Diminishing Draft

[ataraxia]

Hi all, a reminder that you have to bat players taken on diminishing runs from 1-7 and players taken on diminishing wickets from 7-11 only.

I had a player in mind whom I wanted to take on wickets but play in top order, but then got reminded of this rule and hence, won't be able to take him.

@Line and Length here's the rule (no)

@Line and Length here's the rule (no)

I don't think that ruling applies literally otherwise we would have been selecting 2 openers then a #3, a # 4 etc down to the #7. Similarly bowlers would be occupying 8-11 in order taken meaning Andeson would be batting at #8 if Warne or Murali hadn't been selected. I'll wait for @CricAddict 's final ruling and can always revert Flintoff to a bowling selection if the adjudication is "no".

in order isn't the rule, read it again with a different interpretation

Hi L&L, what ataraxia said is right. Within the 7 batsmen that you select, you can place them at any positions from 1-7 and within 5 bowlers that you select, you can place them anywhere from 7-11. So, if you are choosing Flintoff to a bowling selection, then you can place him anywhere below Botham but otherwise, you can't. Hope this clarifies.

Douglas Jardine to bat at 5 and captain my team. C'mon Don Bradman.

Please confirm if you are taking Flintoff on batting or bowling.

Thanks for the ruling. I thought that was the case. I'll stick with Flintoff as a batsman (though Beefy might be p*ssed at having to bat after Freddy).

Round 11 will start at 8 AM GMT (1:30 PM IST, 5 PM JST, 8:30 PM NZDT) post the day that Round 10 gets over.

It will be fastest fingers first. Hence, whoever gets their post first will get the player in case of a clash.

Drafters are requested to post their full team along with a small write-up if possible once the 11th player pick is done.

I'll take Andrew Flintoff as a batsman (3845 runs).

Question: When naming my final batting order, am I allowed to move a selected batsman (like Flintoff) below a selected bowler (like Botham)?

No. Batsmen have to be 1- 6 or 7, and bowlers are 7 or 8 - 11 . It's the way to keep people from bending the intention of the restriction with their picks.
