Debuts & Retirements draft

[J_C]

So much for a tactical time-out I'd pick Frank Laver (1899-1909).

Red Hill with a tactical time out of his own.

Grumpy, you have the floor.

cmon people

The tactical timeouts here are really really ****ty. Stop it. I propose a timeout means you still only get one pick next round instead of a double pick. You can catch up after the 11 rounds have finished.

 

[mr_mister]

are people actually doing that? i'd put it down to laziness

NOt everyone takes this THAT seriously, OS... Speaking for myself, I am just picking the best available player from R1 and seeing where it takes me. I have not mapped out golden, diamond and bronze lines mapping out the next 7 or 8 rounds and picks And I am guessing there maybe a few who are picking like that and hence prioritizing other stuff over this draft thus delaying the rounds. I would seriously seriously be surprised if every person holding up is doing it for tactical reasons.

 

[mr_mister]

i dont even have to worry about being stingy with my mapping i'll be in the 50s by round 3 and i dont think anyone else could reach there til at least round 5.

i just have to toss up whether the GOAT choice is worth sacrificing 20 years of cricketers for

Yeah! Infraction points for 3 consecutive strategic time outs imo

Frank Woolley (1909 - 1934)

Interesting couple of picks coming up. It's going to be Andy vs Howe in the battle of 1912!
