Pretty good team with great balance, obviously. Both right arm and left arm pace as well as fast medium and swing and reverse swing in plenty, good spin options with Benaud, Cowper, Greig & Compton, when needed. A side that will be competitive everywhere and give all sides here a proper matchup.

If I was to run this again - certainly things to keep in mind. The snake format was mostly used as it is 'the default' and I guess the 'state of play' when it comes to draft order for whole game being transparent from the get go.

Might just have no Bradman - envisaged it would lead to some being very aggressive stealing at the start and banking on the skip option with others being much more careful. But yeah agree that they ended up being more defensive options.

I still enjoyed this draft immensely since it allowed me to build the team I wanted to with players I rate. Got skipped once, which slowed things down, but apart from that I had a clear run in terms of team building (which is what drafting is about to me).

@JOJOXI Thanks for an interesting draft. With a little refining of the rules this could become even better. Thanks again.
