Is the draft over or any picks left
If yes, I [MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION] and [MENTION=70195]AFM[/MENTION] can discuss our unpicked xi. Otherwise we will wait till last pick.

5 picks left
It doesn’t matter, ATG or not ATG.
Any given day, your team will get defeated lol
Don’t get too personal. I am just stating the fact lol
Jk, you have a great team.
Buddy, come have a round with Graham Gooch. Possibly the best player of the GOAT Windies Pace Attack ever. And that’s just my opener. You think Akhtar and Asif stand a chance?
10 of last 20 picks were in my radar. from 5 remaining picks, add 4 more.
Still some ATG players to pick for unpicked xi though.

Mohd. Asif is the most difficult bowler to face in entire draft. I am sure we will have a few nicks from these oldies.Yep these modern bowlers who are not ATG’s won’t chip greats like Barrington, Gooch and Hammond
My final XI
1. Saeed Anwar
2. Sanath Jayasuria
3. Steve Smith
4. Sachin Tendulkar
5. Virat Kohli
6. Andrew Flintoff
7. Brendon McCullum (WK)
8. Ravichandran Ashwin
9. Vernon Philander
10. Mitchell Starc
11. Pat Cummins
I'll do my complete write up on the XI tomorrow
Quick question, can I make Warner my WK?
Can we do trades if both teams are interested? Even with just a 24 hour trade window I feel like there could be some win-win deals
I would like to select
Shivnarine Chanderpaul
So it's a good thing I don't have any West Indian pacer as Gooch averages 18 in 10 matches he played against Lillee![]()

hahaha maybe the least difficult
...sorry draft is still goin on
off courseThis isn't the PPCL draft BTW.
PPCL warmups games should end in a day or two, after which the season will start - looking to see you active and among the runs!![]()
Same Lillee who has a 36 average in Sri Lanka, 101 average in Pakistan, and not a single test wicket against Windies in Windies? Greenidge and Lara will have lots of fun with him I’m sure![]()
lol if these oldies were still alive and faced Asif, they would’ve agreed with me along with KP.
hahaha maybe the least difficult

You expect David Warner to keep to Murali?![]()
Yeah tell that to 100's of experts, cricket magazines who have put Lillee in their all time test XI![]()
Let's decide on what we want to do for polling, guys.
I think we should start the poll as soon as all the picks are in. There's no way of knowing when people can send in their writeups and this has already dragged on for a bit. We can use the writeups we have right now and add the others later.
I’ll send you my writeup in a bit. Will you take care of formatting or should I make it fancy etc myself
Are we going with the ranking system then?
Also we have waited so much for draft picks, we can certainly give one day for team write ups after completion of all draft picks
My vote goes to the ranking system
Yeah posters would only need to rank top 3 teams and simple post like the following one should suffice to be counted:
1- Team A
2- Team B
3- Team C
[MENTION=151884]Kaddy[/MENTION] and [MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION] also preferred the ranking system
Only 1 pick made during last 36 hours
These last picks shouldn't have taken this long tbh especially when the remaining teams need players with different roles. Should have been messaged to Abdullah in advance
[MENTION=132969]Da_Future_Knick[/MENTION]
I requested you to trade my last pick with aliaster cook.
Now you have the most unbalanced XI.
You have no keeper
Three openers and your third fast bowler is ben stokes.
My last pick is
Sir Clyde Walcott
Yup I do.
One suggestion — why not do both? Might get more people to vote that way (on the poll) but we can still have the preferred ranking system. Maybe this way, people who come for the poll might stay for the ranking as well. Just an idea. No harm in doing both
Great pick. Another one from my unselected XI![]()
Three openers and a Rahul Dravid)
Now I will request him to be more careful while opening.Great pick but [MENTION=151884]Kaddy[/MENTION] needed an opener and Walcott opened only twice for West Indies and averaged 8 as an opener
On a serious note: Walcott played most of his career as no. 3 where he averaged over 50. So i think he can play as an opener as well.Now I will request him to be more careful while opening.
Surprised, a quality opening batsmen in a tough era of bowling was unpicked.
English?
