Okay!
@NePtuNe Gaming @Yash. @AsadRM @Till Valhalla @Parth D can you confirm everyone is in the correct order? I'll do analysis and open the new thread tomorrow, so that there's time to check for issues.

While the draft is now done, I had something else on my mind too. With the draft we were looking to create a balanced squad get the right players which I did but I also wanted to do something completely related to the namesake RNG draft.
So what I did was used Google number to generate numbers between 1 to 10 to see what my real RNG team would look like,
The results round wise are
Greame Smith
GR RObertson
H Mcleod
Aftab Ahmed
DG Sewell
Shai Hope
Sikandar Raza
ST Clarke
MF Malone
SC Getkate
S Sriram
The team
Graeme Smith
Shai Hope
Aftab Ahmed
Sikandar Raza 
Sridharan Sriram
Shane Getkate
Gavin Robertson
Hamish Mcleod
Sylvester Clarke
Mick Malone
David Sewell
I don't expect any upsets.

In all honesty, I thought you'd misunderstood the rules and chose to reselect your whole team after the 11th player... oop
Okay, analysis time.
@ddrap14 -> Team Unknown
Morris Ouma
Flavian Aponso
Dilip Vengsarkar
Roshen Mahanama
Mohinder Amarnath
Dan Christian
George Ulyett
Geoff Dymock
Sandeep Lamichhane
Lungi Ngidi
Allan Donald
The bowling unit. Ngidi, Donald, Lamichhane, Dymock, Ulyett, Christian and Amarnath bring not only proper skill but flexibility.
Decision making and experience. A lot of veterans in this team, and I'd also just like to point out that it's a very good thing I didn't pick Verity over Vengsarkar
Batting. It's pretty reliant on Vengsarkar and Mahanama. And I ended up with two associates at opener.
@Ashutosh. -> Ashutosh Warriors
Jos Buttler
Jimmy Burke
JP Duminy
Angelo Mathews
Dave Houghton
Dinesh Karthik
Shivam Dubey
Shardul Thakur
Shannon Gabriel
Usman Qadir
Sydney Barnes
Again, seven bowling options, and while a few are definitely batting all rounders, the four specialists are very good at what they do.
Flexibility in general. This is a team filled with players who are good (or would be good) at all three formats.
The middle order is a bit weak IMHO. Certainly Mathews is a little high at four, and Shivam Dube was a pick of necessity.
@Yash. -> Hungry Hirani Hamsters
Glenn Phillips
Shaiman Anwar
C. B. Fry
Gubby Allen
Shahzaib Hasan
Thilan Samaraweera
BK Kunderan
Sunny Narine
Anil Kumble
Bill Whitty
Neil Foster
You have a batting lineup capable of destruction. A lot of them are known for hitting the ball and hitting it hard, and Sunny Narine even opens in T20s.
Bowling variations. You have an offspinner, a legspinner, and three very different pacers, all of whom are very good.
Some of the batting again. Also, Shaiman Anwar picked up a ban from all cricket activities between the pick and this analysis...
@NePtuNe Gaming -> Neptune's XI
Shai Hope
Martin Love
Wally Hammond
Peter Burge
Nic Maddinson
James Neesham
Naeem Islam
Irfan Pathan
Shane Warne
Terry Alderman
Ishant Sharma
Once again, a glut of bowling options. A nice variety too, like Yash. This is another team that would love LO cricket.
A lot of overall quality in this team too. Wally Hammond and Warne stand out, but really the top and bottom four spots are all very good players
In longer format games, that middle 3 may be rather exposed (don't get me wrong I really rate Neesham, he's a much better LO player though).
@Parth D -> Wales XI
Abid Ali
Eddie Barlow
Babar Azam
Jack Cheetham
Lance Klusener
Ravi Jadeja
Greg Dyer
Elton Chigumbura
Pramodya Wickremasinghe
Kagiso Rabada
Ziaur Rahman
That top 6 will cause some bowlers in this draft nightmares.
Jack Cheetham, even if he isn't a world class bat, is probably the best leader in the entire draft.
While you have a lot of bowling options, you'll be leaning a lot on Klusener, Jadeja and Rabada as none of the others are very good.
@Till Valhalla -> Emraan Hashmi
Graeme Smith
Navjot Singh Sidhu
Michael Clarke
Keith Stackpole
Calum McLeod
Adnan Akmal
S Senanayake
H. V. Hordern
Brett Geeves
Lasith Malinga
Kemar Roach
The top 4 batsmen are top quality players. Will be hard for early breakthroughs for opposing sides.
And this is a team that will get early breakthroughs with the speed of Malinga and Roach combined with the two mystery spinners.
The batting is a bit short. It's a tail that begins at seven.
@Aislabie -> Scuderia Minardi
Aamir Sohail
Virender Sehwag
Kane Williamson
John Wright
Ted Dexter
Vinoo Mankad
Denis Lindsay
George Geary
Hamid Hassan
Ali Khan
Glenn McGrath
Batting is very strong. In fact, the best of the draft dare I say.
This may be the only lineup in the draft where everyone bats where they want to bat. That's a good achievement.
Glenn McGrath is never a negative but he may need to carry a bit of that pace attack given who he's paired off with.
@AsadRM -> Pindi Paindu's
Nazir Mohammad
Norman O'Neill
AB De Villiers
KS Duleepshinji
Mominul Haque
Peter Nevill
Mo Nabi
Ian Botham
Chris Cairns
Paul van Meekeren
Shaheen Shah Afridi
This side bats deep and with quality. Chris Cairns striding out at nine would be demoralising with the scoreboard at 7/450.
There's a lot of mental fortitude and commitment among these players. Even if some (Beefy) weren't the hardest workers off the field, they'd always give 100% on it.
It's a good thing you have pace bowling allrounders because you're carrying the dead weight of Paul van Meekeren.
It's a very even draft this one. Some people got outdone by the luck of the draw (I'm one of them), but I personally think the three best lineups go to @NePtuNe Gaming (3rd), @Aislabie (2nd) and my preferred lineup despite a player as complete dead weight, @AsadRM (1st). This was an enjoyable draft, and thanks to everyone for participating. The next RNG draft will likely open for signups tomorrow, it's a doozy!
