I wish the coaches would say the name of the players when they pick them - it'd just add a little something.
Weirdly, for a draft where they only have 100 seconds, this feels a bit...slow?

Ravi!
Southern Brave coach Mahela Jayawardene: "I was quite surprised on the return that David Warner was available. He's played a lot of franchise cricket.
"Coupled with Andre Russell we've got two match-winners. That's what you need when you're playing a tournament with just eight group games.
"Picking spinners was one of the plans because there's big boundaries so it's good to get two good spinners."
Mahela Jayawardene, Stephen Fleming and Daniel Vettori are all in attendance tonight.
It's like someone just took some of my all-time favourite cricketers and locked them in a room.
Matthew Wade is in the next bracket. Can someone pleeeeeeeease pick him so we can have Wade v Archer part II next summer?
Birmingham Phoenix's Chris Woakes: "We've got a good mixture. Howell and Helm are two guys that have gone really well in domestic cricket recently. It's good to see them getting a good amount of money too.
"We've seen in T20 that pace off goes well, so we've followed that so far. But we might want to get someone who can bowl quick!"

I think Birmingham Phoenix have got a cracking team building.
Look how happy it's made Moeen!
Welsh Fire haven't picked a spinner yet, which means Steve Smith and Colin Ingram are going to be doing a lot of work...
Pay attention, Jonny...
Trent Rockets: Nathan Coulter-Nile
Southern Brave: Shadab Khan
Northern Superchargers: Adam Lyth
Welsh Fire: Ben Duckett, Ravi Rampaul
Oval Invincibles: Rilee Rossouw
London Spirit: Roelof van der Merwe, Mark Wood
Birmingham Phoenix: Benny Howell, Tom Helm
"We've got to go spin," says Welsh Fire's Jonny Bairstow. "My options are not great."
They bosses aren't listening, Jonny. They go for experienced West Indies seamer Ravi Rampaul.
I'm reliably he was the top wicket taker in the T20 Blast this year. Clever.
Shane Warne is taking an AGE.
He finally opts for England seamer Mark Wood.
Middlesex's Tom Helm is off to Birmingham Phoenix. A lot of domestic picks at the mo.
In Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes and Kane Williamson, Birmingham could assemble a Nicest Men in Cricket XI.
There's another one to add to it - Gloucestershire all-rounder Benny Howell.
Shane Warne gives that pen another chew. He's got his thinking face on again...
An interesting choice. They go for experienced all-rounder Roelof Van Der Merwe.
Rilee Rossouw, who plays for South Africa and had a stint at Hampshire, is off to Landaaaaan.
Welsh Fire are doing very well here for me. Bairstow, Banton, Smith and Starc already confirmed...
Now they add England and Notts batsman Ben Duckett.
Adam Lyth!
Lyth is excellent in T20. That's some batting line-up they're assembling...
Southern Brave only have one pick in this round because they have already gone for Chris Jordan.
They go for Pakistan leggie Shadab Khan.
