Draft: The Alphabet Draft 3 - Revenge of the Consonants

[ahmedleo414]

@qpeedore missed his time @ddrap14 you're next

 

[ddrap14]

Les Ames at seven and with the gloves. He's becoming quite the popular pick in these drafts.

@qpeedore again

 

[ahmedleo414]

Let's skip @qpeedore for this go around since he's already missed a bunch of picks, plus this is his final pick, he can pick everyone all at once whenever he's free.

@mohsin7827 you can go ahead

 

[qpeedore]

Yeah, sorry about that. Will finish off my team probably tomorrow.

I have my final pick next

Trent Boult

Stats	Matches	Wickets	BBI	BBM	Bowling Ave	5w/10w
First Class	108	408	6/30	10/80	26.95	19/16
Test	73	292	6/30	10/80	27.67	8/1

Eligibility: Played 73 innings out of 86 at position 11 = 84.88%

Bio from cricinfo:

Boult's strength, according to Northern Districts coach John Pamment, is that, "he's got a lovely wrist position and the fact that the wrist goes right behind the ball gives him that control." Another asset for Boult is friend and sounding board Tim Southee. When on song, their partnership makes for compelling viewing, not to mention telling numbers. In 2014, the pair picked up nearly half the wickets New Zealand took - 67 of 143 - en route to the side's most successful Test year, with five wins in nine matches.

The pair have both raced past 200 Test wickets and by 2019 occupy third and fourth on New Zealand's all-time Test wicket-taking list behind Hadlee and Daniel Vettori. Boult was again magnificent in the 2019 World Cup helping lead New Zealand's attack taking 17 wickets. He took a hat-trick against Australia, and the key wicket of Virat Kohli in the semi-final win over India. He bowled the last over and the Super Over in the tied final against England and without some misfortune he may have won the World Cup for his nation.




Considering the limitations I had, I feel like I have a decent team assembled. I will try to simulate a tournament when all the teams are completed.

My team so far:

1. Prithvi Shaw
2. David "Andrew" Warner
3. Cheteshwar Pujara
4. Niall O'Brien
5. Kevin O'Brien
6. Yuvraj Singh
7. "Edward" Ted a'Beckett
8. "Ranganath" Vinay Kumar
9. Craig Overton
10. David O'Sullivan
11. Trent Boult

@qpeedore again

I guess there is some confusion here, if I am right I already picked Les Ames.

Sorry, I missed that- something about remembering from Draft 1 that Ames was the only valid L wicketkeeper. But this time I only need 30% so I can pick Rashid Latif!
