ODI Draft - Ascending Batting Average

[honestbharani]

Sachin is a handy ODI bowler. But you are kidding if you think he can do a 5th bowlers' job.

 

[mr_mister]

as PEWS has argued for me there are still options available for part time bowlers to pair with Sachin to make up the 10

 

[mr_mister]

also, he'l be bowling during the accumulation stage from overs 20-40

won't be wasting the new ball or be spanked around at the death

batsman will be nudging him for singles

Ya I'll promote Oram in the batting order with a free license when Sachin comes to bowl in the middle-overs.

 

[Teuton]

Andy Flower

Abdul Razzaq (29.70)

​Shane Watson

 

[ankitj]

Joining others on the path to destruction..


Jos Buttler (40.88)
Lance Klusener (41.10)

Jos Butler (40.88)
Lance Klusener (41.10)

Without Klusener at 7 my team is essentially toast now

 

[anil1405]

hb > stephen > fuller > teuton

 

[weldone]

Yes, like Rubel Hossain as middle-order batsman and Lakshmipathy Balaji as opener.

We'd need more than two by the looks of it. Here are some more suggestions from me:

GF Labrooy
JK Kamande
KM Dabengwa
PJ Ongondo
Mohammad Naveed
MA Ouma
Dawlat Zadran
TL Chatara
MA Suji
ML Nkala
NN Odhiambo
CB Mpofu
HA Varaiya
Shafiul Islam
B Zuiderent
Mirwais Ashraf

 

[mr_mister]

Should have played Chris Harris there

Without Klusener at 7 my team is essentially toast now

Great, one team out of competition

@Anil – would it be too much to ask to post sums of averages for each drafter as of end of round 5?

[Fuller Pilch]

I've woken up in the night and checked the score in the test. Go Windies!

Anyway my 6th round pick has a lower average than both HB and Stephen ZA picked in round 5 so I might as well pick now before going back to sleep. Hopefully I will wake up to a Caribbean victory.

Anyway round 6 is Alex Carey (34.00)

 

[ankitj]

In a way I am quite happy with what I have done so far in the draft. Got some of the best players to cover what are usually the hardest spots to fill in an ODI draft - spinner, keeper-batsman, all rounder (Warne, Buttler, Klusener). But hands are going to be tied for rest of the draft.
