I thought I'd get that one easily. Very surprised. I guess , like me, people were trying to secure a keeper early?

Keepers are never selected early in a Draft, with the possible exception of Adam Gilchrist. Normally they are selected in Rounds 9-10-11.
Which just goes to show how much the emotion of fear messes with people heads. In this particular scenario it's the fear of 'Sheep', as strange as that sounds.

There is an obvious tension that exists between wanting to pick an ATG, but needing to pick an obscure cricketer in order to avoid a 'Sheep'. So knowing when to go for the ATG, and when to go for the obscure cricketer is the name of the game. I think that there are some simple principles that can be followed when trying to decide between those 2 categories during a pick.
Of course the risk of getting a 'Sheep' will never go away, but I believe that the risk can be minimised somewhat, while at the same time grabbing the occasional ATG.
That said, Engineer and Adcock were illogical picks by me, and I think that I understand why.

We have a list of banned players, so would it be possible to have a list of selected players as well??? Hard enough keeping track as it is, and we're not even half way through.
(Thanks for the hint - resending pick now)
