Test Cricket Draft Game...*Banter Thread...

[Sabre]

Yeah seeing as he has Al Hassan there already I assume he will use him as AR and Stokes as a bowler only.

 

[swag_tiger]

he is a bowler who can bat higher if needed

Do you understand how this game works?

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I would have considered Stokes to be a batsman who can bowl but anyway…

yes i do understand how it works but most of the players ahead of him have a better batting and bowling average

same same but different

Not really the same no…but anyway good luck with him.

I have decided on the voting process:

1st vote will be for the opening batsmen
2nd vote will be for batsmen 3-5
**Note** these 2 votes will EXCLUDE All rounders and wicket keepers chosen there.
For example in CB's case, Kallis will be his all-rounder and his number 6 will fill the gap for the 3-5s

1\. Saeed Anwar
2\. Simon Katich
3\. Jacques Kallis (A/R)
4\. Martin Crowe
5\. Allan Border *
6.
7\. Sarfraz Ahmed (W/K)
8\. Stuart MacGill
9.
10\. Ryan Harris
11\. Wasim Akram

3rd vote will be All-rounders
4th vote will be wicket keepers
5th vote will be pace bowlers
6th vote will be spinners

I decided to split the batsmen to make voting a bit easier. 50 players would be a huge task.

Cultured Bogan said he was a batman who can bowl and i said he was a bowler who can bat so you know what i mean.

And I agree with CB, and I'm sure most will. And he is going to be voted on purely on his bowling, unless you are choosing him as your All Rounder.

Ben Stokes has 40 test wickets at an average of 40.

It doesn't make any difference. They will both only be judged as bowlers.

I still think it would be good for people to add a comment. Nothing major, just one or two sentences. Just so people can get a gauge on why their team is being judged the way it will be.

Will we be given the chance to put our players stats up before each vote

Maybe total tests ,runs/ wickets taken ,centuries scored , 5 fas batting/ bowling average ??

sounds good but could be tough for players who started before the 90's to get the stats without doing a bit of research
