Come on man?! 10 hours? I think 8 hours is more than enough time to pick two players. He could have also given his picks to someone before he left. Let's pick in an hour when his time is up.

8 Hours for back to back picks seems fair to me. I have never seen 16 hours or extension of time provided in the football drafts?

Previously being in the middle was the best.

This is terribly slow though.

Terribly slow...should have completed a couple of rounds today. Maybe from next draft we can have AMs as a must and reduce allowed time further?

Yeah I suppose. Surely Anant messaged his top pick and that changing seems unlikely right?

ABDUL QADIR



Before the master of leg spin Shane Warne arrived on the international scene, Qadir was known as a wizard of spin bowling, mainly because he was the flag-bearer of the rare art in the era dominated by fast bowlers. Warne has emphasised on the fact that Qadir was the inspiration behind his rise.

Steve Waugh later approached Qadir to coach his trump card. Warne recollected an incident in his autobiography. When he visited Qadir, idol and an awe-struck fan got together, bowling fruits on the carpet to show each other their repertoire. That must have been an encounter to die for.

Warne was not the only one: Andy Flower asked Qadir to coach Paul Strang as well.

The Kumble story

Like Waugh and Flower, Tendulkar took his ace spinner to Qadir as well. At that stage of his career Kumble strived for more turn, but Qadir advised him against it: “You want me to tell you how my ball will break more, but I want to tell you that your ball will never break more in your whole life. But you keep bowling variations. In the first three days of a Test this will come in handy for you.”

Imran and the wizard


Imran did not want England to fathom the magic of his secret weapon in 1982. In order to add to the mystique and add to the ‘Wizard of the East’ aura, Imran asked Qadir to spot a goatee for the tour.
