IN PROGRESS Yes, Another Big Bash Themed Draft

let's have another Aussie this time: like Maxwell, :aus: :ar: Brad Hogg is much better known for his role in another team than as a Renegade, but his wily left arm wristspin will add another dimension to an already scary T20 bowling attack: imagine Imran and Narine in the powerplay, Theekshana and Hogg in the middle and Pathirana and Bravo to round off the innings

Making a bit more progress towards my next mission with :wi: :bat: Seymour Nurse. I wouldn't have picked him if not for my mission, but on his day he could attack with the best of them, and was generally adept at adjusting his game according to the situation.

1. :aus: :wkb: Adam Gilchrist
2. :aus: :bat: Don Bradman
3. :ind: :bat: Tilak Varma
4. :wi: :bat: Seymour Nurse

6. :saf: :ar: Mike Procter
7. :pak: :ar: Wasim Akram
8. :aus: :ar: Richie Benaud
9. :aus:/:eng: :bwl: Duncan Spencer
10. :pak: :bwl: Waqar Younis
11. :eng: :bwl: Derek Underwood

Thunder #10: Shoaib Akhtar
Role: Fast bowler
Bowl Avg: 22.22 | Eco: 7.29 | Bowl SR: 18.2

The bowling lineup is missing t20 prototype left arm pacer but I am gonna go with express pace and who better then 'Rawalpindi Express'
hold the record for fastest bowl bowled (161.3 kph)

Thunder #11: Muthiah Muralidaran
Role: Spinner

Bowl Avg: 22.03 | Eco: 6.38 | Bowl SR: 20.6
As I already have a leggie in Afridi and left arm spinner in Sobers will add an off spin to the attack in Murli

01. :aus: :bat: David Warner
02. :jam: :bat: Chris Gayle
03. :aus: :bat: Dean Jones
04. :ind: :bat: Suryakumar Yadav

My last player is not the one I had originally planned. I have decided instead to go with :ind: :bat: Shubham Dubey: an extremely powerful Rajasthan Royals left-hander with a T20 batting average of 38.35, strike rate of 152.69 and who hits a six every 10.6 deliveries. That six-hitting ability is what made my mind up in his favour: that and the fact that he ensures that I have an entire left-hand-right-hand top eight with an entirely varied set of skills amongst them.

1. :aus: :wkb: Adam Gilchrist
2. :aus: :bat: Don Bradman
3. :ind: :bat: Tilak Varma
4. :wi: :bat: Seymour Nurse
5. :ind: :bat: Shubham Dubey
6. :saf: :ar: Mike Procter
7. :pak: :ar: Wasim Akram
8. :aus: :ar: Richie Benaud
9. :aus:/:eng: :bwl: Duncan Spencer
10. :pak: :bwl: Waqar Younis
11. :eng: :bwl: Derek Underwood

finishing off with my second opener, who also completes my second mission, my last pick is the supremely talented :ind: :bat:Yashasvi Jaiswal. He's already shown in the IPL how much power and aggression he can bring to the powerplay, and with Narine he's likely to form a really destructive left-right combo

:ind: :bat: Yashasvi Jaiswal
:tat: :ar: Sunil Narine
:aus: :ar: Glenn Maxwell
:ab: :bat: Viv Richards
:saf: :wkb: AB de Villiers
:saf: :bat: David Miller
:pak: :ar: Imran Khan
:tat: :ar: Dwayne Bravo
:aus: :bwl: Brad Hogg
:sri: :bwl: Maheesh Theekshana
:sri: :bwl: Matheesha Pathirana

mission 1: :tat: :ar: Sunil Narine, :aus: :bwl: Brad Hogg, :sri: :bwl: Maheesh Theekshana

mission 2: :sri: :bwl: Maheesh Theekshana, :sri: :bwl: Matheesha Pathirana, :ind: :bat: Yashasvi Jaiswal

pretty good XI, eh? i think you can pretty easily guess my missions too

@Perfect Square
 
Hardik Pandya is my last pick.

01. :aus: :bat: Matthew Hayden
02. :nzf: :wkb: Brendon McCullum
03. :aus: :bat: Steve Smith
04. :ind: :bat: Suresh Raina
05. :ban: :ar: Shakib Al Hasan
06. :ind: :ar: Hardik Pandya
07. :pak: :ar: Shadab Khan
08. :wi: :ar: Darren Sammy :c:
09. :pak: :bwl: Shaheen Shah Afridi
10. :pak: :bwl: Umar Gul
11. :aus: :bwl: Brett Lee

That completes my draft.

The third umpire would like to overturn this pick based on the replay. /s

Also @Viper. is up with @Aravind. to finish
