Scorecard Draft
- Thread starter G.I.Joe
- Start date
G.I.Joe
International Coach
Yeah, should always get the bowlers first. It's illustrated by the difference between the current Indian and Pakistani sides. India are at the bottom of the table because they concentrated on their batsmen, while Pakistan are at the top because they prioritised an awesome bowling attack.

Pre-war era and the nineteenth century are not synonymous though...(just like post-war era and the twenty-first century aren't)...Real men balance teams in 11 rounds.I don't get it. When the draft started, people were all snobby and couldn't wait to get to the Pre War era. Now that we've been there, people realise it wasn't all that flash and they'd prefer to make an extra pick from more conventional and well known eras.
However, I don't mind keeping it to 11 rounds. But given an option now, I'll definitely prefer a twelfth pick for myself (for obvious reasons). Though I understand that mightn't be fair on some, especially those who played extremely well to get Bradman and Marshall in the same team

So you gave up already?
It was just 1 person and I had made my pick and that too was Faulkner and not Bradman or Marshall!

So whats the problem? Joe handing Bradman to me or me picking O'Reilly without reading the rules properly?Poor you! Having to pick Faulkner!
Oh and yeah, great drafting from kingkallis, not like Joe handed him it on a silver platter, intentionally.

Someone was going to get Bradman sooner or later. It would've been a farce if we all danced around refusing to select players like Miller or Hutton or Sutcliffe just so no one could choose the Don.

A good pick mate! Adcock unfortunately did not get much support from others...

My first 2 picks were actually intended to get more marks in the 'X Factor' ratings by marc71178...
Had I known that before the ODI Auction Draft, I would have chosen Marcus Trescothick over Bevan or Pollock
, too.Luckily, this time my first 2 'X Factor' players were slightly better than Trescothick
