    Draft idea - bid for position

    OK, having checked them there are a few issues with the bids received so far: trundler: you only gave 10 bids - please re-submit. honestbharani: your bids only add up to 999000 (which I guess is fine but you might want to add in $1000 to one of them). JOJOXI: your bids are valid, but it looks...

    If ODI cricket was changed to 60 overs an innings again

    The 60-over matches I think were only the first 3 World Cups.

    No particular hurry - certainly not for people who've said they want to take part.

    What made the mid-1980s Indian ODI team so good?

    Before the '83 final West Indies had 15 wins and 1 loss in World Cups, which hardly suggests that anyone could beat them on the right day. A couple of the wins in 1975 were close, but the 10 wins in 1979/1983 were all pretty comfortable. Australia were obviously dominant in 2003 and 07, but not...

    Draft idea - bid for position

    Yes, Bradman is eligible. Each player submits their list of 11 bids, which must all be whole, positive numbers of dollars (so $1 is the minimum bid), summing to $1,000,000. (You might as well put your bids in descending order, as I'll sort them that way anyway). Please submit your bids by...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Botham took 16 wickets @19 in the 1992 WC (joint second most behind Akram), with an economy rate of 3.43 (5th best among bowlers who played in more than one match). Would not be an outrageous pick for a team of the World Cup just based on his bowling. It was a tournament of two halves for him...

    Draft idea - bid for position

    Person who's gone longest without a pick picks next. E.g. if we change the set up in the original post to: X bids (799,997; 200,000; 1; 1; 1) Y bids (599,997; 200,000; 200,000; 2; 1) Z bids (200,000; 200,000; 200,000; 200,000; 200,000) Then the order of picks would be: X (799,997) Y (599.997)...

    How G is an ATG?

    ATG was used in the Usenet cricket newsgroups back when I read those.

    How G is an ATG?

    I expect this has been discussed/decided before, but searching the forum for "ATG" doesn't work... When people refer to someone as an ATG, what level does this mean? So, for example, if you say "X is an ATG Test opener", does that mean you think X is in the all-time top... 5/10/20/50 Test openers?

    Draft idea - bid for position

    The idea here would be: - Everyone taking part has $1,000,000 to bid with - You then use this to bid (in a silent auction - i.e. bids are e-mailed to me) for your positions in the draft. Just to illustrate, suppose we have 3 players (X, Y and Z) bidding for a 5-man team X is desperate to get...

    ODI Debut Chronology draft

    I thought I'd check (on Statsguru) the decade 2000-9 to see how Kallis ranks then: just considering at top-7 batsmen with 50+ innings. Of the 84 batsmen who qualify, Kallis (73.64) is 59th, a few places below Ganguly (75.37) and Sangakkara (74.63), a few above Chanderpaul (72.97). McKenzie...
