Draft: The Exclusive Club Draft

[icyman]

While I was SO inclined to some of the great options available, my next pick is too far down and I don't want to miss this guy.

Mr.360, possibly the greatest all format batsman of the modern era. Fastest century, ten 50+ scores including 4 ODI WC hundreds at an average over 63 and SR is 117. His ability to keep wickets brings more balance to the side.

My pick: AB de Villiers

Ohh, it's a combined one. My bad!

 

[noducksallowed]

He came a bit too early for the age of limited overs cricket, but the blueprint of all modern cricketers and the GOAT himself:

Sir Garfield "Greatest Of All Time" Sobers

I easily have the best proxy pick.

@icyman

That's turning into a decent XI...not as good as mine or second place cerealkiller but its getting there.

I think you missed a trick in picking some of the top guys but picked decent "second pick" style great ODI cricketers.

Mahela Jayawardene

Andrew Symonds (2003 & 2007 ODI WC Champion)

I am picking Symonds purely and purely on the basis of 2003 ODI WC where he was a beast and played a significant role in winning Aus the cup. He can finish the innings while scoring quickly and can also provide helpful part-time overs in both spin as well as medium pace department. He improves the balance of the side a lot in my opinion.

2003 World Cup in South Africa (326 runs from five innings with a batting average of 163)
143* v Pakistan
59 v Namibia
0 v England
33* v Kenya
91* v Sri Lanka (Semi Final)
DNB v India (Final)

	Span	Mat	Inns	NO	Runs	HS	Avg	BF	SR	100s	50s	0s	4s	6s

@Verified Enigma here you go!

I'm at the stage where I may be looking at picking some middle order bats. Jayawardene for me is an odd one, he has some solid numbers on the face of it but was pretty inconsistent but I did like his captaincy and grace. He would have been an option but my 4 and 5 still aren't taken...yet...
