Didn't really go in with any game plan other than picking loads of keepers and spinners in round 1. Round two I just went with favourites to make sure I got no sheep. As much as I all the seamers in the side, I'm a bit frustrated I couldn't get better. Amborse, Pollock, Steyn, Johnson, Harris, Anderson, Broad all failed as picks, and Aldo got ****ing McGrath.

I'm really sorry Cabinet, you actually did get Stuart Broad. For whatever reason I missed his name in the final update. Sorry if that stuffs up your Statham for Prior trade.

 

[NUFAN]

So, Aldo wins right? Awesome squad.

Yeah stupid side that.

**** me that's ridiculous haha.

I would play Peter Pollock in the first XI. That will make it a team of all ATG players.

This is a sick strong team BTW. No need for a poll.

Congrat's Aldo. Shall we get on with NUFAN's next sheep draft?

So it looks like we've got a clear winner, Congrats Aldo - no need to do a poll.

-------------------------------------------------
For Sheep like Draft on Speed 2 I am thinking of making it very difficult. - Every person named in Sheep Draft 1 (including the players who attracted multiple picks) are not included. I'm also not going to limit the participants but will change the number of votes allowed depending on numbers.

Is anyone interested

Sounds awesome, in

 

[fredfertang]

A draft with all the obvious candidates excluded strikes me as an excellent idea, so I'm in

 

[ankitj]

I am in for repeat of this.

Edit: no wait, too hard for me. I'm out.

 

[Red]

Not starting the game or anything yet, but the names above are all banned. I didn't bother including the ordinary sheep players who I gave out in the last game. If I've not added someone from the first game let me know and I will include them now but once the game starts they are all the banned players.

I'm game.

in this time

 

[Saint Kopite]

Count me in, please.

 

[weldone]

I'll play, obviously. But will a sheep draft be interesting after banning almost all the great players?

I think that is where, it will get more interesting. No more obvious names.

 

[AldoRaine18]

Do I get inducted into watson's hall of draft fame?

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Actually out, sat down to start working out picks and realised it would take me hours...

Really? That's a shame. It shouldn't take hours Just go with your gut and/or make sure other people don't get good players.
