Scorecard Draft

[Himannv]

What the heck??? LOL!!!

Quite a few decent options left all over. So is it Micheal with the multiple 7's next?

 

[Shri]

Defeats the purpose of the round system if everyone is going to wait for suitable scorecards. Its okay in unavoidable circumstances. Imo.

 

[Jarquis]

Yeah it's bull****. kingkallis is supposedly busy with clients. So fair enough. Riggins. Pick.

 

[Riggins]

Wasn't really serious just annoyed, hardly unavoidable circumstances. Be back shortly with pick.

 

[Himannv]

Yeah, I guess Shri has a point. Umm, so what happens now?

 

[Noble One]

This is BS if people are going to wait until an appropriate scorecard. The point of this draft is dealing with the circumstances presented, pick a player (good or bad) and move on, nobody should be allowed to pick and choose when to play.

Edit: Sorry Riggins, I see you are going to pick now. No harm done.

 

[Shri]

Wasn't really serious just annoyed, hardly unavoidable circumstances. Be back shortly with pick.

Didn't mean to come across as authoritative, no offence meant.

Archie Jackson

Wow Riggins! That's an excellent choice there. Came off you as a pleasant surprise. Curious as to whether you selected this guy just coincidentally, or knew about him from beforehand.

We have a few die-hard Jackson fans here in CW. I, too, would've surely chosen Jackson had I been in kingkallis' place (in spite of not having a bowler in my lineup, still). As someone in this thread has already said, it's about how creative you can be with your picks. The luckiest one is likely to end up with the best lineup, anyway.

 

[Himannv]

Joe, did we decide to stick to the rule of players playing at least 10 games? Archie Jackson has just 8, although personally I think its a fantastic pick.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Ah, you're right. We did agree to that rule. Got to pick again, Riggins.

 

[weldone]

ha ha, Bradman coming at no. 6 in the above-mentioned scorecard. It was his 3rd test.

 

[weldone]

Ah, you're right. We did agree to that rule. Got to pick again, Riggins.

Oh no! Once heard the saying that rules are made by men, only men can change them...

 

[Himannv]

I've been in mourning over the loss of Barry Richards from the begining of the draft, so that unfortunate rule has been stuck in my head.

 

[Riggins]

I'll take this macartney hack. Sick of looking at scorecards.

1st Test: England v Australia at Nottingham, Jun 12-15, 1926 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Couldn't take about my first 8 choices, sick of this diabolical game. At least kingkallis's team can now be discarded and there can be a fair discussion because bradman wont be in the mix.

 

[Jarquis]

Why's his team being discarded?

Edit : lolol Kingkallis viewing the thread. Let's see if it's convenient for him to make his pick now.

 

[Jamee999]

What an odd scorecard. Why would you arrange a 3-day test with a rest after day one? :S

 

[kingkallis]

Why's his team being discarded?

Edit : lolol Kingkallis viewing the thread. Let's see if it's convenient for him to make his pick now.

I am back to take a look!

Actually I own a small IT unit so my system remains on whether I am on my desk or not and CW usually remains online in my browser...

 

[Himannv]

Yet another fantastic pick. The Govener General.
