an idea: a draft of non-cricketers

[Zinzan]

Vote for bonus rounds to add 2 commentators, 2 umpires & 1 coach once the XIs are done. Or perhaps one of each....

As a bit of a traditionalist, I want a keeper who can catch the ball first and foremost.

Ball tamperer - if he's playing I hope we're going to have Darrell Hair umpiring

 

[Daemon]

This is great

He's a smartass the same as Sangakkara though

 

[Burgey]

Personally I think it's really rude if people wait a long time and don't take their draft picks as expeditiously as possible.

 

[mr_mister]

have people timed out? Babe Ruth to open the batting

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nice pick buy still 3 hours to go before u can pick I think

 

[Shady Slim]

lol sorry to be a dick but the one rule was no baseballers/softballers

 

[Burgey]

Bob Hawke. Uni Blue at Oxford, where he set the world record for the fastest drinking of a pint of beer. Became head of the ACTU then PM of Australia. Could drink and was a decent player.

Ahhh **** this ****. That's what's wrong with these idiotic ****ing drafts. Why doesn't everyone just pick a ****ing eleven at once and post the **** like a normal person would? **** you all. Nice try from the OP to make this ********* format of thread actually interesting, but not even such a wonderful idea could do it. Yep, drafts kill everything. Even decent ideas like this. If drafts were around in the early 1900s, Henry Ford would never have got the Model T built, because some **** would have had to wait an extra 30 minutes until they could add a component. Out.

Drafting is serious business, how else am I supposed to make a pretend team which can beat other pretend teams?

 

[mr_mister]

drop the attitude lol it's a fun way to past the time, as pointless as anything else

 

[fredfertang]

I'm guessing it's my turn, but if I'm wrong my learned friend Mr Burge will doubtless correct me

I'm going to pick my batting coach first, Yoda

This is a pretty outstanding rant. Well played.

I'll start off with a relatively sensible selection. Usain Bolt will be my 200kph bowling spearhead.

I've read enough of these drafts to know how I react here.....

Damn you!

 

[morgieb]

OK.

You wanted to pick Kim Jong Il? Well why not the man who started it all?

Capable of bowling at 200kmph and is able to swing the ball over 5m. Batting makes Don Bradman look like Chris Martin. Can field anywhere and he'll still run you out with his demon arm. The whole package.

 

[mr_mister]

I'll change my pick to the Undertaker who can open the bowling won't generate too much pace these days but can trouble the batsman with steep bounce

 

[Victor Ian]

not sure if my pick has come - but i'll start with most important position

Jesus - #3 bat, opening bowler, all rounder with divine intercession
