Draft: The Baz-Ball Draft

[Paranoid Kendroid]

01. Graeme Smith
02. David Warner
03. Brian Lara
04. Sachin Tendulkar
06. Adam Gilchrist
07. Colin de Grandhomme

Great opener + great captain. Graeme Smith will be my sixth pick.

My sixth pick is going to be a player who has the fifth best career strike rate of all time. While Bazball's generally thought to mean aggressive batting, this guy gives me aggressive bowling, and even when he's not on song (as he definitely hasn't been in his current series) he takes wickets (10 in two games). I'm taking Kagiso Rabada.

@Parth D @Disharies if you're here you have many outstanding picks
@Aravind. is up

 

[Aravind.]

Quinton de Kock will bat at 2 for us.

He is underated with test match strike rate of 70 in 55 test matches. Plus wicket keeper slot is done.

4. Kevin Pietersen

6. Lord Ian Botham
7. Jonny Bairstow
8. Shane Warne

You were tagged to make a pick way before the deadline.

I'm going to go with a guy who was never given a particularly long run in the Test team, but whose explosive batting and solid spin bowling would have got him a much longer run instead of the likes of Mitch Marsh in the Aussie team. Glenn Maxwell will bat six for me.


@Parth D @Disharies are you alive?
@Aravind. is up.

 

[Aravind.]

Kapil Dev will bat at 7 for us, all time legend who has a odi strike rate of nearly 100 and 5000 test runs. Aggressive batsman, spearhead bowler with 430 test wickets.

@Supreme General

 

[Till Valhalla]

odi

Yeah

 

[Aravind.]

Yeah

Yeah his test match strike rate was not found, thus posted the odi one which is greater than many modern greats.

Feeling sad to miss this
