Back Draft

[Red]

Are we running this off given names and surnames, or just surnames?

I'm taking Richard Hadlee this pick regardless, just wondering if that puts me at H or R?

Wasnt there a 'famous' CW post with just a 'h'

Red Hill, I feel like the opening post did a good job of mansplaining which name counts.

A little known rule though. You cant pick anyone with the same initials as your forum name, sorry. So no Hadlee and sont even think about Ryan Hinds.

Its why I didnt pick Marcus North.

Michael Holding

It's essentially go by their last name unless they're Pakistani

This bit confused me a little bit, that's all...

(So "Zulqarnain Haider" or "Billy Zulch" would be a very flexible first pick; "Aamer Malik" or "Kyle Abbott" less so).

Anyway, happy to take Hadlee.

I think Andrew was highlighting the Muslim naming practises that are in use (not that I fully understand it either).

So, it's not so much of they're a Pakistani that you revert to basing your picks on their "first name", but rather if they're a Muslim or not (I think).

Than again, when it comes to a player such as Harbhajan Singh, I'm not sure whether it'd be a H pick, or an S pick. Hopefully Andrew will be able to clarify everything. I've probably just made it more confusing, if anything.

 

[mr_mister]

Harbhajan is an H and Kapil Dev K I think. But Sachin was T. I don't know if there's a hard and fast rule

Michael timed out

Have you guys not opened stasguru and clicked on the name to check the alphabetical order?

[Michaelf7777777]

Allan Border will be my next selection please

Charter 77 so Far

Don Bradman (*)

Someone pick David Boon or SF Barnes just to panic Michael a little...

 

[Teuton]

Mr timed out, milenko has the double pick now, then back to mr

 

[ataraxia]

Shaun Pollock
Graeme Pollock

----‐----------‐------------

Viv Richards
Graeme Pollock
Shaun Pollock
Shane Warne

Really wanted Procter. We're all too selfish to take Barnes or someone.

 

[Red]

The two Pollocks with a double is pretty sweet drafting

Closest to them might be the Waughs...and farthest to them, the Headleys.

Should've taken Shaun and Peter then Graeme.

 

[Teuton]

Peter is still in play - Graeme is RG Pollock

 

[Teuton]

mr timed out again, i guess when you are still in the w's timeliness isn't a big deal. i'll pick Ricky Ponting

Everton Weekes and Steve Waugh
