Draft: Player Swap Draft

[Sherlock Holmes]

Are swaps executed according to who sent it earlier, or are they random?

Best question ever. I lost the chance to get bevan because of this.

That's why you ask them beforehand.

He answered it beforehand, we didn’t read

The order of swaps within a round will also be randomised.

Yeah this is right

Also a few different people have asked me privately, so want to clear up that you can only protect 1 player in the whole draft. Did not realise it was unclear, my bad

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Huh, I already knew. I was just testing y'all.

 

[mohsin7827]

What a steal. Sorry @mohsin7827

I mean he was kinda doomed anyway since he was going to swap with RUDI. You basically just affected RUDI

This is getting interesting

Round 3 : Bowlers

Initial Draw

@Disharies : Muttiah Muralitharan (Good)
The player with the most ODI wickets of all time, he's as good of a pull as you could hope for. Unfortunately Disharies has already used up his protect, so he can just hope that no one swaps with him

@mohsin7827 : Waqar Younis (Good)
Waqar took 416 wickets in ODIs and took one every 30 balls which are numbers not replicated by anyone else. A third straight good player for Mohsin, and arguably the best one of them all

@Till Valhalla : Dawlat Zadran (Medium)
Zadran was a much better cricketer than most people give him credit for, he was the quickest and one of the most important pacers for Afghanistan all throughout the 2010s

@pillowprocter : Janeiro Tucker (Bad)
Tucker could bat and bowl but was far from international standard in both, resulting in an unflattering overall record. Has to be amongst the worst players in recent times to get the captaincy

@ddrap14 : James Tredwell (Medium)
A pretty serviceable offie, Tredwell did not win many games by himself for England but had a decent career especially in ODIs where his numbers are much better than most people might expect

@Neo 7 : Andy Caddick (Medium)
Caddick's international career was unfortunately cut short due to injuries, but before that he was a important part of the English pace attack. Although more known for his performances in test cricket, he had a good run in ODIs too

@ahmedleo414 : Brett Lee (Good) [Protected ]
380 wickets in 220 games are unrivalled numbers, and its not surprising to see him protected. Would be a genuine contender in the GOAT ODI bowlers discussion if he had played for a few years more

@CerealKiller : Ray Price (Medium)
Arguably the best ODI spinner of all time for Zimbabwe, Price was an economical spinner who was not the most consistent but had a few excellent years in which he contributed to some famous wins

@RUDI : Qadeer Ahmed (Bad)
Its not ideal when a cricketer does not have an ESPN bio, but to be fair Qadeer does have a few articles written about him. Unfortunately they have to do with his 5 year ban for match fixing.

@Verified Enigma : Chris Drum (Bad)
Another bomb of a pull, Drum had a respectable domestic career but could never make the jump to international cricket. Arguably should have played more test cricket, can't say the same for ODIs

Swaps

@Till Valhalla : -

@ahmedleo414 : -

@ddrap14 : @ahmedleo414 [Protected ]
Brett Lee , James Tredwell
Protecting Lee pays off for @ahmedleo414, unfortunately for ddrap he is denied by a protected player for the second time in a row.

@Verified Enigma : @RUDI
Qadeer Ahmed , Chris Drum
Dont know if either parties can really celebrate here

@pillowprocter : @mohsin7827
Waqar Younis , Janeiro Tucker
Another swap nailed by @pillowprocter, he's on a bit of a roll here

@RUDI : @pillowprocter
Waqar Younis , Chris Drum
The plan works for @RUDI this time, with a different order we could have seen a completely different outcome

@mohsin7827 : -

@CerealKiller : -

@Disharies : -

@Neo 7 : @Till Valhalla
Dawlat Zadran , Andy Caddick
A pretty even deal for the last swap of the round

Final Allotment
@Disharies : Muttiah Muralitharan
@mohsin7827 : Janeiro Tucker
@Till Valhalla : Andy Caddick
@pillowprocter : Chris Drum
@ddrap14 : James Tredwell
@Neo 7 : Dawlat Zadran
@ahmedleo414 : Brett Lee
@CerealKiller : Ray Price
@RUDI : Waqar Younis
@Verified Enigma : Qadeer Ahmed

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

This draft has trolled me for the second time consecutively

 

[pillowprocter]

Bruh

 

[RUDI]

Ah, finally one going my way

 

[CerealKiller]

Should have swapped with Disharies

 

[RUDI]

You also have one chance to "protect" your player in a round.

Why do I only see this now
