I should be after ankitj.

 

[trundler]

I should be after ankitj.

What'd he do?

 

[stephen]

I should be after ankitj.

Fixed

 

[ataraxia]

So everyone's charging too far ahead now? Well there's my plans gone.

 

[ataraxia]

Bert Oldfield

1. WH Ponsford /
2. GM Turner /
3. IVA Richards / pt
4. SR Waugh* / pt
...
8. WAS Oldfield + /
...
11. DL Underwood o

 

[Pothas]

Am all for the charging ahead.

Dennis Lillee

 

[stephen]

So everyone's charging too far ahead now? Well there's my plans gone.

Going from M to S was a thing people did in the first draft so doing the opposite isn't unexpected. N and O don't have too many greats. P does though.

 

[Teuton]

Does anyone know how statsguru orders the O's?
Is O'Reilly after Oldfield?

 

[weldone]

Mahmadullah

 

[ataraxia]

Mahmadullah

Darn I misread the rules very badly...

Had thought that Mahmudullah had to be your 9th+ pick.

 

[ataraxia]

But you can't pick Mahmuddullah until your 9th pick since after him you can only get Bradman and an A.

Tbh I think it would be interesting with no Bradman penalty whatsoever. It would be a race to pick 9 whio may handicap your team enough anyway?

immediately followed by this post:

I don't think it would cripple you enough. I'm reluctant to allow Bradman without an artificial penalty. It's not even a huge penalty anyway since if you're going for him you'll probably be trying to pick a bunch of players in the second half of the alphabet anyway. But it does force you to pick a mediocre player (by the standards of other players that exist in this draft) and plan ahead if you want him. It also mirrors the penalty in the basic alphabet draft.

I'm confused.

 

[Teuton]

That was my reading of the rule, not Stephen's. I must have misunderstood the rule then. Also confused.
