Draft ideas/scheduling thread

That sounds good (the T20 idea).

This is an idea for an ODI draft which I could run in late July/August:

ODI 130/5-fer draft limit:

Very simple rules
No one in your team can have a top score of more than 130 in an ODI.
Your wicketkeeper cannot have scored an ODI 100.
No one can have taken a 6-fer, 7-fer, or 8-fer (Chaminda Vaas) in an ODI.

I've also had another idea:

The Jimmy 5/6 Draft

Very simple idea.
All 11 players picked must have played in at least 1 test with or against James Anderson.

5 or 6 of the players must've played for England, and 5 or 6 must've played against England.

James Anderson can't be picked.

Which draft would you prefer (ODI one or Jimmy one)?

I think the Jimmy one will do better without this English limit, like the Bradman Connection Draft recently run by L&L. Just my opinion though, will play either way.

I’d go in either. Don’t see the point of making Jimmy ineligible though.

I had a great idea for a draft. Just had it a bit too late and now it won't be relevant for another 4 years...

Stupid draft ideas V3: you must pick one player from each of 11 countries (doesn't need to be a test-playing nation). Once you pick a player from that country, others must also pick from that country. (Details uncertain.)
