Parth's Pool
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.
Till Valhalla's Pool
TV selected Shadab Khan to give him a four-spinner attack. Interesting...

Mohsin's Pool
Probably the worst pool of the round. Mohsin took Jehan Mubarak from it.
@ahmedleo414 @CerealKiller @Parth D @Disharies @mohsin7827 @Ed Smith @Till Valhalla @Manish.
I'll get Round 9 out either later today or tomorrow. In the meantime - if I've got your batting order wrong on the main post, please DM me with the correction.

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
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
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):
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
Another perfect player for a team' situation, Daniel Vettori comes into Disharies' team.
Mohsin's Pool
Mohsin took Faf du Plessis and mentioned he was a rarely used opener. You do know #5 is open right?
Till Valhalla's Pool
Somehow, worse pool than Ed's. TV took Ankur Vasishta solely as he can keep.
Ed Smith's Pool
This pool's unlike Ed. He considered ten Doeschate just for a moment...

Isn't he already picked?Ed Smith's Pool

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

Manish's Pool
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

Alternately, my one braincell has decided to take a vacation. It's 11pm. I should just go to bed...
@Ed Smith you fine with Doeschate?
Ed Smith
Gaffer
Aye, why not. Not like it could get any worse
Pool 10 is now out!
Ddrap's Pool:
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
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.
Ahmed's Pool
Ahmed surprisingly doesn't take Abdullah Shafique, and instead goes for Yusuf Abdulla. Strategy perhaps to taking the South African James Muirhead?

CerealKiller's Pool
CK said there wasn't any other option than Junaid Siddique with Khan taken. I think he's probably right.
Mohsin's Pool
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
I think this is the last team without a keeper, until now - Gary Wilson is selected to take the gloves.
Ed Smith's Pool
I'll answer Ed's question here - yes, Naveen-ul-Haq is available.
