Draft: The RNG Draft: Brought to you by Bostik

[Paranoid Kendroid]

Sorry but it's a hard pass @ddrap14 . Good luck to those participating.

 

[Fenil]

I'm in.

 

[ddrap14]

Just because my current grid is full doesn't mean signups are closed. That said, given signups have came so quickly, I'll give 24 hours for anyone who hasn't woken up yet, and then send out R1

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

I'd love to take part, but if it gets too crowded I wouldn't mind sitting out.

 

[qpeedore]

I'll observe and comment.

Adding you shouldn't be an issue

Round 1 (1/2)

Ddrap's Pool

Simple; George Lohmann, one of cricket's greats, at 10.


NMA's Pool

Trevor Goddard brings his all-round skills to NMA's team as an opener.


Aislabie's Pool

Rangana Herath is another simple pick, and he'll bat at 10.


Aravind's Pool

Four great gets in a row to start this draft - Malcolm Marshall will bat 8 for Aravind.


Parth's Pool

Graeme Pollock could have been the best since Bradman if it wasn't for Apartheid. He'll bat 4 for Parth, obviously.


Pillow Procter's Pool

PPP - not the Beach House song, but the pool that lands Irishman Ed Joyce at 3 to Pillowprocter's team.


Ed's Pool

RP Singh to kick off Ed's team at 11. Probably the worst pick so far, luckily (for everyone done so far) part 2 of this post contains some shitters!

Part 2/2
Disharies' Pool

A number of options here; Ramnaresh Sarwan was the one chosen, and he'll bat at 5, which surprised me but is probably right (I remember Sarwan at #3)


Till Valhalla's Pool

Faced with a decision between two Gunns, TV elected to discharge JR and pick George Gunn at 3.


CerealKiller's Pool

Tom Graveney feels like the equivalent of Peter Parfitt for this draft - a 60s English batsman who we don't really remember anymore but averaged in the mid-40s in internationals. He bats 3 for CK.


Ahmed's Pool

Dave Houghton was Zimbabwe's first great player who was part of teams that beat Australia and England in ODI World Cups, then he went on to coach both. He's carded at 3.


Neo 7's Pool

He's been selected for the third straight draft; the only shock here is that Lasith Malinga will bat 10 rather than 11.


Fenil's Pool

A rough intro for Fenil who gets probably the weakest pool. Not that Shardul Thakur at 8 is a bad start at all, but he isn't Maco.


New round tomorrow

 

[Till Valhalla]

Probably the worst pick so far,

Probably the best pick. Who else other than him have won purple cap in the first 3 seasons of IPL.

It's a Test draft, Sire.

 

[CerealKiller]

Probably the best pick. Who else other than him have won purple cap in the first 3 seasons of IPL.

Sohail Tanvir got it in 2008 though.

 

[Till Valhalla]

It's a Test draft, Sire.

If he can win it in IPL he can do it in Test too .

Sohail Tanvir got it in 2008 though.

Was he selected in these round I don't see.

 

[pillowprocter]

I have to disagree with your opinion. This is because of the lack of a purple cap to be awarded in Test cricket.
