Debut Chronology Draft - Tests

The rules are simple:

There will be a varied draft order. Picking from an earlier year will allow you to get an early pick in the next round. No 2 players can be picked from the same year of debut. All 143 years of test cricket are open so this works ideally if there are 16+ participants. I'll start it whenever we hit that number.

Slightly regretting my pick of Macartney - with hindsight might have gone for Worrell instead of Walcott to give me additional bowling and not picked Macartney - Macartney did average over 50 at 3 which influenced my pick but he's certainly probably not in the top 20 or so Top Order batsman most would list.

This is a big draft so Macartney is an expected pick. Armstrong from me was pushing it though... :)

Interesting to see how he is perceived - he's always someone who is on the fringes of possible selection for me in drafts - his averages certainly look decent but I guess with no real restrictions in this draft minus no 2 players from same year its trying to find a balance between not being too reliant on getting your ideal XI with later picks but also get enough quality in the side at the same time.

Richie Benaud (1952-1-25)

Also, I expect Tayfield to slip through every draft and get disappointed

To summarise in one post - @Michaelf7777777 - your picks outside of Miller are ineligible, John Waite is an eligible pick if you choose to persist with him but you would have just the 2 players (Miller and Waite)

AndrewB must be timed out. His time started after trundler's pick. JOJOXI can pick.
