For what its worth I'm happy with either way but would argue that the system L&L mentions is probably fairer - although do think the advantage of being 1st after first couple rounds is minimised to some extent, having said that not much consolation for Hb especially, amongst others, with unfavourable draws in early rounds, the even numbered rounds try to even things up but arguably not enough in the early rounds.

As Teuton hinted at, I've probably done this method 10+ times without complaint.The big thing for me is as he said hardly anyone competes for the same player in the final round of a draft normally.
Using that new drafting order method from the batting average draft we just had your 11th pick is far more important though
If others prefer L & Ls method though I'm happy to change. I appreciate the thought put into it

It was just a suggestion and one that I introduced in other drafts. Quite happy to go along with your original plan (for selfish reasons mentioned earlier).

I do not see any serious advantage I received in those earlier rounds so the FREE R11is better.

Yeah but Hadlee was only the 10th pick which really surprised me. I picked Flower and I had the 12th. Murali went 2nd after Kallis.

I'll complete Round 10 (and my 8 decades) with Ian Bishop (WI, 1980s). So a free-for-all it is ... starting 24 hours from now.

24 hours from when I posted the final Round 10 pick. Kanhai would be in a number of players' sights so I think you should wait.

I need someone from Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe or Bangladesh to complete my 8 nations. Ideally it would be a a lower order batsman who could offer a bit of bowling support. Both Angelo Mathews and Asanka Gurusinha fit the bill but I think Angelo might be better suited at # 6. His bowling average isn't particularly good but he has a reasonable economy rate (2.7) and can swing the ball.
Angelo Mathews (SL, 2000s) it is.
