What I mean was, you can decide the cut offs, and they don't have to be actual decades so like you did we can have 1877-99 as one 'decade', etc And you can make 11 of these time ranges and after that we can all decide which one to go for when picking in our own strategic order.

alright, how about we make it random for the freedom, but constrict it down to 11 eras for difficulty.

1877-1899
1900-1919(though nobody would pick 1910s anyway)
and 2000-present


20s through to 90s are all just done by decades.

Brilliant. Luckily for us the 40's produced an absolute plethora of ATG talent with enough to go around.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

In, I lost count is there still room

 

[mr_mister]

Don't think it's a coincidence when you consider this is based on debuts. The generation who should have debuted in 1939-45 pretty much all started playing in 1946-48 instead.

Can't say the same for the 1910s. Players who should have made their debut during the war years generally had to wait until the 1920s, or just never played.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Room for one more?

 

[J_C]

In.

[mr_mister]

Let's begin.

So just to clarify for everyone, there are 11 time ranges now and you must pick one player who made their test debut in each of these 11 time ranges to make your test team.



1877-1899
1900-1919
1920-1929
1930-1939
1940-1949
1950-1959
1960-1969
1970-1979
1980-1989
1990-1999
2000-present



Round 1 everyone gets 16 hours to pick to compensate for people not knowing when this was gonna start but from Round 2 onwards it's only 8 hours per pick.


And of course, No Bradman


Round 1 order:

J_C
Saint Kopite
mr_mister
AldoRaine18
Red Hill
OverratedSanity
schearzie
AndrewB
Howe_Zat
watson
jimmy101
