All time ODI Draft

[brewlio]

How the hell is crappy not in the final? Wow. Just wow. Viv and Kallis v Lamb and Shiv in terms of runs at 4 and 5 is a no brainer. Shiv might be decent at staying around but by feck it sometimes takes him ages to get going. Never rated that fat little dumpling Lamb anyway, only played for England as he wouldn't have got in in his native country. Also Warney is better than Murali (even after the shoulder op) in terms of variation and can turn in on right angles in any conditions.

Edit: looking back on that SF thread it says 10 a piece. Don't tell me the old integrity coin toss was used? To redress the balance of this travesty I shall be voting for KM, and even would if he was putting 11 Mcihael Goodman's out.

@prath92 picking Kallis after shitting on him from a mountain last game

To be fair, I did defend him a lot. I don't go after players unless I think they are completely overrated (Malinga etc.)

Looking forward to hear how Bracken is better than Hadlee and all

His stats are the same as Imran's I think

Argh. Wish you had upgraded Ajmal.

What I expected. Warne to replace Ajmal.

Nah(feck off with the comparison). I just thought that people shouldn't rate him on test records as the trend was having IK on the team means sure win.

You are though. If people read my posts, I'm usually objective other than somebody I don't like. I didn't even bother arguing against the likes of Viv/Kallis and some players even in the last game.

Feck off brewlio. You are probably still bitter about some old werewolf stuff.

That would atleast mean that i'll be starting on 0 instead of -1. Thank you.

That's probably because you have got your AM to say the biased stuff. Don't take the high road on this one.

why would you be at -1?

 

[NM]

You do remember I've argued AGAINST my AM in both of the last two games? I'll happily take the high road with the kind of stuff that happened in your game against Samid

 

[KM]

The only thing you argued against was when he said that Chanderpaul was 100 times better than Kallis. It'd have been sheer stupidity to not argue against that. As I said, easy to take the high road when you've got someone else to do the dirty work.

why would you be at -1?

Donaldo.

Donadol.

Did it in the last game too, when he made remarks? Think it was Ambrose wouldn't be effective or something. Go through the threads, or my football drafts. Same strategy. Can't argue all day.

PS. Kallis was a much better ODI all rounder than Imran

Different roles I think. Kallis was a batting all rounder and Imran was a bowling all rounder.

Agree 100%. I was just trying to rile you up as you seemed to be getting annoyed easily. I thought it was very clear we would go for Kallis (6th bowler + the middle order bat I needed) and was delighted you didn't block him. I expected you to go for Warne, but had to block Viv to not take the chance.

Why didn't you upgrade Ajmal? He is an eyesore there.

Edit: Actually Ajmal or middle order bat. Imran is a lower order bat really

 

[KM]

Watson seemed to be hated around here, pretty sure I've lost many votes in this draft due to the fact nobody seemed to rate Watson as a player.

Not a chance I wasn't blocking Viv mate. Too big a risk to take.

I didn't actually think you'd take Kallis. A slow run accumulator is the alst thing your middle order needed.

 

[Samid]

Watson has been dropped? Mental.

 

[KM]

Watson has been dropped? Mental.

Suggestions would be nice.

 

[Boycott]

Take out Andre Russell for Watson.

Russell is a bits and pieces cricketer, at least peak Watson was a good contributor in both facets.

We can agree to disagree there.

Wasn't he crap in the middle order though? I'm going off memory.

 

[KM]

Even Russell isn't playing ffs

 

[Boycott]

We can agree to disagree there.




Wasn't he crap in the middle order though? I'm going off memory.

Not so good you're right but his qualities still make him a better bet than Russell.

Russell has no place this far into an all time draft.

 

[Samid]

Suggestions would be nice.

Tendulkar, Amla, Root, Aravinda, Imran, Buttler, Watto, Hadlee, Donald, Gillespie, Ajmal

Better.

 

[prath92]

@KM I agree that the 100 times comment was over the top but the context is important. Crappy was saying that in case we lose 3 wickets and get to shiv then we can't build an innings which is obviously not true. In such a situation shiv is someone who would be more experienced than anyone else as he has done it multiple times.

