Decade draft

AndrewB

International Vice-Captain
Very simple idea: you can only pick people whose entire Test career was within a single calendar decade. By a calendar decade, I mean (for example) "the 1950s", covering all dates from 1 Jan 1950 to 31 Dec 1959. So the years of the player's first and last Tests must both start with the same 3 digits.

For example: Ghulam Guard - who played 2 Tests for India: one in 1958, the other in 1960 - would not be eligible, as he played in the 1950s and the 1960s, even though his career lasted for well under a decade.

Anyone who didn't play Tests is ineligible. Bradman (1920s, 1930s and 1940s) is obviously ineligible.

(Picking order will be the usual random order for each of 11 rounds, even rounds order being the reverse of the previous round, 8 hours per pick etc.).

Yes.
