Continent draft

[AndrewB]

Simple draft proposal: Your team (picked for a FC match) must contain at least* 2 players from each continent (Africa, America, Asia, Australasia, Europe); where the continent a player is "from" is determined by the team they played for (or would have played for.

No Bradman, as usual.

*so, 3 players from one continent, 2 from each of the others.

In. Could potentially split America into two and stipulate 1 player from South America (i.e. Guyana) as well.

Yeah, I wondered about that - though it's not obvious which of the West Indies would count as North America... Trinidad is literally closer to Venezuela than it is to Tobago, for instance.

So are Saffas from the 70s and 80s who didn't play tests counted as Europe because they probably would've played for England?

I think it means they count for SA, as they would had played for SA had they had Test status.

Yeah it was a joke (probably not a very good one)
