ODI World Cup draft II | 20 teams, 48 matches, 240 WC greats, and the winner is...

:can::ar:John Davison would have been a ‘Baggy Green‘ in an alternate universe where Warne didn’t exist most likely. Thankfully that universe isn’t ours and instead he gives me a really strong associate pick in both departments. While his bowling stats are slightly boosted by half of his ten wicket tally coming against the recent test nation Bangladesh and Kenya (who still had a strong tournament), his performances at the top are what make him a top tier pick with a century against West Indies and a fifty against New Zealand, both of which were very reminiscent of T20 era knocks.

Nooooooo.... Arghhhh

Maurice Odumbe

I’m amazed that he was on the radar for so many people, the last time I picked him in an ODI themed draft I don’t think he was anywhere near this popular. Shows how competitive drafting has gotten.
 
All the more reason for me to not put him there then. His average of 21.33 and strike rate of 58.35 during '92 don't make a case for him opening either.
Personally think that's not a great move coz with that SR he cannot be accommodated to hit quick runs in the death overs plus if I know @VC the slogger 's rating technique, he will be rated lower if batting out of place.
