    Draft suggestion: Never met

    Yeah, I think it’d be fairer to switch to the usual “no Bradman” rule... otherwise I’ve just launched a draft and put myself in prime position to pick him... OK - to clarify, you can pick anyone you like except Bradman, as long as their life doesn’t overlap with your previous pick. They don’t...

    A history of fast bowling

    There haven't been that many left-arm pace bowlers with 100+ wickets from anywhere - Statsguru lists 15 (plus Sobers and Bill Johnston as "mixture" - I think Johnston bowled mostly pace at Test level). Similarly noticeable is the lack of Australia SLA bowlers - I noted here a couple of years...

    Draft suggestion: Never met

    I was thinking that Bradman could be picked in later rounds, as this forces you to pick two players who died before 1908, which is quite restrictive. But if people think we should stick to the usual "no Bradman" I'm happy to go with that.

    Draft suggestion: Never met

    We've had a draft where no-one could pick two people who played in the same Test. If you mean becomes unavailable for everyone, you'd have ruled out anyone with any sort of Test career by round 2.

    Draft suggestion: Never met

    Fairly simple draft idea - usual rules apply, plus: - In each round after the first, your pick must either have died before your previous pick was born, or have been born after your previous pick died (and so the two players can never have met). Your first pick can be anyone (other than Bradman).

    Draft - your selection must have a batting average close to the previous player's selection

    @ataraxia: If you're going to claim CB Fry (0 Test wickets, 166@29 in FC) as a bowler, you might as well claim Len Hutton (3 Test wickets, 173@29 in FC), especially as Fry was no-balled for throwing.

    My final XI: Jack Hobbs Victor Trumper Trevor Goddard Frank Worrell* Martin Crowe Doug Walters Tony Greig Denis Lindsay+ Alan Davidson Johnny Wardle Glenn McGrath Bats ridiculously deep (for reasons beyond my control...), but there's certainly variety in the bowling (McGrath RFM, Davidson LFM...
