    My super long tail is somewhat balanced out by picking two additional number 8s in Plunkett and Bhatti, and Dube can bat 7 easily (hopefully it's one of his preferred positions...). Whoever plays will be based on the pitch

    Need to get a top order bat, a keeper and a middle order bat for my last three picks I think. Potentially another bowler instead of middle order bat

    Roy, Phillips and Blundell can either open or be middle order so they're a bit flexible which helps (though Blundell and Phillips are nerfed if they open)

    drop kuggs or shinwari and go with 4 main bowlers imo.
     
  5. morgieb MC Burridge

    Yeah especially given how well Dube's started his career too.
     
  6. GoodAreasShane S Thexton

    Only team Kuggelejin should be making is the Rimutaka Prison first XI imo

    None of my batsmen like batting at 7, barring possibly Dube, Cribb is away so hasn't got back to me on his batting positions. It's definitely an option - probably Kuggs given Shinwari provides some variation with his left arm pace (even though that doesn't help my tail)

    Dube might get noobowned a fair bit. Pretty gun stats though, didn’t expect that given how rubbish his bowling is irl.

    Not a fan of allrounders this late in the draft. We’re already struggling to find quality specialists, so expecting an AR to do well is optimistic. Best bet would be those bowlers who can bat a bit types, like Craig Overton, Kashif Bhatti etc.
     
  9. Chewie JA Chewie

    Yea that was my worry, no-rounders are the worst haha

    Hopefully he plays the ODIs v Australia...
     
  10. Captain SSD Dong

    If he does you should hope he isn't called on to bowl lol. Bloke sends down club level throwdowns. I rate his hitting ability though.

    Dube is...not good.
     
  12. morgieb MC Burridge

    Perhaps, he still averages 50 & 25 in FC cricket though despite a significant proportion of it coming from A-team cricket so he'll be OK for this.
     
  13. Dan DB Wayne

    He won't be. He's shit ffs.

    You picked Cheema for crying out loud. Your ratings mean less than nothing now.

    So did you. And 8 rounds earlier for good measure.

    Yeah, in a draft where I was literally trolling the whole time.
