Rizwan's already gone. To myself. Shit. Anyway, I'll be taking Mohammad Nawaz instead - I'm more than comfortable bumping Russel Arnold up to six if I get a bowler next round anyway.

Well, the best option here is Aiden Markram, so Ahmed's gonna have to hope he turns his T20 form into ODIs.

CK picked a bowler last round, and immediately got Lasith Malinga. Methinks this side won't bat deep

Ed Smith's Pool

On the other hand, Ed needed a batsman and got him. Asanka Gurusinha isn't a world beater, but he can do a job and he's handy with the ball too.

A big win for LIAS, who gets Alex Carey and thusly is not auto'd a wicketkeeper in Round 11.

Speaking of bad batting lineups, here's Basil Hameed!

An obvious pick here - 1983 World Cup hero Mohinder Amaranth.

Parth D's Pool
1676758812804.png
Despite nobody having ever heard of Peter Parfitt, he averages 40 at international level, which will do nicely.

TV elected to sort his keeping position too, picking Hemant Kanitkar - but over Kapil Dev, I might have been tempted to take an auto

Understandably, Moin wasn't the pick - instead, Neo went with Debasis Mohanty

Just look at his domestic stats. Guy has also won Wisden 's Cricketer of the Year.

Alex Carey is already in my team.
 
Ah, shit.

@liveinasociety given the Carey slot has to be your wicketkeeper, my first thought is to roll until I find a pool with a keeper in it, and give you him. Is that good with you?
 
First off: Y'all Carey haters must have only watched the India games. Nobody on our team can play spin, so don't knock him for it.

Nopes we are just angry and laughing both for his brainless batting . Sweep is OK for me . But Reverse Sweep by him that too all the times ?? :laughter::laughter::laughter:

IMPORTANT STUFF AT BOTTOM, PLEASE READ IT

I'm not dumb enough to take Balwindersingh Sandhu, so Mitch Santner it is. Not ideal, but let's hope we're playing in Delhi

Second leggie of the round - Amit Mishra. Everyone from here is hoping for a batsman, btw

Alviro Petersen is a player I do remember opening in 2011 with Graeme Smith, but not one of South Africa's big names. He goes into TV's team here bc the next best option is NO Perry...

@CerealKiller your selection has already been taken, please redo

As much as Shakib is a controversial character, he's also by far the best option here.

The Reverend David Sheppard will hopefully bless Aislabie's batting lineup, because he needs it.
P.s. - Aislabie also kindly made a What If team for me that I'll share as part of my draft wrap.

Ed Smith's Pool
1676967184982.png
I must say I'm surprised that Ed picked Ross Adair - not over his brother and Andre Adams, as batting was a clear need, but over Colin Ackermann, who has a better average and is also a gun fielder.

Aravind's Pool
1676967314689.png
A solid all-rounder in the short forms, Moeen Ali will open for Aravind.

No doubt Maheesh Theekshana is a good bowler, but is that what was needed?
1676967414580.png

Parth/Enigma's Pool
1676967433163.png
Parth was the one guy who didn't get a viable batsman. He went with Dilhara Fernando and a long tail instead.

Alright, so where does this leave us?
We're 109/110 through this draft - CK's invalid pick needs to be corrected and then we're done. That said, a lot of stuff still is going to happen from me:
* TONIGHT, I'm going to post the review for the Bazball Draft, which I have become aware I forgot to do at its conclusion.
* TONIGHT OR TOMORROW, depending on time, a new draft will be begun. I have an idea for a non-RNG draft, but I'd need more time than I have to run it - expect it in June when I'm off term.
* THURSDAY OR WHEN CK FIXES HIS PICK, whichever comes later, I'll post a review of this draft.
