Debuts & Retirements draft

[honestbharani]

I am gonna pick now as I don't think Coronis' pick will affect me or mine will affect him.


Charles Kelleway ​as my allrounder (1910-1928)

 

[watson]

I'm going to withdraw from this gents. If anyone wants to take over my team feel free. Hectic week of work coming up and then I'm off to the beach for 10 days.

Happy to take over.

 

[OverratedSanity]

@harsh, hb

Um I haven't picked yet and I still have time. Go in order ffs.

Stan McCabe

1930-38

 

[jimmy101]

Happy to take over.

Sad to see you go RH. But happy to have you take over Watson. I wish you the best of luck with your first pick because by the looks of things it might be a difficult one.

 

[jimmy101]

Please be careful with your picks lads. If you are in a position that HB & harsh (& Mr earlier in the draft) were in where it isn't your turn but you believe your selection won't clash with the others I don't mind you picking early to keep the draft moving, just please be 100% sure that this is indeed the case & there is no clash whatsoever.

I realize that this is the kind of draft where people don't necessarily have to adhere to the selection order.

 

[jimmy101]

But yeah, if we could stick to the actual selection order to a reasonable extent that'd be great.

I knew you were going to do this ****. Am inside your head.

 

[watson]

Are we doing 11 or 12 Rounds?

(Mainly because I've just found out that Red Hill has bottled me into 1912 with not many escape routes )

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Monk and his darstedly ways reborn as RH!
Now we're at this point I'd like 12 rounds too but I think it was decided as 11 rounds from the outset. I don't think rules should be changed at this stage. That's my vote anyhow

 

[jimmy101]

Just 11 rounds I'm afraid Watson. Red Hill's position in 1912 wasn't great to begin with, & then, to my surprise, a few more players migrated to 1912 who will all pick before you unfortunately. Not many escape routes I know. Hopefully you can make up for it in later rounds.

 

[mr_mister]

second dud player, hopefully my last:

Keith Andrew, my wicket keeper ('54-63)

 

[jimmy101]

schearzie > J_C > morgieb

Coronis you're also up for a pick too next time you're online

 

[jimmy101]

second dud player, hopefully my last:

Keith Andrew, my wicket keeper ('54-63)

Huge swerve. Did not see that coming lol

 

[OverratedSanity]

second dud player, hopefully my last:

Keith Andrew, my wicket keeper ('54-63)

Lol what?! That's a bit unexpected to say the least.

And no, Keith Andrew is not a spud. Great keeper by most accounts.

 

[mr_mister]

well that's good i'd never heard of him lol.


The obvious choice is not worth it for me here, I'm eyeing off 3 ATG players who I would have skipped over if I went with that player we're all thinking about. his career went too long for someone who has already chosen Wilf Rhodes and George Headley. If I picked him i'd have to fit 7 players in with 40 years left to choose from. It'd be stupid really.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Your call, but I think it's stupid.

 

[mr_mister]

i think you're stupid

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Lol
