    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.

    Half-expected someone to take a wild punt on Aya Gqamane.

    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.

  13. MrPrez CM Dyer

    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.

  14. morgieb MC Burridge

    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.

    When Nino picked Rimmington I was hoping to pick Talha

    all rounders:

    Abdul Razzaq
    Yusuf Pathan
    Dwayne Smith
    Ryan Hinds
    Elton Chigumbura
    Grant Elliott
    Dale Benkenstein
    Azhar Mahmood

    etc etc

  17. Weeman27bob BE Force

    We definitely considered Pathan and Benkenstein.

  18. morgieb MC Burridge

    Thought about Mahmood early on.

    Realistically I think Hinds would've been a better pick than Karunatne.
