Okay 10 participants, so I'll make it 3 rounds this time with 30 picks in total to get the best XI.

first round x 12
second round x 10
third round x 8

I'll allow just under 48 hours in the first round and if a couple more people beg to play I will allow but will stop at 12 maximum.

Email your 12 first round picks to sheepdraft@gmail.com with your forum name somewhere in the email please.

Just a reminder that you can only select Test match cricketers. If someone picks a player already on the banned list and I notice, I will write back to you.

Could you do a quick double check on my 11th pick? He isn't on either banned list, yet wasn't successful?

Thank you mate. I've added number 11 to your successful picks. I'll do a double check of everyone now.
