Draft: The All-Time One-Day Draft

[Aislabie]

Can feel the exhaustion in this post

Honestly, I'm really looking forward to analysing all of the teams. Idk if I can quite face running a tournament with them though

 

[AsadRM]

David Hussey

Spoiler: Asad's All-time ODI XI:

1. Brendon McCullum
2. Saeed Anwar
3. Steve Smith
4. Inzamam-ul-Haq
5. Ben Stokes
6. David Hussey
7. David Miller

Jonty Rhodes

Since the job of the 12th man would usually be fielding for my team, it makes sense to pick one of the best fielders ever in existence to be that. Jonty was a stone wall at the backward point region, stopping nearly every ball that came his way, also causing some amazing runouts in the process. He was pretty at the number 5 position with the bat, and could come at number 5 for my team, if I change my mind afterwards.

1. Jonny Bairstow
2. Desmond Haynes
3. Faf du Plessis
4. Ross Taylor
5. 
   
6. John Reid
7. Richard Hadlee
8. Daniel Vettori
9. ?
10. Rusty Theron
11. Joel Garner
12. Jonty Rhodes

Next pick coming soon

Harbhajan Singh

Before there was KulCha, before there was Ashwin-Jadeja, there was the Turbanator. The man who could make batsman dance to his tunes, and could take matters into his own hands when it mattered the most. Add to that, he could sometimes, smash even the best of the bowlers out of the park, with his amazing hitting skills.
While he lost his zing in the later parts of his career, he still remained a potent force in the IPL, sending out economical overs in the powerplay, with batters finding him hard to hit.

He was going to be my next pick. You got your timing right. Excellent pick.

Abdul Qadir



1. Shikhar Dhawan
2. Paul Stirling
3. Zaheer Abbas
4. Clive Llyod
5. Keith Miller
6. MS Dhoni
7. Lance Klusener
8. Mohammad Nabi
9. Mitchell Starc
10. Zaheer Khan
11. Abdul Qadir

Happy with the team I end up with. This team has an attacking mindset and big stage performer reputation.
Starting with aggresive duo of Dhawan and Stirling, both on thier day can set stage on fire and capable of forming valuable the parternships.
In Zaheer Abbas and Clive Llyod you have agruably greates middle order batsmen who were playing different ball game in thier era altogether.
The first stylish, elegant batsman and the latter at his best was a flamboyant destroyer of bowling. His heavy bat, powerful shoulders
and full swing of the arms could turn the course of any game.
And what to say about Miller, able to turn a match with an attacking innings or a fiery spell of bowling.
Then there is Two of the best finishers of the game in MSD and Klusener.
for Klusener, a tag that is often unfairly detached from him for the one time he missed among several bull’s-eye hits.
It is not every time they will success in finishing the games, but make no mistake the chances of them failing at it is rare,
and both possess the seconday skill and are par in them too.
In bowling department have two left arm pace bowler can destroyed the oppositions and are master of thier craft evident from
thier world cup performances.
Cricket has Abdul Qadir to thank for keeping wrist-spin alive through the darkest years of the late 1970s and '80s.
Blessed with a fast bowler's temperament and fire, he surrounded his craft with mystique.
Nabi is a traditional offspiner who despite not having many variation is very accurate and relevant to modern game.
Is in the team for his bowling, and No. 8 is seems to be very low for his kind of batsmen but that provide the depth in batting.

The choice for captain was difficult as there is two very capable geniuses and Man-Manager available, I have gone with MS due to my
first choice and team built around him.

How many picks do I have? I know it's one at least.

And I can't believe that nobody has picked Kevin O'Brien yet. I mean...come on! It was either him or someone else, I went with him.

I barely know my team, lemme back up a bit here...

1. Matthew Hayden
2. Anshuman Rath
3. Kumar Sangakkara
4. Everton Weekes
5. Viv Richards
6. Kevin O'Brien
7. Shahid Afridi
8.
9. Andy Roberts
10. Ali Khan
11. Colin Croft

I don't think it's my Round Eleven pick yet...

Still...maybe @AsadRM ?

(EDIT: I honestly have no clue who's next.)

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

FML. Both of my targets are snapped away...

Bad luck. No issues. Time to rediscover.

 

[AsadRM]

@ddrap14 should be next

 

[ddrap14]

I kinda want a batsman who can bowl to finish off my team. And with my pace heavy team, having a second spinner may be handy. So I considered Paul Collingwood, but eventually settled on Carl Hooper
1. Gordon Greenidge
2. Shai Hope
3. Ian Bell
4. Javed Miandad
5. Carl Hooper
6. Ryan ten Doeschate
7. Gilbert Jessop
8. Shaun Pollock
9. Brett Lee
10. Ryan Harris
11. Derek Underwood

[Mittal2002]

So my second missed pick is Mark Chapman.
He should be counted as an associated pick for his time with Hong Kong. He is one hell of a fielder and he is also a good batting choice at no.5 (he got 50+ average in list A cricket). Currently I am picking him as 12th man but I can play him at 5th position anytime which gives the team much flexibility.

Lineup so far
1) David Warner
2) Tillakaratne Dilshan
3) Gregg Chappell
4) Andy Flower
5)
6) Michael Bevan
7) Kapil Dev
8) Ajit Agarkar
9) Hedley Verity
10) Tony Gray
11) Allan Donald
12) Mark Chapman

Fun Fact: I got atleast one name from all OG 8 test nations in my XI

Line up so far:
Chris Gayle
Kyle Coetzer
Michael Clarke
Aubrey Faulkner
Yuvraj Singh
Paul Collingwood
Imran Khan
Mark Boucher
Curtly Ambrose

Class pick. Would likely have had him as 12th man if I didn't need a second Associate.
