Are people ok with me gatecrashing first pick? All I’m thinking of is the integrity of the draft...

Cheers for noticing I was left out mate. Gonna have to put a hit out on Max for that

I’m fine with it.

I have received no bribes from Samie. However, that does not mean I am not open for buisness.

I see mine didn't come through on time then...

Fiasco · « **Reply #85 on:** May 13, 2020, 10:35:27 am »

Right I'll make a pick shall I? If there is any dispute then I'll happily change my pick to one of Gerry's desire.

I swear to God I was 50/50 between Kohli and Kallis. The best all-rounder of all time or the best ODI batsman of all time.

ODI's is a batsman's game isn't it?

Apologies for missing your name on the draft order. I was just going off my opening post. You can stay in the same position for the rest of the draft. I have updated the order.

Saint Kopite · « **Reply #95 on:** May 13, 2020, 01:10:54 pm »

FFS.

I was hoping one of my two favourite players was gone.

This will be brutal.

Was torn between him an Dhoni. Had an easy choice in the end.

Ticks off three boxes for my team. Elite keeper, opener, attacking batsman.

Saint Kopite · « **Reply #97 on:** May 13, 2020, 01:17:53 pm »

Went with AB.

I fill the role of a great batsman, keeper and a big-hitting finisher all at once.

Might need someone to pick for me. Bed is calling.

Haha. Yeah. But AB is a different beast in limited overs cricket.

Top-5 ODI batsmen of all time imo.

There are a couple of batsmen who I rate higher but considering the fact that he can keep wickets, and has done at a spectacular level and is a proper finisher, his value is priceless. Every ODI team needs a good finisher who can accelerate late in the innings. AB is one of the best at it after Dhoni imo.

Feel free to send it. Might need a few selections in case it gets round to you again.

Do you have a choice in mind? Send it my way if you do. Not sure if durlmints is around at the moment (anyone know where he’s based?) as not sure who he is licking yet either.

Batting balance is going to be interesting in the teams at the end.

Defo. Incredible eye. The way he can shift through the gears is great to watch.

Yep.

Some of the shots he hits are a joke as well.

Durl is probably in your bushes mate.

But he's of this green and not pleasant lands.

Difficult cos it really depends on what happens in the next picks. Annoying.

IMO give a 3-man short list.

Especially to one of the guys who has picked already. You could have given it to me but I am not sure if I'll be online after a while.

There is no time limit on first picks.

Pigeon. It might be a batsman’s game but you’re not getting anything from Glenn’s ten overs.
