Debuts & Retirements draft

[mr_mister]

there are enough godly players who debuted in '71 for all 4 of us

 

[OverratedSanity]

If it's more than 4, then I'm done.

 

[mr_mister]

it won't be more than 4 I don't think, there a lot of people still in the 30s and 50s

 

[jimmy101]

don't see where the risk is tbh

a) 1971

b) I'm bypassing a ****load of Windies greats

c) If everything doesn't go right I could end up back in 1877 in R11

[jimmy101]

Imagine me. You and jc both get the 1971 pick before me so I'm screwed. It's a fun draft but just a tad too dependant on draft order not ****ing you over.

I wonder how things would have went if I had posted all 11 round orders at the beginning

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'd have liked that. Best would've just been random orders for each round instead of snaking reverse pattern

 

[honestbharani]

Sir Clyde Walcott (1948 - 1960).


One of the Ws. 'Nuff said.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Bill Copson

 

[watson]

Gubby Allen (1930 - 1948) - bowling allrounder.

 

[AndrewB]

Well, I was heading for a half-decent team until AndyZaltzHair opted for the same route at the end ; so, making the best of a bad job:

Fred Titmus (1955-1975)

 

[watson]

Since Andrew sits at 1975, and Howe at 1960, I'll pick Everton Weekes for Round 8. Weekes takes me to 1958.


01. Andy Sandham (1921 - 1930)
02. Plum Warner (1909 -1912)
03.
04. Everton Weekes (1948 - 1958) - R8
05. Hon. Lionel Tennyson * (1913 - 1921)
06. Albert Trott (1895 - 1909)
07. Gubby Allen (1930 - 1948) - R7
08.
09. Charles Turner (1887 - 1895)
10. Tiger Smith + (1912 - 1913)
11.


Now in the hunt, even though enormously far from a winning team

 

[AndrewB]

If my 10th pick hasn't retired, does my last pick have to be a player who debuted in 1877, or in 1877-1890?

 

[mr_mister]

i would guess 1877-90 just like how we started

 

[jimmy101]

I actually think it should be 1877 myself, as does harsh.

However, if more people believe 1877 - 1889 would be fairer than please let me know. I'm easy to roll with whatever & would prefer to do what the majority of ppl want on here.

Doing the best with the tools you were given Watson. Astonishingly, you have no fewer than three former English captains in your team!

 

[OverratedSanity]

I've been doing this draft assuming it would be 1877-1899. Makes sense since that was round 1

 

[harsh.ag]

I've been doing this draft assuming it would be 1877-1899. Makes sense since that was round 1

Agreed. Think it's 77-89 though

 

[jimmy101]

Fair enough. 1877 - 1889 it is, I'm happy with that.
