Sheep Draft Version 3.0

[Eds]

So my side is finished. Batting order is a bitch to work out.

 

[Cabinet96]

Oh yes. Pretty happy with my team now.

 

[NUFAN]

Oh yes. Pretty happy with my team now.

Hey mate, I've just noticed a mistake. Your round 11 answer, Hashim Amla was already picked in round 4. You have to pick again. I will change your answer from pass to fail now. I hope you get this message quickly. Sorry.

btw I also just noticed that somebody has picked Bob Willis in the round where we were supposed to pick a player with 90+ tests. Bob Willis has 90 tests. That should be overturned too.

 

[NUFAN]

Just to make it easier. Honestly think I need a bit of an editor or assistant to run this type of draft in the future. So easy to miss something..

Nah 90+ means 90 or more.

Why do people feel the need to post "sent"?

Surely the recipient knows whether you've sent it or not?

The final round of picks, 24 hours to go. Then if everyone could post their playing XI's, we'll then do a vote to declare who has the best team in this Sheep Draft. Last time I got everyone to email me their top 3, 3 poitns for 1st, 2 for 2nd 1 for 3rd and worked out the top 3. It seemed to work well, so we should do it again this time if no one objects..

Blakus I will kill you
