Apologies if I've left out some decent posters. I may have forgotten a couple but it's unlikely.

Anyway. I hate drafts, because in a cricketing context they're stupid. Picking fantasy sides of players from across different eras who will never play against each other is as dumb as dog **** as a past time - about as useless as reading a fantasy novel about elves or dwarfs going on an adventure or some other stupid wankfest.

However, they have a use when it comes to comparing contemporary posters on CW.

This draft will determine the worst XI of the CW vermin who are always her or hereabouts, but who really contribute very little of use except for being space fillers. The kind of posters you usually just trawl past blithely because you know they really add nothing of any real value. They're usually more to be pitied than despised, however, occasionally they're worthy of derision.

I make no apology for having taken this idea from Line & Length's thread and thank him for the inspiration.

 

[Burgey]

ok

 

[Burgey]

I'll leave this open for 24 hours to see who wants to partake. Alternatively just make your nominations.

Or something. I don't know how these ****ing things work. Knock yourselves out.

 

[Athlai]

This is the biggest win for NZ ever.

 

[Shady Slim]

it's good to see the criminally underrated SteveNZ be recognised and get his due

 

[sledger]

nominate ikki

 

[GIMH]

Honoured to be in the First XI. Will think hard about who to nominate

 

[trundler]

nominate ikki

That's not how a draft works ffs.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I have no idea what this means, but I'll nominate Bradman.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Moooo

 

[sledger]

That's not how a draft works ffs.

Draft schmaft

 

[duffer]

Lol, we got Lillee and Thommo. Y'all got no chance

 

[Victor Ian]

****ing 12th manned me. WAC.

 

[GIMH]

Eternal optimists @grecian and @wpdavid will be cheerful coming in at 10-2

 

[sledger]

I'm guessing by the order given I'd probably end up batting with uppercut and cribb a lot. Could see that culminating in some amusing run outs and other shenanigans

 

[GIMH]

Me and smooteh will have some tail end fun

 

[nightprowler10]

Me and smooteh will have some tail end fun

 

[trundler]

Post reported for unmodliness and ISR.

 

[sledger]

I think it's a case of an ordinary SR rather than an ISR

 

[Burgey]

I'll leave this open for another day just so people can get their noms in for the most mediocre and awful CW posters. You nerds should love this. Be honest.
