I know the draft isn't over yet, so don't start naming names, but who are the best players available that haven't made a team. There's certainly a number I can think of who would be an improvement over some of the players who have been drafted, so get those thinking caps on.
So, who are the best players who were missed? Cheats Sreesanth Danish Kaneria Mohammad Asif Salman Butt Yes, they're banned, but a couple relatively recently and still likely to be at least mediocre quality. Others Mohammad Nabi Mark Ramprakash
Would love to know the craic on Alistair Gray. Averaged 50 in the Sunfoil last year, only 3-dayers this year. Odd. Was Abdur Razzak taken?
Yeah, Cribb kept on at me for not picking Ramps aha. Tymal Mills just took some A team poles and seems like he could well be on path for a rapid acceleration to in/around the Test side should he actually take some FC wickets at a decent rate.
Might be a year early for Tymal. I definitely thought of him, but as soon as retentions became a lower value consideration, he dropped off my radar.
A couple of Lankan spinners have pretty ridiculous FC stats who were missed. Surprised no-one took Travis Head, though maybe it was a year early.
Sohan Boralessa. Sajeewa Weerakoon would have gone alright too but I don't rate him as highly as Boralessa. Roshan Jayatissa would have gone alright too.
Code: Willey - 994 @ 32.06, 107 @ 27.86 Linley - 148 @ 24.73 Lewis - 1304 @ 20.37, 154 @ 25.51 Ethy Mbhalati - 78 @ 22.83 (Sunfoil Series) Dinda - 140 @ 27.67 Anureet Singh - 95 @ 25.63 Mohammad Talha - 152 @ 26.29 Lyth - 3861 @ 39.80 Tiwary - 1867 @ 45.53 Mishra - 1802 @ 48.70 Sangram Atitkar - 2016 @ 49.17 Mandeep Singh - 2614 @ 48.40 My left over list, Lyth and Mandeep were probably the biggest, maybe Talha
Surprised Lyth didn't go, was thinking of him but a depth bowler was probably best for us at the end.
Nah he'd be a bad pick. he had one insane season and has since fallen off. Just thought someone would see his sunfoil series past exploits and have a punt.
From Gazza's list I'm surprised no-one went for Talha, Tiwary or Lyth. Though I don't remember how well Lyth's gone recently.
all rounders: Abdul Razzaq Yusuf Pathan Dwayne Smith Ryan Hinds Elton Chigumbura Grant Elliott Dale Benkenstein Azhar Mahmood etc etc
Thought about Mahmood early on. Realistically I think Hinds would've been a better pick than Karunatne.
