Wondering here we should standardise the debut date formats seen above - I personally find full dates (1 Jan 1898, etc.) easier to read than the hyphenated versions.

I think year-month-day is the easiest way to see quickly which thing comes first, but I agree that the way you've set it out there is the easiest to read.

 

[ankitj]

Yeah, I find it much easier to scan visually and compare dates in YYYY-MM-DD format.

[weeman27bob]

I got very confused when I looked at this thread just now because it looked like Trundler and AndrewB had both made two picks both with very early debut dates.

So I thought I'd misunderstood the draft and there was no round structure just whoever had the earliest debut as their last pick was the next to pick, and that meant I was going to be crowded out forever.

Uh....

 

[Pothas]

Len Hutton (1937-06-26)

 

[weeman27bob]

Uh....

Uh oh...

 

[Pothas]

Haha you will be fine. Am sure other people would have gone for Sobers if they could. We are moving pretty quickly forward as well.

@ataraxia > mr

 

[trundler]

Hutton was a massive oversight on my part but I only had 2 minutes to make my pick.
