The Best of Each Decade Birthday DRAFT

[AldoRaine18]

Please save your analysis of the teams for the Voting thread as it's not a good idea to enter into any debates in the middle of the Draft.

How do you plan to do the voting, mate? Would it be a single poll with all 14 teams in it?

**** was really hoping to be down the bottom of the order as any choice here is going to be massively restricting.

Sid Barnes (1910s)

I made a suggestion recently to have 2 Groups of 7, followed by Semi Finals, and a Grand Final. The details are in the following thread below. Feel free to comment in that thread.

Traditionally Aldoraine, we have a single Voting thread where all the teams are listed and people vote for their favourite 3 teams. At this stage we will probably go with tradition unless there is extra sudden support for the more complex system.

Thanks buddy. I will express my views in that thread.

Good pick with Crowe, Chasingthedon.

 

[watson]

Well played CTD. Now look forward to Fred's pick as it's difficult to split your two teams at this point.

 

[chasingthedon]

Cheers chaps. Might have to wait for Mr Fertang, as it's past his bedtime in the UK. Maybe he'll have to get up to pee and surprise us.

 

[fredfertang]

Slightly worrying that you know my bladder so well Dave, however neither you nor your able assistant Dr Watson are going to lure me into the discourtesy/possible disqualificaion of voting out of turn!

 

[fredfertang]

In fact I will jump in, in the interests of keeping things moving, because Jake has already picked from the 1920s so I couldn't step on his toes anyway. As I only have room for one spinner I'm going for one with two styles and who, if you are a slave to averages, is the best of them all - add in the fact that to have a decent team you need to have a Yorkie and I'm amazed he's still available

If all goes according to plan with your last two picks Kyear, then it's very likely that you'll end up with a very well balanced team with a solid batting line-up led by Richards, and a good variety of bowlers led by Lillee and Laker. Very interested to see who'll you get for that No.7 spot.

I think our bladders are of similar vintage.

EDIT: and retention duration.
