Monday Speed Schoolyard Pick Draft

[G.I.Joe]

Three selectors per test playing nation, take turns at picking their playing XI.

5 minutes max per pick only.

Order of picks goes (eg)Selector 1 (India A) - pick 1 ----> Selector 2 (India B) - pick 1 ----> Selector 3 (India C) - picks 1 and 2 ----> Selector 2 (India B) - pick 2 ---->Selector 1 (India A) - picks 2 and 3 ----> Selector 2 (India B) - pick 3 ----> etc etc.

First come, first served. If a selector takes more than 5 minutes for a pick, next selector goes ahead with his pick.


Only players that have played a FC match within the last 1 year, and qualified to represent that country in Test cricket as of today, eligible.

Timer goes off once three selectors sign up for a particular nation.



I'll go first - India A, first player to be picked once two more guys sign up for India B and C.

Harbhjan Singh

Will take Australia A if this is still open.

Why don't you take SS's spot as India C instead? He's vanished. He's got 4 picks unpicked so far.
