An Orderly Test Draft

[Line and Length]

This is the moment I've been waiting for. With first pick in Round 5, I'm going for my all-rounder - Sir Garfield Sobers

@ataraxia

@honestbharani still has a Round 4 replacement pick.

What happens with the whole Walcott situation?

What happens with the whole Walcott situation?

CricAddict has taken him and has him at #3. With honestbharani needing a replacement. He can take that at anytime.

Meanwhile, we are in Rounds5&6 selecting #5 batsman and an all-rounder (in any order). Hopefully (from hb's perspective) Round 5 selections don't eat into his replacement options

 

[honestbharani]

That sucks.

Sorry about that, but I can't bend/change the rules mid-draft.

No worries mate. Its not anyone's fault. I usually cant research much on weekdays for drafts. I only play for the fun of it. I have no excel sheets or anything and I often miss earlier picks coz sometimes I am not on the latest list etc. I just said it sucks coz well, it does. I wanted to have two back up keepers as my 3 and 4.

Thanks. Like you, I don't have excel sheets - just scribbled lists on scraps of paper. This probably explains by dismal record in drafts. I enjoy participating and, with time on my hands, running a draft. Interacting with like-minded CW members like yourself is an added bonus. Cheers mate.

Amateurs. I have an app that calls a very rich database, numerous spreadsheets, GitHub projects, and teams of people working on it around the clock.

People just like to kill me.

I reckon if you changed your avvie from evil to good you might have a better mafia record.

Middle order needs a little pizzazz so I'll take AB De Villiers

When making your Round 5 & 6 selections, could you nominate if your selection is either for a #5 specialist or an all-rounder. I ask this because players such as Miller would qualify as a #5 where they batted the majority of times.

note: If you nominate your all rounder selection to bat at #5 you would then need a specialist #6 OR a second all rounder to bat at #6. Interestingly, a player such as S.Waugh qualifies as a #5, a #6 and an all-rounder.
