Cricket Families Draft

[Michaelf7777777]

I've just had another idea for a draft. This draft is to create a squad of 15 for test cricket. The 1st 7rounds will be taken up by picking two players ho are related to eachother either through blood or marriage (Note: Only 1 player of each pair need to have played tests) and then in the 8th round you can pick anyone who has not had any relatives play 1st class cricket to complete your squad.

Please sign up if interested (I think this idea will only work with a maximum of 8):

1. Michaelf7777777
2. Noble One
3. Stumpski
4. Metallics2006
5. Archie mac

[Noble One]

Novel concept. Will prove interesting how the squads will develop.

Count me in.

 

[stumpski]

Still not really sure how this is going to work, but count me in anyway - I'm sure it will become clear soon enough.

 

[Shri]

I will participate in this.

 

[archie mac]

Put me down

 

[fredfertang]

I've not done one of these before so as this one looks interesting I'd like to join in

Like Mr Fertang there I'm a virgin at these in CC, although have enjoyed the rugby union/rugby league drafts in the Sports Forum, so would like a go, please.

Unless I've misunderstood the rules Bradman can be picked in round 8? Distinct advantage going first that round then...

You're right about Bradman but the person going 1st might still need a keeper or something.

 

[Noble One]

Yes I agree. Finding a decent keeper will be the biggest challenge to this draft.

Yes I agree. Finding a decent keeper will be the biggest challenge to this draft.

Can think of two top notch keeprs with rellies who've played FC cricket, gets bit harder after that.

 

[NUFAN]

I have no job.

In.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Nufan takes the final spot.

Do people think we should have a 12 hour or a 24 hour gap before your pick is skipped?

 

[Michaelf7777777]

My 1st pick will be Graham and Shaun Pollock

Nufan is up.

 

[NUFAN]

Are we voting on overall squad or the best XI? Will impact on selections...

I'll pick BB's man K.S. Ranjitsinhji and his nephew Duleep or Kumar Shri Duleepsinhji.

Best XI. Very good pick btw was hoping they'd slip for another round or two

[Noble One]

Just clarifying some rules.

24 hour time out seems most fair. If the game is running too slow, maybe change it at a later round.

I can think of two Kiwi ones...
