 than him who could easily play as a bowler alone. Would have easily got a decent 4th pacer in the last round.. Now I will have to compromise a bit on the batting depth and play Hadlee at #7 with Davidson and Warne at #8 and #9.
 
Brothers anyone who won't be online for coming few hours please send your picks to a moderator

I think we can finish the draft within 12 hours
 
Proctor, Davidson, Lindwall are all bonafide ATG's. Great pick ups for this late
 
And I am an active lurker and a stuck at home professor. Have plenty of time on my hands to participate.
