I take that back - pick somebody from the round you missed:
C: Batsman, SA, 50s
E: Batman, NZ, 2000s
G: Batsman, England, 1900s
K: Allrounder, New Zealand, 2000s
M: Wicketkeeper, Pakistan , 2010s
O: Bowler, England, 1990s
R: Bowler, England, 1890s
Have slotted you back into the draft, my apologies mate. It's your choice as to whether I can randomly assign you somebody from the round you missed, or in this round you can pick once in your normal spot and once at the end too?
Alternate longevity calculation with no credit given for years with 0 Tests posted in the standardised averages thread (as a Google Doc). Would link it here but CW won't let me leave a link in a VM (groan).
It nerfs Cowie, Headley, Nourse, Martindale, various others, but not to the extent where they aren't near the top of the list. Not bad.
Philosophically I don't like not counting those years at all but it does seem to give results more in line with what we'd think intuitively.
