Bad luck to the two players who picked "Richards'"

He's listed as Kapil Dev on cricinfo. Most Pakistani players go by their first name too.

It's the same rules I used for the alphabetical drafts.

@srbhkshk up.

 

[ataraxia]

tbf I prefer it srb's way - I'd get de Kock.

 

[srbhkshk]

Virat Kohli

 

[stephen]

Yeah ataraxia, hb and michaelf all got royally screwed by that rule. At least Greenidge is an ATG!

Anyway, this next round should be friendly enough that we'll all be singing kumbaya at the end of it.

Lets pretend that was a strategical masterstroke rather than pure luck!

AndrewB doing pretty well out of it - Hutton to Gavaskar is the sort of disappointment I want in life.
