The One Team Draft - Round Seven Starts!

[Aislabie]

We all know how good a bowler Wasim Akram was: comfortably the greatest left-arm bowler in cricket history with an international career that spanned from 1984 to 2003. He was also the best six-hitter in the world for most of his career, something that gets lost in the shadow cast by his bowling. After retiring from international cricket, he found time for one last stint with Hampshire, in which he played five Twenty20 games, taking his wickets at 15 apiece and even finding time to biff the first ever Twenty20 six.

You’re around seven picks too early my friend.

1. Mr IPL, Suresh Raina.

2. Adam Gilchrist, gilly has strike rate of 140 in more than 100 T20 matches, won IPL in 2009 as captain of Deccan Chargers, thus he ticks all three boxes of aggressive opener, captain & keeper.

Gilly will open & will be our skipper, he will be also our WK.

Raina will play in his usual T20 position at 3.

Few players dominated early Twenty20 cricket like Graeme Hick. Graeme Hick scored two centuries, maintaining a career batting average of 36.39 and a strike rate of 156.17. He boshed a six more often than every 15 balls. And he never played a Twenty20 game until after he had turned 38: just imagine if he'd come around 10 years later - he'd've been a very rich man indeed.

He also played for both England and Zimbabwe, which I'm sure will be less than ideal later on.

My bad, was looking at round 3

For someone who has been playing professional cricket since 2009 and has racked up over 120 T20 games... Mitchell Starc has been a pretty loyal figure to all of his teams in their respective competitions as he's not played for more than one team in any tournament. Being the only player to be the leading wicket-taker in two different ODI World Cups showcases his expertise with the white ball and his T20 record is no different with a sub-20 bowling average, one of the few bowlers to have such an impressive record over a hundred T20s. What makes it even better is that he is predominantly trusted to bowl upfront and in the death overs, two of the most difficult phases to bowl in T20s. It is a task he's well equipped to deal with given his arsenal of swing deliveries, yorkers and bouncers all delivered at a frightening pace of over 150 kph. While for some reason his batting hasn't really produced anything noteworthy in T20s he has the talent to swing for the fences should the need arise down the order.

@Disharies is up next.

Since @Disharies has not picked in his twenty-four hour window, @mohsin7827 can now make his pick and progress the draft in the meantime.
