Generation Draft

[honestbharani]

yep... there is no point in allowing you to pick a player that others chose not to pick because the rules didn't allow us to.

 

[Furball]

You're all just mad because you didn't think to pick him.

If GF gets Compton then I demand Bradman.

He isn't that good that people are mad that they didn't think of picking him.

I actually even counted his matches until the end of 1950 but they came a few short of the 50% mark.

But rules must be followed.

Marc is right. Then someone in this round would pick Bradman. What do you say to that?

 

[Pothas]

This is boring now, lets just get on with it.

GF seems to have quit so let that be that, really not a matter of life and death is it?

 

[honestbharani]

nah juz wanted to ensure Compton was available for next round.. Otherwise, I am fine with us moving on with the draft.

GTFO are you.

Bill Bowes

And I'm keeping Compton, so

soI pick Bradman.

 

[honestbharani]

Of course, if sanity prevails and Compton is not allowed, I would change my above pick to Bill Ponsford.

 

[Furball]

I'd like a valid reason why a player who scored the majority of his runs isn't eligible for that era please.

 

[Prince EWS]

soI pick Bradman.

I'm going to join the draft late - to hell with the sign-up dealine rule - and pick this team:

1. Jack Hobbs
2. Len Hutton
3. Don Bradman
4. George Headley
5. Sachin Tendulkar
6. Garfield Sobers
7. Adam Gilchrist
8. Imran Khan
9. Richard Hadlee
10. Bill O'Reilly
11. Muttiah Muralitharan

Because that's not the rule. The rules are clearly outlined earlier in the thread; whether or not you agree with them isn't relevant. If you were going to bring it up you should have done it before the draft started or at least before the round started as others looked into picking him before you did.

Yep.. Bradman FTW..
