Yeah it did come rather quickly. I think your list is quite good, two names you could add are, Shahid Afridi and Yousuf Pathan. Tiger Kings is okay, I have no problems with it

You are online! Sangakkara and Kallis are gone. From your list, I picked Umar Gul. If you want to make a change tell me. And we need to think of a team name too.

Mate, your comment about Iman Ali in the Pak/NZ tour thread was not appropiate and I have deleted it. Please keep in mind that we promote a "family forum" on CW and any comments you make should pass that standard. Thanks for your understanding.

Cool.

Dude, just give me a list of players you want in our team.

Nah, you can't choose someone who has already been chosen.

In a nutshell :

1) You can't have more than two players from the same team.
2) You should have either 5 batsmen, 2 all-rounders, 1 wicketkeeper, 3 bowlers OR 4 batsmen, 3 all-rounders, 1 wicket-keeper, 3 bowlers (refer to the link I posted earlier)
3) All our teams will be finalized before the World Cup. This is the point system : https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1h646UYy0k3w6nfAYx2iR-M22wlxm4fjKsU9wuBa6g_w
The team that manages accumulates the most points at the end of the World Cup is the winner.

Anything else ? Feel free to ask :D By the way, it will be our turn to pick in two hours or so. Let me know if you have anyone in mind.

Anyone you want. At the end, we should have

either 5 batsman | 2 all rounders | 1 wicket keeper | 3 bowlers
or 4 batsman | 3 all rounders | 1 wicket keeper | 3 bowlers

here is the list of players : https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ahcci3octUNSdFU2LXhuY1EyOHlEM0kxcUVnb0htX3c&hl=en&authkey=COO6pNwL

Hehe. Thanks

The only difference between the Alphabetical Draft and this is "Performance of the players in the 'World Cup 2011' will decide the winner of this draft game instead of voting."

Yeah, it is similar to the Alphabetical Draft thread. You basically have to make a team of eleven with a maximum of two players from one team.

Done.

Haha thanks, you flatter me. Have you played cricinfo's fantasy cricket ? It is similar to that.

Hey, keen to team up for the draft thread ?

Hey, saw your comments. Didn't respond because that would've hijacked the thread. But yeah, Viv is downgraded and might be down graded further.

I personally feel a little sick about the insecure Tendulkar fans who drag his name in every article written to pay tribute to other great cricketer. They dragged him in Bradman article too, and I felt compelled to write a few comments against them. Hate that I end up arguing against Tendulkar but they ask for it!

Yes, that was me on Cricinfo

Hi smalishah,
I do not have Imran's book in PDF format. Just have a few excerpts, regarding his favorite batsmen and bowler. It is a very positive book. You should get it from a Public library in Pakistan. You will surely find it there. Hope this helps.
