ODI World Cup Draft

[Silver Silva]

When do we start ? @Bitmap

 

[Bitmap]

Thinking of starting this in a couple of days

Just a question, why the 5 ODI criteria?? In Test drafts, the criteria is only of 1 in general.

I think it's 5/10 in majority of the ODI drafts here I've participated in basically to eliminate picking the likes of Sobers/Rice etc. who have promising List A records but just not enough ODIs. A bit more restriction in picking the early ODI era players.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about. If we can pick Barry Richards in Test drafts, why not Clive Rice in ODIs?? They played around equal matches....

Yeah I get your sentiment but Barry playing 4 tests and having success in FC cricket almost instinctively feels different to Clive Rice playing 3 ODIs and having a pretty good List A career due to difference in the nature of the two formats. Although I'm more than happy to remove the 5 ODI limitation if others are fine with it!
