Reverse Alphabetic Draft

Teuton

Teuton

International Captain
Normally i am more conservative but this time i decided to go for it. And i am having a bit of an enforced holiday from picking right now to let you all catch up

Of course the hard part is working out when to be conservative or not.

O'Reilly kinda fell into my team without having to reach since the best P's were gone.

Laker feels like a big mistake from me. Too many great names falling before my next turn.

Hutton vs Hobbs was a big dilemma in this draft. One has a slight edge reputation-wise, the other one has a slight edge alphabet-wise.

I faced a similar dilemma for the first pick too - Wasim vs Warne

That's why I feel like I blundered with Laker. Being at the wrong end of the Ls has seen a number of players I really want disappear.

In general you can never pick top players from 2 consecutive letters. If you take Laker, forget about Kallis or Kohli or even Imran given K and I are not rich with players.
