Cricket team draft

[Jakester1288]

Thought you were going to go an all rounder in this round? Probably a good decision to go for an opener though tbh.

I was, but I need an opener more. There are already heaps of allrounders in my side, really making my batting order weak, so I needed to get a quality batsmen while I could.

I will be going for a quick/allrounder next go, if some of the other batsmen on my list go.

Good move picking an opener. Your team was crying out for one, You already have a few handy all rounders!

I say we drop the 24 hour rule and put in a 12 hour rule. Lets speed up this draft before it just drags on and on and on.

 

[Matt79]

I personally agree with you but I think with timezones that would be too harsh on lots of people. The game will be ruined just as much if we have heaps of missed turns... :

 

[Matt79]

Meanwhile, Jamee's dragging his feat and ruining the game for everyone...

Jamee999 to pick next.

 

[NUFAN]

I think if you are already behind a pick and it's your turn again, I think your turn should be skipped straight away cause you've had all of this time to pick.

So basically if Morgie hasn't caught up, Michael 7's picks and then pskov twice and then Michael again. This will speed up the process.

Should have them replaced, imo.

Raghav's up.

Nice pick. The openers are starting to go at a fast rate now.

 

[Simon]

I say we drop the 24 hour rule and put in a 12 hour rule. Lets speed up this draft before it just drags on and on and on.

no way 12 hours would not work, say if it becomes my pick tomorrow for example after 3pm I wont be able to pick again till Saturday morning, if I was skipped that would be totally unfair.

Over the weekend you keep 24hours, but during thr week it should be a big deal really.

Though it only a couple guys holding things up generally and they should be replaced.

 

[Jakester1288]

Keep it at 24 I reckon, no need changing things.

I reckon we should can morgieb if he doesn't pick before his next go. Agree?

Seems fair enough. We should be able to get a replacement from the ODI thread without too much bother.

 

[Matt79]

Yeah, if he hasn't come on by his next pick, nominate a replacement and let him take the picks to catch up.

 

[tim#7]

I will take his place, and seeing as i'm first to nominate i reckon i should be given the spot.

 

[Matt79]

Think a couple of people earlier in this thread or the ODI thread said that they'd like to go down as the reserve... Nnandan I think might have been the first.

 

[tim#7]

I'll take jakester8888's spot?

I dunno, I expressed interest pretty early, on page 12 of this one i think. But if i wasnt first then i'm happy to be a reserve if another pulls out.

Well, for starters no-one was going to take my spot, I am still fairly active. I obviously had something happening or was busy to not make it on for a day or two, but that doesn't give you the right to take my spot.

It's page 13 for me at the moment, so you obviously have a different amount of posts per page. I go with 40.
