Test career chain draft II

[Fuller Pilch]

Shane Watson (02 January 2005 to 11 July 2015)

That pick is guaranteed to get you a vote.

Voting thread?

Voting thread?

Not putting it up to stop you from winning.

Ok right, we have to face this inevitability eventually.

17 teams is probably too much to do one round of voting. If people agree, we can do a knockout comp. in this format:

1. Randomly select 5 teams; eliminate 1 of them.
2. Pit teams against each other in pairs (round of 16)
3. Pit winners of pairings against each other (quarter-finals)
4. Final round to choose between the last 4 teams to determine winner

 

[ataraxia]

Still require final XIs from @Magrat Garlick (organise Lindwall, Kapil, Stokes, Prior, Lloyd, Harvey, McCabe, Amiss, Hunte, Chandrasekhar, R Gilchrist) and @Jarquis.

Smith
Goddard
Macartney
Inzamam
Gower

Watling
Botham
Laker
Clark
McGrath

This plus Vengsarkar – presumably at 6, but just making sure...

Point 1 seems a bit harsh but I really dont have a better solution.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

sorry for the delay

Amiss, Hunte, McCabe, Harvey, Lloyd*, Stokes, +Prior, Kapil, Lindwall, R Gilchrist, Chandrasekhar

3 groups of 4 and 1 group of 5 will be fine in first round. Then from top 8 it can be knock out.

A wee late, some may say, but here we go. ankitj's idea sounds good. I think the least messy thing to do is to have it all in this thread.

Round 1 groups. Please vote, in a post, for two teams in each group except your own. The top two will progress.
