Diminishing Draft

[CricAddict]

@ankitj for the first pick.

All are open rounds. So, you are free to pick a batsman/bowler based on who you think will get exhausted first. You need to pick 6 batsmen in diminishing order of runs and 4 bowlers in diminishing order of wickets. For the 11th player, you are free to choose either a batsman at lower runs or bowler at lower wickets than your previous pick to form your final team. Keeper to be chosen within the batsmen criteria.

Hmm. Would have liked to be 2nd or 3rd in first round. Now so much pressure!

Is Bradman allowed?

No. Bradman is excluded. I actually wanted to include at first but general consensus indicates that a Bradman team will be all-powerful.

Hence, no Bradman for this draft.

Ok I'll go with Richard Hadlee

Slightly surprising pick but smart imo.

Angry reaction from @ataraxia is reassuring.

If I choose an all-rounder with my 11th pick, can I choose which criteria suit me? I.e. if I choose a bowling allrounder with more wickets than my 4th bowler based on him having less runs than my 6th batsman? Or vice versa a batting allrounder with more runs than my 6th batsman, based on him having less wickets than my 4th bowler?

Someone's going to pick Hammond at 8 again

That's one way to get around it. But yes, as of now, I couldn't think of a solution to it.

So, you can do both of the all-rounder picks that you have mentioned.
