Grand Slam Draft Tournament

[NUFAN]

This is actually a tough decision, but ill pick the man you were going to pick.

Fred Trueman

To clarify is going pick by pick unfair.

Hopefully it wont skew the results much. Since the other person has control over the player pool available they can try to make sure the first pick isn't too powerful.

Still one slot available if anyone out there wants to make a late entry.

Hedley Verity

 

[Magrat Garlick]

vs Brumby: one-team men, cricketers who have played international cricket while representing only one domestic team at first-class level

For these purposes, I'll be counting teams that compete in regular first-class (or equivalent for shorter-form cricket) competitions. So minor counties, universities, and Gentlemen/Players are out, but the Pakistani company teams and regional teams count as two, as does the zonal teams and state teams in India.

Happy to delay the start a bit due to any festivities in France

[honestbharani]

AndrewB can set the parameters for our game

 

[jimmy101]

I'll take first pick vs Jimmy. I won't make any picks tonight.

Parameters for Milenko v Jimmy: Test players with 'Mc' or 'Mac' in their names.

 

[ankitj]

Ankitj vs Teuton:
Cricketers named William
Must have a first, middle or last name of, containing, or a direct translation of 'William'.

Oh well I surrendered my toss advantage.

I'll start with William Gilbert Grace.

 

[AndrewB]

v honestbharani : Players whose Test careers were interrupted by a World War. So they must have played at least one Test both before and after one of the World Wars.

No Bradman.

 

[Teuton]

Bill O'Reilly

 

[honestbharani]

v honestbharani : Players whose Test careers were interrupted by a World War. So they must have played at least one Test both before and after one of the World Wars.

No Bradman.

Well then, can pick the Black Bradman though..


George Headley

 

[ankitj]

Kane Williamson

 

[Teuton]

Dale Willem Steyn

 

[honestbharani]

Lol.. Ankit, did you not figure out Teuton would have had someone in mind when he said William (or a word that means that) as first middle or last name ?
