Sheep Draft version 4.0

[Spikey]

I think the problem people may have with question 1 is that it relies a bit on general knowledge. I don't think it's lacking in options, but people may not be able to find them

or maybe theres a page on cricinfo which neatly identifies them

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah there is a section on Cricinfo, but I just very easily googled a list of options too.

 

[Coronis]

Monk WAC. Should've gone for that other wicketkeeper. Plenty of worse sheep I could've gotten though. Don't mind my middle order atm.

lol @ Cabinet's sheep.

 

[NUFAN]

TBH I had never heard of any of the sheep for question 4 before today. Hadn't heard of David O'Sullivan and perhaps not Eric Atkinson either.

Slightly interesting for the stats buffons, out of the 33 nominated players for the Sub Continent questions, 24 of the picks were Indian, 9 of the picks were Pakistani and none from Sri Lanka - surely there were a couple of decent SL players who retired before 2000.

KK, Invers isn't the worst sheep to get, he makes a decent fifth bowling option and seems capable of batting at 7.

But Danny Morrison would have been a better sheep for me

 

[kingkallis]

Taking huge risk, hope people doesn't disturb my plans this time.

Well, we're try not to KK.

Selections for questions 6-8 e-mailed.

 

[honestbharani]

damn.. I see there was one more guy that I checked out in the As who was not picked by anyone and the guy had a bowling average of 22 as well.. ****..

 

[honestbharani]

Nuf, didn't you do a thing that in round 12 we get to choose from the list of banned players based on who answer your question 12 first and fastest or something like that or was that in another draft?


I really think a wildcard round 12 sorta adds to the draft as seen from the 80s and 90s draft by Bagapath..

I always do 12 rounds in this format as its totally normally to get a sheep. I have in the past had a 12th round where you chose from the banned players, I may do it again, I haven't thought about the 12th round yet, but at the moment, there aren't really enough names, perhaps the list will grow.

Plenty of time, but Marcuss, Morgie and Monk to pick.

yeah, think it ll be good if for round 12 you are allowed to choose from the banned players.. it really helps as its amazing how different a team can look coz of just 1 ATG..

 

[kingkallis]

True. It can make a huge difference and Invers is itching to be my No.12 so he can manage the team from outside

Two 50+ middle order batsmen, and a 49.6. 3 good captaincy candidates too.

 

[morgieb]

I did send you my picks, nfi what you're talking about Nufers.

Been meaning to say that the picture of the sheep-pen without any sheep in it was a very nice touch. And in some ways - hilarious.
