Interesting draft.

From a Stars POV, I feel we did alright.
A bit surprised that Brook was the first pick. Obviously tried our luck with Rashid but realistically he was never going to leave the Strikers. Rauf returns to the Stars which will be popular and we also nabbed a spinner.

Biggest surprsie was Corey Anderson getting picked up by Hobart, if he finds form though it could be dangerous

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Brook is a class player in any format, his issue is his ego.

OT:

The big man Cornwell opening up for the Royals in the CPL, carving up

Sign him up Thunder

Pink suits him

Don’t understand why they pass up to buy in a round (4 rounds) . Some teams passed up twice , what’s the point of this draft/auction then ?

Each team HAD to pass on a LEAST one round. (Why that's even a thing, I don't know)

The teams who passed twice will be able to sign someone nearer/during the season.

Seems a bit naff really. Let each team a pick from each category, and no signing afterwards unless injury replacement/someone pulls out and let it be done I say

In case anyone hasn't seen the draft:

Strikers retained Rashid and picked 2 English players - Jamie Overton and Adam Hose
Stars selected Harry Brook (English, Haris Rauf returns and Usama Mir (Pakistan)
Sixers retained Tom Curran, James Vince and Rehan Ahmed (all English)
Hobart took Chris Jordan, Sam Hain (both English) and former black cap Corey Anderson
Renegades only used 2 picks - Quinton De Kock (RSA) and kept Mujeeb Ur Rahman (AFG)
Sydney Thunder also used only 2 picks - Alex Hales (Eng) returns, and Zaman Khan (Pakistan)
Heat hold onto Munro (NZ), Sam Billings (Eng) and Paul Walter (ENG)
Perth selected 2 English as well in Zak Crawley and Laurie Evans

De Kock to make his BBL debut while Brook and Crawley find new clubs

Rashid Khan was retained by Adelaide Strikers who also nabbed Hundred player of the tournament Jamie Overton

Think all the sides that got 3 players did well I thought

No Windies players?, they must have a 5 match test series going on somewhere /sarcasm

 

[King-Gutho94]

Alex Hales must be nearing the games record for Sydney Thunder he has been there longer then most of the domestic players.
