ODI All Time ODI cricket draft

[eth-dog]

We've done a few test cricket drafts over the years but I can't remember the last time we did an ODI draft, or if we've ever done one. Of course the eras have changed quite a bit over the years but I'd be curious to see what people come up with. Hoping for 10-15 teams to come and sign up.

Rules:

1. Must have a player from each decade of ODI cricket (70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, 20's). For multi decade players, nominate which decade you're picking for.
2. Cannot pick more than 2 players from each country. For those that played at multiple countries in ODI's (eg Wessels) you must nominate which country you're picking him for at the time of drafting.
3. 8 hour time limit between 8 am and 10 pm (so if player x picks at 8:30 pm, you have until 2:30 the next day to pick).
4. Must have played a minimum of 20 ODI's.

Happy to add any other rules that people can think of but those are the basics for now.

Draft order:

 

[JHF1870]

The guy you're picking there

I mean. He's opened once in his ODI career. 6 years ago.

Opener is there for stability for first 15 overs at 5+rr. Any more is a bonus. Irrespective of his history he can slot in nicely

Root is an obvious choice

We shall see

You’re all playing for crumbs anyway. Once Universe Boss crushes 350* with a 120* cameo from QDK and then takes all 10 wickets unassisted it’s fairly academic from there on who wins every game

big_e I will be working when the time limit is up so you can pick at 8:26

 

[big_e]

Growing up watching cricket at the WACA, I'm a sucker for express pace. And if they took 380 wickets at 23, they're in my side.

Come on down, Brett Lee.


1. Rohit Sharma, 20s, India
2. Gordon Greenidge, 70s, West Indies
3. Steve Smith, 20s, Australia
4. Jos Buttler, 10s, England (wk)
5.
6. Shahid Afridi, 90s, Pakistan
7.
8. Wasim Akram, 80s, Pakistan
9. Brett Lee, 00s, Australia
10. Chaminda Vaas, 00s, Sri Lanka
11. Malcolm Marshall, 80s, West Indies

I think it's boncer34 now.

Bloke who averages 50 at #4 going this late is criminal.

I was worried you were gonna use your second West Indian on someone I had my eye on. Pretty relieved now.

Interesting that there are a few Aussies left on the table, one of whom I can only really see fitting in one side now and was for me, our best ever middle order ODI bat. I'm really regretting wasting a pick on Chappell now.

Tillekeratne Dilshan - SL - batting average 39, strike rate 87, 106 wickets, 4.88 economy rate, could pinch hit as a keeper, batted extensively at opener or 6. Most importantly he could play the scoop, obviously.

Jacob Oram - NZ - batting average 24, strike rate 87, 173 wickets at 29.

Looking at keepers by dismissals per innings Gillchrist, AB and QDK in front with 1.5 to 1.6

Then a large group aroundv1.3 to 1.4.

If I didn't take Kallis for all rounder Gilly was my second choice.

Second-highest average batting at number 5 in ODI history, going at 56.5, with a strike rate of 96.3.
