True. But only in Round 1. Everyone has the chance to have a a top 2 pick at some stage. Early picks of all-rounders, spinners. fast bowlers are just as advantageous IMO.

Why am I not surprised. When the randomiser gave you Number One I could have picked for you.

In fairness to all, I should advise in advance the penalty if you pick Bradman (after all, I know.)
If you pick Bradman in Round 3 or Round 4, you are relegated to last place in Rounds 5,6,7 and 8. Worse still, you can't pick your pace attack (Rounds 9-11) until all others have completed their 3 selections.

Sorry FP - there was a maximum of 10 players so that the draft could be arranged to ensure everone gets a top 2 pick in one of the categories.

This is where participants select their all-rounder who will be their 5th bowler. They may or may not bat at 6 - depending on remaining selections. However, you may well have selected an allrounder (eg W.Hammond who qualifies as a #3 or #4) in this case you may pick a specialist bat at #6 BUT they must have played 25% or the majority of their innings in that spot.

This Draft has participants selecting their team in batting order, though the bowlers can be adjusted in the batting order when naming the final team.
Rounds 1 and 2 participants select their openers.
Rounds 3 and 4 participants select their number 3 and 4 bats. (First chosen doesn’t have to bat at 3)
Rounds 5 and 6 participants select a batsman and an all-rounder. (You may pick the allrounder first, but number 5 must bat there)
Rounds 7 and 8 participants select a wicketkeeper and a spinner. (Batting order flexible after 1-5)
Rounds 9, 10 and 11 participants select either 3 pace bowlers or 2 pace bowlers and another spinner.
When picking batsmen for positions 1-5 the player must have played at least 25% of their innings in that position OR the majority of their innings in that position.
The batting order for positions 6-11 can be made after draft is completed (eg your wicketkeeper may have a better batting average than your all-rounder so you might bat him at 6).
Bradman IS available BUT there is a HUGE penalty to pay in the later draft order.

Do you always have to be forced to doing good things?

Only if both qualify under the 25%/majority of innings proviso. At the moment 1-5 are specialist bat positions.

Well, I'm your nemesis and hate not picking specialists everywhere.
