just re-posting this on page 3 of the thread so it gets seen. gimme some feedback

how about this crackpot idea

*at the end of round 1, add one more group of 4 more guys(macartney, barlow, the 2 most unfortunate runner-ups in round 1)
* from 36 it'l go down to 18, then 9.
*from 9 we split it up into three triple threats, and the winner of each verses in one last triple threat in the final

This will make the competition one round shorter btw

I like this

 

[cnerd123]

McCartney, Barlow, Jadeja + one more player who missed out IMO.

 

[mr_mister]

Jadeja is in already and getting beaten by cairns

Ignore the haters man. You took the initiative to run this. You put the effort of starting up a nomms thread, trying to get people to contribute, and you're tallying all the votes and generating the pairings.

In the end we know Sobers will win. This is just a fun mental exercise to compare players whom we may never have compared before, and to learn more about cricketers we may not have noticed before.

If people have such a big problem with it they can go and run their own next time. You're doing a good job. Keep it up!

Also sidesteps the pacers vs spinners debate

 

[cnerd123]

Jadeja is in already and getting beaten by cairns

O right. Who did he replace? Add whoever that is back in lol.

 

[mr_mister]

so ***** youre basically saying you dont think we should give the players second chances? i'm cool with that, i'm sure we could think of 4 people who just missed out and could have conceivably made round 2. but yeah i guess see what people think. atm if we do it the other way i imagine it'd be the loser of faulkner/kallis and mankad/hadlee but i havent counted any votes yet

 

[mr_mister]

ya boy duminy!

 

[cnerd123]

w00t.

Yea no second chances. **** the unlucky ****s.

EDIT: But do wait for everyone to voice their opinions before doing anything!

Keep as they are -

 

[AndrewB]

, we dont knock points off Sobers because he played before ODIs were around.

Well, not entirely; but it's probably fair to say he'd have done better in them given a few more chances.

 

[watson]

Everything is just fine MM. No need to obfuscate.

 

[Red]

But that would've been compensated for by him being an over-rated odi batsman....

You consider him an overrated ODI batsman?
