Draft: The RNG Draft: The Modern Era!

[Manish.]

I'll go with Mitchell Johnson. But wait, who are all these Johnsons .

My apologies to everyone, I appear to have forgot to mention the format for the draft is T20. This will now be updated. Round 2 is also coming out imminently

Ddrap's Pool


Shoutout to Captain Scotland, but I'm going with the outstanding allrounder and British Andy Dalton, Paul Collingwood.

Parth's Pool


Parth selected the Afghani spinner Amir Hamza. Not to be confused with the Bangladeshi poet and, uh, murderer...

Mohsin's Pool

Firstly, this isn't actually the worst pool this round...

Secondly, Kiwi spinner Ronnie Hira is the pick. Bit of a surprise

Ahmed's Pool

To quote Ahmed - "Nice and easy Babar Azam"

Good pool this. Even if Babar was unavailable, Leo had a terrific spinner in form of Badree to his disposal.

I'm just going to post all of these in one post, but four people responded while I was offline.

CerealKiller's Pool

Lots of guys I kinda sorta remember here. The pick though was longtime Zimbabwe spinner Graeme Cremer.


Ed Smith's Pool

Nobody else has a right to complain about players anymore! To quote Ed, "I'll go Ishtiaq Ahmad purely because he's got more than 1 wicket in a match once..." (He's a right arm quick)

Till Valhalla's Pool

The other two picks are pace bowlers. While I was impressed by Siraj in the last AUS-IND test series, Shami is the obvious pick here.


Disharies' Pool

A couple nice players here - Clint McKay is known for giving Poms nightmares, and Stuart McGill was a very, very good leggie who got blocked by Warnie - but the pick is really obvious: Glenn McGrath.

 

[Manish.]

I'll go with NT Paramavitana

Oh dear. May His Grace never does this to anyone else ever.

You're not a fan of elite cricketing national teams Bulgaria and the Philippines?

Could argue my 2nd round choices are worse tbh

I was talking about your 2nd round only

 

[ddrap14]

Round 3 is now out. Apologies again to Manish for missing his pick last round.

Ddrap's Pool


I'll take Brendon Taylor to open and keep wicket for me. But I'll keep him well away from the captaincy.

Ed's Pool

This was better than last time out for Ed. He went with Irfan Pathan to add to his team.
