All Time India Test XI Draft (Shravi)

[Brook]

It's all fallen apart

It's all fallen apart

Very funny... :sarcasm

I just want my team to be as strong as possible.

 

[Cricketman]

Shravi, just post your pick...

 

[Brook]

4 *big* tons and 6 fiftys (Most being 70+ scores) in 20 innings at an average of 48 beg to differ .

Who're you talking about here ? :confused:

And shravi it's only a fantasy draft lastish round...

 

[shravi]

Sorry Leggie. It was your first time misreading the order. I was just annoyed with how many times someone's been mixed up with the order. It's almost invariably Cricketman and he made the order... I won't be a total douche... I'll go with another player.

Don't be fooled by his average. I don't think you can judge Srikkanth merely based on his average due to the quite spectacular things he could conjure up when he was in full flow. His batting style is described as "entertaining, innovative and explosive". On his day he could single handedly decimate the best of bowling attacks with relative ease. He was blessed with superb reflexes, and great hand-eye coordination.

Dude, I didn't go for him so that Leggie could get him since he picked him.....

:sarcasm


Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

This thing is a mess.

Cricketman added 14 Minutes and 52 Seconds later...

Bapu Nadkarni

Nadkarni was the games most miserly bowler ever, with an economy rate of just 1.67 runs per over. Who could forget "that" Madras test, where he bowled 32 overs for just 5 runs, including a whopping 21 maidens on the trot? He was a fine wicket taker too, with a test match bowling average of just 29.
Although he was known for his wily, controlled left arm off spin, Bapu was a fine allrounder as well. 7 international 50s and a hundred against a quality English attack prove his worth with the willow, and a FC batting average of over 40 with a highest of 283* against Delhi shows his true potential.

With Nadkarni in my side, I have a bowler to control and frustrate the batsman, forcing them into making needless mistakes; whilst the likes of Nissar, Kapil, and Prasanna are there to take wickets. He also extends my batting all the way to number 9.

[ZoraxDoom]

Extends your batting to number 19? We have 22 man teams now?

 

[Cricketman]

Shut up

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Leggie's really taking his time isn't he?

 

[Leggie]

We're still doing this thing?

Navjot Sidhu

Sidhu's finest moment in Tests was his 201 against West Indies in 1996-97, an act of supreme endurance lasting 11 hours. And his ruthlessness against spinners was legion. He cracked eight sixes in 124 against Sri Lanka - Muralitharan and all - in 1993-94, and hammered four fifties in five innings against the Australians in 1997-98, singling out Shane Warne for a personalised spanking.

Something's wrong...we're all on our final picks but Leggie still has two free spots. And my last pick is supposed to be after Leggie's pick...

 

[Cricketman]

You're supposed to make 2 picks, Sanjay.

 

[Leggie]

I'm throwing in the towel.

My man hits big sixers and he was part of that epic run chase against England.
