Its clear that most of us are picking our favorites and not just the guys with the best stats. Makes for an interesting draft!
I am not just picking favourites, I am going with the best available. A bit hard to argue with either one of Boult or Williamson.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

I mean strictly by the numbers...Rohit and Bumrah are still there. I wouldn't pick either of them ever (can't stand Bumrha's ugly action).

Pretty good pick. Root is a fantastic ODI batsmen. Better than Smith for sure.

Didn't even realize Bond had played an ODI after 2010.

My strategy has been to try not to make only heart based picks and be sensible. Now that you have put at least one of my ideas out in the open, have to hope no one takes them

People want the freedom to pick their favorite players. I do to. Jaybro mentioned that the system I have devised is completely stat based. I could have picked better stat players than Mushy and Fizz, but I did not. I wanted Kane Williamson at 8, but he got snatched up before me, so I went to my next fave player, Mushy. There were several batsmen with better averages and strike rates, but I don't care for them.

This will be a way to see how our favorites stack up. Of course not all the players we pick will be our faves (because someone else will pick them), but hopefully most of us will be pleased with most of the guys we pick.
