PLEASE VOTE FOR YOUR 3 FAVOURITE AND STRONGEST TEST TEAMS.
Please note that voting will last exactly one week and then the winner will be declared. May the best team win!
ICC Best-Ever Test Championship Rating Draft
The Draft is quite simple;
1. Select XI players from the ICC all-time Test Championship Rating list. The easiest way to locate a player and their highest rating is to use the 'Compare Players' option under 'Mens Test Statistics' (second link);
http://relianceiccrankings.com/menstest.php
http://relianceiccrankings.com/playercomparison/test/
2. Your Total Budget is 7975 rating points (an average of 725 per player). I am hoping that this Total will allow people to select some of their favourite ATGs, but at the same time force the selection of some lesser known players so that the Draft creates some interesting teams.
3. The cost for each player will be whatever happens to be their highest ever rating in either the Batting, Bowling, or All-Rounder categories. Please note that there is no category specific to wicket-keeping. If a player like Clive Rice has a rating of zero for both batting and bowling, and therefore doesn't have a proper rating, then you can't select him;
Example 1: Ian Botham
Batting Rating = 811 points
Bowling Rating = 911 points
All-Rounder = 646 points
Therefore, Ian Botham will cost you 911 rating points should you select him.
Example 2: Adam Gilchrist
Batting Rating = 874 points
Bowling Rating = 0 points
All-Rounder = 0 points
Therefore, Adam Gilchrist will cost you 874 rating points should you select him.
4. NO Bradman
5. The order for Round 1 will be randomised, and then the order will be reversed for Round 2.....and so forth. The order for all 11 Rounds will be posted at the beginning of the Draft so you can plan ahead.
6. You have 12 hours to select your player. If you miss 3 consecutive Rounds then it will be assumed that you have quit the game and cannot rejoin. Feel free to PM a fellow Drafter to post your pick for you if you think that you won't be around your PC during your turn.
7. When everyone has finalised their team there will be the usual voting thread where CWers will be asked to vote for their 3 favourite and strongest teams.
