Cricket Budget Draft

[Jarquis]

Permitted. It was my intention initially that non-Test players would be picked but I realised I didn't make it express and so didn't want to be the first to pick one myself.

 

[Spikey]

game changer

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Could be maybe have a limit on the number of non-test players? Because 3-4 non test players would be a bit OTT.

 

[Jarquis]

Doubt you'd win the draft with that many tbf

 

[ohnoitsyou]

True

 

[watson]

I'll take Clive Rice (0 Tests, 0 Runs, 0 Wickets) for my next selection please

Charter 77 So Far

WG Grace
Clive Rice (*)
Les Ames (+)
Frederick Spofforth
Charlie Turner

I really thought that Clive Rice as a non-Test player would last to at least Round 7 or 8. I was going to pick him then.

Obviously I guessed wrong, so well played Michaelmanysevens

(Still very happy with Arthur Morris though, a relative bargain at only 46 Tests)


SMALI
MONK
MARCUSS

 

[Red]

Always good being after Smali in a draft….

 

[ankitj]

I have a long flight you catch tonight. Hope my turn doesn't come then

Assuming that Smali doesn't post during the next 3-4 hours and that Monk sleeps at night then we are looking at least another 12 hours till Marcuss' turn. Monk will of course need to pick before 10 am Melbourne time because it is unlikely that Marcus's will be around much past 11 pm UK time. Point being antitj that the time zones make drafting a dogs breakfast, so I wouldn't worry if I were you.

Of course, if Smali has access to 3 or 4G and can be arsed, then that would speed the whole process up because it's currently the middle of the afternoon on the subcontinent.

If you feel the need to calm down, just take a deep breath and hold it for, say, 20 minutes.

Pujara was taken by Cabinet in Round 2.

I am calm as I know how drafting works. You on the other hand sound irritated.

 

[smash84]

lol....sorry folks.....my internet is really bad today...I can make my one ****ty pick now

 

[smash84]

or one of a lot of other ****ty picks

 

[smash84]

My internet connection is really bad today and I can't go back and check.

My wicket keeper would be Jack Russell. I am not sure if he has been selected earlier or not.

If he has been selected then Nayan Mongia to be my wicketkeeper (I know Mongia has not been selected)

 

[smash84]

so now where are all the people?

 

[sledger]

Please can someone VM me when the next draft in CC starts? I want to spend as long as possible making my picks, because I think Watson would like that.

 

[Red]

Time to break this budget and make things interesting for myself….
