Reverse Alphabetic Draft

Whatever it takes!!!
TBF, my strategy after the Rabada pick was to somehow get O'Reilly but once I lost him, I just started drafting favorites again.. :laugh:

I also have 7 players already so I figure it was time to cash in my earlier conservativeness.

Kallis, Imran and Sobers are immense value to a team. Now I don't know why I picked Lloyd instead of skipping to Kallis.

Side note: It must be prohibited to pick both Imran and Sobers in a team like Tueton has.

It doesn't mean what stephen thinks it does. "If you want to pick Bradman, you must pick Mahmadullah and counting Mahmadullah have a minimum of 9 players in your side already. Bradman must be your 10th or 11th player." means:
If I want to pick Bradman
1. I must pick Mahmadullah
2. I must have a minimum of 9 players in my side counting Mahmadullah already (before picking Bradman) - so Bradman must be the 10th or 11th pick

Prove me wrong.

stephen should have spent 2 more minutes writing the rules clearly. This is terrible choice of words for what he wanted it to mean. Should have simply said "If you want to pick Bradman, Mahmudullah must be your 9th pick." He didn't even need so many words.

Lara and Laker both gone - I would have picked one of them in place of Mahmadullah if the rules were written in correct language. Please count me out and enjoy the draft if I'm not allowed Bradman (or not allowed to change my Mahmadullah pick for Lara or Laker).
