A T20 draft...cricket_icon & swacker's picks

[Fenil]

^Fair enough - although who says you have to know anything? I don't think I've watched a whole IPL match since 2009

Same here. I'll give this a shot only on the basis of what I've watched in international arena and some stats.

 

[Aislabie]

Oh and if anyone wants to be first (or last) picker in a particular round, speak up - and it will be so! The draft order works itself out to be fair anyway so there is no inherent advantage gained. In the mean time, post your all-time T20 XI in the other thread we've got going http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/cricket-discussion/all-time-t20-xi-81096.html - or fling some mud at someone elses

Can I dibs first pick in the England round, please?

Same here. I'll give this a shot only on the basis of what I've watched in international arena and some stats.

I've seen plenty of highlights, it's just if I sat down and watched 2 x 3.5 hr IPL matches every day for 2 months...lets just say it's a dangerous habit And I kinda don't want to support that kind of cricket overkill either, so there's a little protest vote happening as well.

Can I dibs first pick in the England round, please?

For sure, you're locked in at top of round 4! We'll see who drops through the cracks - could be a good move


So we've got 9 players now, I'll give it a little longer, see if anyone else comes out of the woodwork wanting to play. I plan to start in a day or 2 - so keep checking the thread!

 

[Sedition]

I might aswell take a stab thanks Sifter At least I'll know all the players for this one, despite not being a big T20 fan

 

[sifter132]

OK so that makes 10 players - good stuff. I'll give the rest of the day for anyone else to join - only 1 or 2 spots left though.

I'll finalise the draft order tonight and we can begin straight after that!

Hope you're all researching feverishly

Anyone want the first overall pick?? Which means you won't get to pick until last choice in the 2nd round BTW...

 

[Fenil]

I don't want the first overall pick.

 

[sifter132]

^You are pick #6 Fenil. The full draft order is in the first post, so you can really do some long term planning for all 12 rounds if that takes your fancy.

The proud owner of the #1 choice is Farhun!! So make your selection when you are ready buddy...and make it count because there is a fair gap between your picks If you don't want to be #1 farhun I'll swap with you if you like - don't let it be said that I don't run a fair draft

So lets begin!

 

[Gaurav_7]

Farhan

 

[sifter132]

Haha, have i spelled his name wrong already? Sorry Farhan

 

[farhan ahmed]

[Aislabie]

[Sedition]

I should've taken last pick for Australia, would still be guaranteed a world class player

 

[Andrin Issac]

My first pick is kohli
