Test Cricket is Best Cricket
Some of you may remember my Test Cricket Scrubs XI draft, where we tried to pick the best possible teams out of players who'd never actually done anything good. Well, the same concept is back for the white-ball game. This is one where Arun Lal was too successful to qualify, and despite that we are going to build proper teams. That's the name of the game.
How are we defining the "scrubs"?
Batting: Any player who scored an ODI fifty disqualified themselves from being a "scrub".
Bowling: Any player who took four wickets in an innings disqualified themselves from being a "scrub".
Keeping and fielding: Any keeper who recorded more than 1.238 dismissals per innings (Kamran Akmal's number as a wicket-keeper) disqualified themselves from being a "scrub".
The Rules
Players whose ODI careers are ongoing can be picked in this draft.
Your eleven must have at least 100 ODI caps between them.
Standard draft rules apply.
