All Time India Test XI Draft (Shravi)

[Cricketman]

Solid pick (literally). Expected as well, knew he wouldn't last long. Probably our most valuable player in terms of winning matches.

Sorry for forgetting to add the player. Will do from now.

It's not like the Kiwis invented drafts :sarcasm.

 

[Dare]

1st one that started was mettalics with his ODI draft, and then came a test draft and some other stuff.
I have been thinking of starting a WI one too.

 

[shravi]

Rohit, you should update the thread title with whose turn it is perhaps. Just an idea.

He is just upset that there have not even been 11 decent Bangladeshi players in history, so he cant make his own draft.

 

[Leggie]

Changed the thread title so that Zorax knows it's his pick. Hope Cricketman doesn't mind.

 

[Brook]

The main fun on this is going to be fast bowlers, you guys should get in there early. Just my point of view of course though.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

My turn?


Either Sunny or Kapil...meh, I'll go with Sunil Gavaskar

Do I really need to explain? One of the greatest opening batsman of all time, the second best batsman ever produced by India, excellent cricketing mind, and while he does have his downsides (A generally defensive approach to the game, didn't like ODIs...), he is still a Legend and will always be one. The original 'Little Master' is the best man to open the batting, and the only option for an All Time India Test XI.

[Cricketman]

Solid pick, our best opening bat, and one of our best batsman. Leggies pick now, ineteresting to see who he'll go with.

 

[shravi]

My personal request: Please can nobody suggest possible choices as Sid did there.

 

[Cricketman]

I've deleted the post, it takes the fun out of the game if people give out ideas to the drafters.

Boo hoo.

:

Like you control Indian team.

 

[Leggie]

It's my turn.

Anil Kumble

Why? Mainly because of his 'Never say die' attitude. Even in conditions which contradicted his bowling, he would toil hard and bowl ridiculously long spells. In his prime, he seemed as if he would take a wicket with each and every delivery. Those skidding lrg breaks were as good as any other balls I've ever see. What a man. Great sportmanship and spirit to the game.
