Here's my specialist Wicket keeper:

Ridley Jacobs who had 73 dismissals in 43 innings in the 90s with a dismisals per innings rate of 1.659 which is the highest in the 90s for anyone who has over 50 dismissals.

Most likely the draws need to be made next by a neutral authority. People should begin their writeups on their respective team at the same time too.
Somebody message KM as he will set up the polls I think.

Match format something like QF-----SF----Final,as we got 8 teams, in knock out format.
Or divide this in two group of four each and and top 2 from each group play SF and 2winner plays in the final.

Instead of doing a direct knockout, let's do 2 groups of 4. 2 teams qualify from both groups and go to semi finals.

Pretty much the same format of the ongoing 20 seasons football draft in the mains.

Also, Can any neutral go to this link : http://www.random.org/lists/ and copy the following list :

Shr
Mankini
Bhuvan
Skills
Zlatan
Aldo
Anointed One
Lowkey

And recopy the results back here? Thanks.

Pitch is supposed to be an ideal pitch, which will suit all players equally, hence rendering the result down to the quality of the players involved.

sorry i havent done this draft before. What do you mean by write ups? :P
Nothing much. Firstly you have to post your team in the desired batting order. After that, it is upto you to highlight the key strengths and achievements of your players. And after that, if you want, you can tell us how your team will set out in an innings, both batting and bowling wise. And lastly, you can add some weak points of your opponent that you plan to exploit.

For example, this : https://www.redcafe.net/f12/redcafe-odi-cricket-draft-km-vs-desert-eagle-360347/#post12378841

My team vs Bhuvans


Players profile
GARY KRISTEN
As an international cricketer Gary Kirsten was known by his peers as a man on whom the team could depend in times of crisis. As an opening batsman for South Africa his ability to withstand enormous pressure from the fastest bowlers in the world to the guile and cunning of the most crafted spinners was legendary. The fact that he was able to score a century against every Test playing nation bears testimony to his ability to adapt to all conditions and to understand the dynamics of every bowling attack

SACHIN TENDULKAR
Sachin Tendulkar has been the most complete batsman of his time, the most prolific runmaker of all time, and arguably the biggest cricket icon the game has ever known. His batting is based on the purest principles: perfect balance, economy of movement, precision in stroke-making, and that intangible quality given only to geniuses: anticipation. If he doesn't have a signature stroke - the upright, back-foot punch comes close - it is because he is equally proficient at each of the full range of orthodox shots (and plenty of improvised ones as well) and can pull them out at will.
There are no apparent weaknesses in Tendulkar's game. He can score all around the wicket, off both front foot and back, can tune his technique to suit every condition, temper his game to suit every situation, and has made runs in all parts of the world in all conditions.

AAMIR SOHAIL
A combative left-hand opener, Aamer Sohail was a predominantly back-foot player whose forte was improvisation. He loved to attack, and almost found it impossible to control his aggression. Aamir played a big part in Pakistan's World Cup triumph in 1992.

ALISTAIR CAMPBELL
An elegant left-handed batsman,he's an aggressive batsman and wonderful fielder.He will be my sub for this match.

STEVE WAUGH- CAPTAIN
He is one of the finest captain,won world cup in 1999.great middle order batsmen.technically superior with sound knowledge of the game.He can play under different circumstance.He is cool and collective in his approach.He can attack at right time as well defend when situation arises.The Mr.Perfect.He bowls with great accuracy.His medium pace as troubled lot of top class batsman's.
Had won 2 world cups with Australia, one as captain in 1999.

HANSIE CRONJE - VICE CAPTAIN
With his aggressive batting, intelligent medium-pace bowling and brilliant fielding, Cronje was a formidable competitor.Like steve waugh he got great leadership qualities.he knows his limitations and play best innings when needed.

NEIL FAIRBROTHER
Fairbrother carved out a career for himself as England's leading one-day batsman in the middle order for much of the 1990s, picking the gaps with scientific precision, dabbing the ball behind square, occasionally hitting over the top on the leg side - and running like hell. He always had a good eye for quick singles. An useful lower middle order batsman.

MOIN KHAN
An effective rather than stylish batsman, Moin relishes a crisis and has held together Pakistan's lower order time and again. His quick feet and improvisation are even more productive in one-day cricket where he scores at speed. Behind the stumps, he is the chirpiest of keepers.

KAPIL DEV
Kapil Dev was the greatest pace bowler India has produced, and their greatest fast-bowling allrounder.He got great accuracy and can swing either ways and troubled any batsman.His economy is below 4.0 which is simply outstanding.A naturally aggressive player, he often helped India in difficult situations by taking the attack to the opposition.
Other notable feature is that he is world cup winning captain for India in 1983.

DANIEL VETTORI
Left arm spin bowler, his mastery of drift and subtle variations in flight, speed and length earned him a reputation as New Zealand's most dangerous player.It was that guile and ability to confuse the batsmen that sometimes turned what seemed like innocuous deliveries into unplayable hand grenades by the time they reached the other end.He is also a handy lower order batsman useful with his bat.

PAUL REIFFEL
Paul Reiffel was a nagging right-arm seam bowler and a very capable lower order batsman. Throughout a career which saw him appear in many Tests and one-day internationals for his country, he was a player who distinguished himself with his ability to bowl an awkward line and length and to complement it with a capacity to cut the ball both ways off the pitch. His unstinting accuracy and control was also a key to his success.

COURTNEY WALSH
My opening right arm fast bowler, is one of those special bowler who work restlessly,bowl with great accuracy and pace.His economy stat shows us how good this monster is.His deadly line and length as troubled all top class batsman.A physiological phenomenon, Courtney Walsh probably bowled faster for longer than any man in history. His spirit was as unbreakable as his body.His action lacked the elegance of those bowlers, but its economy and his natural athleticism ensured he was accurate and durable, even over very long spells and he used his height (about 198 cm, or six-foot-six) to extract occasionally vicious bounce.

If there is one sport I can't stand, it's cricket. Any time I turn on SSN and the're talking about bloody cricket I change channel.
I wasted most part of time playing this game in my school day.I simply loved that game during that period.
