[NUFAN]

Thanks for the interest guys.

That's a good point NUFAN. I've thought about it. Having more than 1 auctions at the same time will make things messy. And if we limit options (e.g. 'bid for only one among these 5'), that's against free market economy imo. Do you have a solution?

One part solution could be to bring down the round time from 18 to 15 hours. That will take care of both the timezone differences and bring down the draft time from 3 to 2.5 months, provided everyone agrees.

The thing I dont get yet is how are people going to bid? Is it by posting on here (and timing your post so you"re online at the right time) or is it silent?

I would make it 2 players a round, cuts time in half..

 

[Pothas]

Sorry out the house since 6am.

Justin Langer.

I'm making a shadow XI in this for comparison at the end. Quite simply I've acted as the 12th picker for the first 6 rounds, and the 1st picker for the last 5 rounds.

Why dont you play instead?

 

[longranger]

Why dont you play instead?

Can't right? It's a full draft. Plus after I picked a player in a round, very often someone else picks him in the next round. But the team I have so far is:

1. Greenidge
2. Sehwag
3.
4.
5. Clive Lloyd
6.
7. Botham
8. Kapil Dev
9. Saqlain Mushtaq
10. Waqar Younis
11. James Anderson

Will be also interesting to see what is the best XI one can make based on the constraints of the draft i.e. if you were the only drafter, which team will you come up with. We can attempt making those XIs and discuss after the draft is over.
