Associates ODI draft

[mr_mister]

Though, I do think voting and splitting teams will be difficult if we're forced to be picking batsmen based on a single decent WC knock as early as round 7, which is what I'm picturing for myself lol

In if ok

Don't worry, there have been a lot of associate odis in the last 20 years so plenty of players have many games under their belts.

8 hours per pick, JOJOXI is up. I didnt hear back but if @AndrewB or any other late entrants wish to join i can slot them in at the end of R1.

 

[AndrewB]

Since you're up to 11 players, I'll sit this one out.

 

[Teuton]

No worries, 12 would be perfectly fine though.

 

[CricAddict]

For this draft, only players who played an ODI for a nation before that nation played its inaugural Test are eligible. This includes any nations that haven't played Tests.

To compensate for a shallow top end, R3 will be a repeat of R2. Other round orders will be as usual.

Post in if interested.

8 hours per pick.

This rule takes out a lot of good minnow players like Neil Johnson, Goodwin, Sean Williams, Brendan Taylor, Gurbaz, Adair etc. but rightly so.

 

[mr_mister]

Aravinda just misses out too ?

@JOJOXI just a couple of hours more before you get timed out. Do pick up soon.

 

[CricAddict]

Oh yeah that`s right.

 

[Teuton]

Since its the first pick and listing probably came out late at night in the UK I will say it is a 12 hour time out for the first 2 days. Then reverting back to 8hr

This draft is moving at a snail`s pace so far.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

bad luck with time zones, Heef is in NZ

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Essex and Netherlands legend, Ryan ten Doeschate for me.

Epic ODI record to boot.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

@Magrat Garlick up, by the looks of things.

Go Norwegian, Magrat!

(just gonna note this draft is going to be trickier than I thought due to that spell in the 2000s when a number of associates lost ODI status post-world-cup. Definitely gonna be some guys picked based on reputation and first class stats rather than just ODI/List A abilities.)

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Sadly Norway have only played T20Is
