Yeah, totally fair. I was going to snaffle him if he was there in 16-17. Genuinely terrific player who's probably let down by a dreadful domestic cricket structure.
Morgan going the pick before him probably pulled my hand a bit, I was leaning towards picking him instead for that pick. Though Pooran being able to keep probably helps my squad balance more. Yeah WI structure really sucks. Quite a few guys who are real talents that fell through the cracks or were plain mishandled.
May well have made the worst pick of the draft there but given we need 2.5 keepers apparently, might as well take the risk for the 'in-case-of-emergency' keeper
I am much happier with dodgy picks who I know are good players than dodgy picks from the cricket archive's colon tbf. As my latest idea suggests. Check discord
I'm pretty sure McCullum didn't even do it part-time after giving up the full-time gloves. And that was a long time ago. I guess he's probably borderline a worthwhile pick with the bat?
de Villers had not been a wicket keeper for years when he took over for SA... you either have it or you don't. McCullum is as least good enough to be called a part timer. Whether he should have been picked with his last FC match being 4 years ago.. that is something else.
Yeah I don't think he was a good enough player in his prime to go right now, especially given he stopped keeping for fitness reasons. The only real saving grace is that he was still playing up until quite recently, but even that was T20's....
Yeah I don’t plan on him playing much. Figure if he keeps I’m boned anyway, he’s not a backupC he’s a deputy backup. Sure his batting will be nerfed but just hoping he’d be a not dreadful reserve bat. I reckon if he played now he’d be okay
