Scorecard Draft II

I'm not saying there's any of us who will abuse that trust.

weldone, it breaks the continuity of selections. I wouldn't want that, although if the others agree, I'd prefer it to the status quo.

All this fuss to do with what to do if someone misses a go makes me even more determined that I'm not going to do so.

I quite like it, means you're punished for missing your go (effectively have to pick the second best player from that scorecard) without disrupting the order of the rest of the draft.

 

[Cevno]

Bad choice of scorecard, mate!

Didn't give too much thought into it,tbh.

 

[Himannv]

Doing Jake some favours IMO.

I'll tell you what someone could have done if he were first up this draft. He'd rather have Gilchrist than Dravid. So he'd just wait out his window, let the second guy pick Dravid, then he'd walk into the thread, apologise for the delay, and pick Gilchrist. This is a scenario that could theoretically play out at any stage of the draft, be it to pick a preferred player or to avoid selecting from a difficult era.

We're playing on the honour system here, and I'm not saying there's any of us who will abuse that trust. But experience says there's likely to be controversy, and I'd rather we had this mechanism in place to avoid that. Yes, I agree that there's a chance that the guy might miss his window the second time too, and that poses a question as to when to let him make his selection next. I'd still rather we figured out an answer to that difficult question than let people walk in and select whenever convenient (for whatever reasons) for them to do.

damn it.........this is not fair...........I wanted a good bowler and now I have been forced to pick from the India v WI test. So not fair. Damn you salman

An easy solution for this can be to force him to select from the original scorecard.

For example, by that rule if salman comes back now he can select anyone from the original scorecard except Dravid. And the game moves on (the next person selects from the Muralitharan scorecard).

awta

Delete your post with the selection and pretend you never even logged in until just now, IMO

 

[Howe_zat]

Adam Gilchrist.

And just to piss everyone off here's the World XI scorecard.

Am I doing it right?

 

[G.I.Joe]

No, you can't use that scorecard.

 

[Cevno]

Why?

 

[weeman27bob]

Why?

It says in the rules the test have to be between two ICC sanctioned cricket nations, or something along those lines.

 

[weldone]

No, you can't use that scorecard.

As per the rules mentioned here, he can.

Don't mislead people here, hoe.

Edit: Oops, it seems I goofed up! But I don't support the rule of not allowing that scorecard. The first expression that came to my mind after seeing Howe_Zat's scorecard was 'well played mate'!

 

[G.I.Joe]

As per the rules mentioned here, he can.

Don't mislead people here, hoe.

No he can't. The last point in the OP mentions that the Tests should involve Test nations.

 

[weldone]

By the way, is West Indies considered a test 'nation'?

Cant use that scorecard Jake. Read the rules. Has to be test playing nations.

The first impression that came to my mind was, "Don't pull that stunt here. We've anticipated and accounted for this eventuality last year itself"

Yes.
