Draft: The Exclusive Club Draft

[CerealKiller]

May I ask for extra time please. My granny has expired today. Need some time to recollect.

I will try to pick a player tomorrow.

Just saw this, i'm sorry for your loss

 

[Viper.]

01. Rohit Sharma
02. Chris Gayle
03. Kumar Sangakkara
04. Dean Jones
05. Clive Lloyd
06. Michael Hussey
07. Lance Klusener
08. James Faulkner
09. Zaheer Khan
10. Shane Warne
11. Brett Lee

Michael Hussey for me was perfect option to complete the team. That means six bowler will be Gayle not a bad option to have and five aussie which I wanted to avoid but couldn't.

@Aravind. to finish I guess

I realized Hussey wasn't picked when I was searching for a 10th pick but sadly couldn't pick him as I needed a proper 6th bowler, and also a WK , so I couldn't afford a pure bat. An absolute steal this late in the draft imo

 

[Aravind.]

Craig McDermott, the leading wicket taker in 1987 world cup with 18 wickets in 8 matches.

Hayden
Gambhir
Rahul Dravid
Jayawardene
Pietersen
Stokes
Sunil Narine
Andy Bichel
Andy Roberts
Michael Holding
Craig McDermott

Happy with the way draft went for us, 6 quality bowlers, with 6 six great batsman and Narine to smack at 7 and upto 10 we can bat well and contribute for the team.

Brilliant work mate! Thanks for covering for me! Quality fast bowlers for sure. Liked the addition of Narine( hadn't thought of him tbh). I might have made a few changes on 3 positions( can reveal once everyone's is done),but am quite happy with this.

I like this side but kinda think there is one too many specialist fast bowlers. Maybe an extra batsman who could bowl a bit could be the missing piece? McDermott is a fantastic pick at this stage.

I hope the best WC bowler in recent times doesn't miss out in the draft.

Yeah, but I feel good bowlers wins you games and with that top 6 and Narine at 7, I feel we're good to go.

Agree that the faster ones are specialists, but we also have stoic batsmen who can change gears when required.

@icyman

Have to say @Aravind. has created a good team here. I'd have gone with a few other choices and my team would have looked like this:

Hayden
McCullum (proxy pick)
Gambhir
Jayawardene
Pietersen
Stokes
Shastri
Rashid
Roberts
Holding
McDermott

I also had thought over having Moin/Kirmani instead of Rashid and adding Zampa for McDermott. In that case, my 2nd opener would have been Mark Taylor, who'd have captained the side.
