Cheers mate

 

I am sure if there is enough interest we could do a similar test draft once this is over.

It would be nice to have a T20 draft as well.

I have a suggestion, how about you also randomize Toss & Day/night for each game as well. That way we will utilize more aspects of the ODI games like which team has good chasers or dew might be the factor in a day night game which will nullify the spin threat of Warna or Murli. It makes the person who is voting do a bit more analysis if he/she is interested.

Yes, toss is indeed a good option, maybe from next draft.

Average of 36 at strike rate of 82 against non minnows, average of of 15 in world cups, average of 36 in finals, 26 in quater finals, seems pretty mediocre to me, who would you replace him with in the above squads (except jayawardene of course)?

Graeme Smith probably 

 

but yeah thought his numbers were better

 

[OpeningBatsman]

Trescothic COULD have been something big if he had played long enough imo. Quit cricket just as he was about to explode. Loved the helmet, loved the stance.

Actually I have another suggestion yaar, may be you should allow each player to have a team of 14-15 players. So that they can use different team against different opponents. In the current scenario, there would not be much to think after each player has played 1 game and everyone will mostly continue to vote for the same team if there are not many changes done to the playing XI. You can allow each player to choose 2 or 3 more players if everyone agrees.

[Sooda]

Definitely do a test cricket one once this is over :D maybe with a proviso that only players who debuted after WW2 are eligible...

[Sooda]

A team from the leftovers:

 

Greenidge, Trescothick, Brad Haddin, M. Yusuf, D Martyn, A Matthews, A Razzaq, Shakib Ul Hasan, Muhstaq Ahmed, J Gillespie, N Bracken

Trescothick was not mediocre. Abrupt ending to his International career. Scoring runs a plenty for Somerset.

How did my team do ?  I couldn't follow it all the way :(
