Draft: The RNG Draft: The Modern Era!

Parth's Pool
1670062753101.png
With Johan Botha taken, Parth once again had a selection of wicketkeepers and pacers. He picked Trent Boult of those.

Disharies' Pool

Disharies took the obvious Angelo Mathews. Get this pool again at your peril...

Ed Smith's Pool

The ultimate Ed Smith pick was available.

TV selected Shadab Khan to give him a four-spinner attack. Interesting...
 
Awesome, Round 9 is now out! Some people got lucky (in a shock twist, this includes Ed); some people got screwed (including the worst pool of the draft, surprisingly not going to Ed).

Ddrap's Pool

Mine's not much better. It's saved by the last two - I need pace bowling, and both offer it. I'll take Jhye Richardson who's on a nuts wickets/games pace for a guy who's mostly played L/O. FYI, if not for two debutants who joined the overall list between Rounds 8 and 9, I'd have had to take Jonty Rhodes and been in a pinch

All the Pakistan fans are online and submitting their picks right now. I wonder why...

Ahmed's Pool
1670244380085.png
There's five realistic options here, depending on a team's situation - a genuine rarity. But the best of the, and the one Ahmed takes, is Vernon Philander. Perfect pick for a team in the same situation as me.

CerealKiller's Pool
1670244498391.png
Another team needing two of a kind - this time, top order batters - and getting one here. While not as good a player as Mitch, Neil Johnson could hold his own with bat and ball, and is best known for a stellar 1999 World Cup. Stats for this period are a bit low, as he effectively Kolpak'd within a year of the new millenium.

Parth's Pool (I made the PAK joke before he responded):
1670244657076.png
This is not the worst pool, despite what you may think. It's horrific situationally though as, with Parth needing batting or a spinning allrounder, he gets shit BAN quicks. Abul Hasan has a surprisingly good batting record in FC too, which qualifies him as a #7 in this context.

Disharies' Pool
1670284270774.png
Another perfect player for a team' situation, Daniel Vettori comes into Disharies' team.

Mohsin's Pool
1670284442639.png
Mohsin took Faf du Plessis and mentioned he was a rarely used opener. You do know #5 is open right?

1670284510896.png
Somehow, worse pool than Ed's. TV took Ankur Vasishta solely as he can keep.

Ed Smith's Pool
1670284559307.png
This pool's unlike Ed. He considered ten Doeschate just for a moment...

Venugopal Rao ftw.

Isn't he already picked?

I believe Sachin has now gone in three of my four R_G drafts, but not this one.

Younis Khan plugs another hole in another team. Someone (other than Parth) has to get a player who doesn't snap in perfectly next round, I'm sorry to say
1670329688526.png
 
Pool 10 is now out!

Ddrap's Pool:

1670503825338.png

Not brilliant, but one of the positions I need is opener, and there are candidates to fill it - I'm going for a little bit of a homer in Cam Bancroft who can also be an emergency keeper. Now for Glenn McGrath next week.

Parth's Pool
1670504329126.png
After getting five pools worth of pacers, Kane Williamson was a much more familiar sight for Parth then he was for my Kiwi friend when he played England earlier this year.
1670504379697.png

Ahmed's Pool
1670504393719.png
Ahmed surprisingly doesn't take Abdullah Shafique, and instead goes for Yusuf Abdulla. Strategy perhaps to taking the South African James Muirhead?

CK said there wasn't any other option than Junaid Siddique with Khan taken. I think he's probably right.
1670538877298.png

Mohsin's Pool
1670538908086.png
Mohsin's bowling attack is completed by R.P. Singh. The wrong pool next time makes him over Matt Sinclair a poor decision, but it's a necessary risk either way.

Disharies' Pool
1670539001025.png
I think this is the last team without a keeper, until now - Gary Wilson is selected to take the gloves.
1670539110350.png

Ed Smith's Pool
1670539123422.png
I'll answer Ed's question here - yes, Naveen-ul-Haq is available.