As for bias obviously everyone is going to have bias. No one is going to say 'yeah his team is better so I'm not going to win.' Obviously We are going to try and bring the other team down. You did it too vs Samid too when you Called his bowling attack rubbish. We all say stuff Like that. Do you think if crappy had Murali and we had warne he would say 'yeah warne is better'? Of course not. He would make the same arguments we made and we would make the same arguments he made.

It's also funny that people want to compare Viv and Kallis vs shiv and lamb and say that we aren't good when there are 8 other players most of whom are superior. Like Akram, Dhoni Hayden Roberts and all. (Taylor cairns vs Dhoni Flintoff is a mismatch). Also funny to say that Murali can't spin in any pitch. I guess he was lucky to manage 534 wickets in ODI what with his inability to spin the ball.

Yeah, don't blame you. It was Prath going loco in the thread.

 

[NM]

Tendulkar, Amla, Root, Aravinda, Imran, Buttler, Watto, Hadlee, Donald, Gillespie, Ajmal

Better.

Matthews > Watson and he is a joke in the middle order IMO..

Anyway, @Edgar Allan Pillow @KM @Ijazz17

we drop Shoaib Malik and are ready for the conditions when @KM is

 

[NM]

Tendulkar, Amla, Root, Aravinda, Imran, Buttler, Watto, Hadlee, Donald, Gillespie, Ajmal

Better.

Terrible team. Simply terrible. Short fat opener, a guy who aussies think is a terrorist, a guy named after a tree part, another short dude, a guy who could only player because he looked good.. I could go on and on.

 

[prath92]

Yeah, don't blame you. It was Prath going loco in the thread.

going loco is a bit much? there were maybe 3-4 posts about the whole incident. Most of the cricket threads would be similar. Later posts about shiv were people writing him and Lamb off and us defending them. If thats going loco, most threads would have similar series of posts and you did similarly for yuvi vs jaddu in one of your games too? To be honest, last game, there were biased comments from both sides. Like the "expecting Kohli to fall early to pace". This is someone who holds good record in most countries and will probably be one of the batsmen of the era. And he was being made out as if he is Vinod Kambli 2.0 struggling to a bit of pace. Its what people do. Frankly, i think the game was this close because people looked objectively and voted not listening to any of our views

I am talking about the chanderpaul being 100 times the player Kallis is only. Nothing else. I'm just pulling your leg over it anyways.

 

[KM]

Start tomorrow please.

 

[NM]

Start tomorrow please.

I won't be able to post much.. I'm in the final two weeks before my project goes live so during weekdays will be hard for me.

Serious question: Does anybody remember Donald bowling first change? I don't remember it all but cricinfo does.. Wtf?

 

[prath92]

I am talking about the chanderpaul being 100 times the player Kallis is only. Nothing else.

yeah i told this before too. the 100 times thing was over the top i agree. If you remember I was reseponding to " if opposition loses their top order early, Lamb/Chanders are liable to sink the whole ship early and leave Dhoni/Flintoff too much to do". Surely thats a situation tailor made for chanderpaul? The 100 times was more due to annoyance than anything at having to defend something chanderpaul is best at. As I said, I do like Kallis.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Will post toss and conditions in a bit.

 

[Samid]

Will post toss and conditions in a bit.

Toss should be after the players have chosen their 12th man imo. Regulation.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

@KM @NM @prath92

Pitch Condition: Hard deck. Supports seam bowling. Medium support for bounce and less for spinners.

I'll announce toss results after both managers post their dropped player and 12 man team (with nationality).

@prath92 picking Kallis after shitting on him from a mountain last game

Seriously Exactly the pick they needed though. Some one to anchor the innings and provide a legitimate extra bowling option.

Why have n't we had any pitch supporting spin since semis? Why not play on a ground like MCG that has a bit of everything for everyone?

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

There were 5 pitch conditions I posted before. I just randomize it for the match.

A bit of everything can take away pitch related discussions totally and make it even for both teams.

Km dropped Watson right? And we dropped Shoaib Malik?

I'm dropping Andre Russell.
