Sheep Draft version 4.0

[watson]

A challenge for everyone this week is to use "ergo" in conversation daily.

Only if you're a middle-aged person having a mid-life crisis.

 

[Howe_zat]

Question 1 doesn't specify that the selected players has to have played Tests, just that their brother has. So a good sheep would be Billy Root or Gemma Broad.

 

[Coronis]

stop stealing my sheep suggestions, bud

But who's suggestion was it first?

 

[NUFAN]

I'm going to give Pothas a little bit longer, until lunch in the cricket, but in the meantime questions 3,4 and 5 for people to have a think about.

Question 3.1 Select a cricketer who has had 15 or more not outs in their test career

Question 4.1 Select a cricketer who played for any of the sub-continental countries (Bang, Ind, Pak, SL) and retired before 01/01/2000.

Question 5.1 Select a cricketer who’s surname starts with A E I O or U – The Cricketer must have played for either Aus, Eng, NZ, SA, WI, Zim.

Just remember if the same player gets picked in 3.1 and 5.1, the person in 3.1 gets him. sheepdraft@gmail.com is my email address, ergo email me.

 

[Howe_zat]

Did you exclude Asian sides from Q5 just to stop the argument over what a surname is? 'Cause I would have done.

 

[Coronis]

So are we able to submit now?

 

[NUFAN]

Did you exclude Asian sides from Q3 just to stop the argument over what a surname is? 'Cause I would have done.

I sure did (Q4). I just knew it would get confusing and I didn't want people debating whether Inzaman for instance has a surname which starts with I, U or H.

BTW Howe, ewe win the most entertaining email subject award. Coronis submit if you like.

Banned Players (so you are unable to select them either)
Richie Benaud, Greg Chappell, Colin Croft, Martin Crowe, Richard Hadlee, Neil Harvey, Jim Laker, Bill O'Reilly, Peter Pollock, Robin Smith, Garry Sobers.

I've decided to not put Warne or Bedser in the banned list as they didn't fit within the criteria.

 

[morgieb]

Warne did meet the criteria - has 36 ducks.

EDIT: Turns out I lost my ability to read while researching. Nvm.

 

[morgieb]

Was the original guy I picked picked?

EDIT: Other people chose him anyway.

 

[Coronis]

Could've sworn I picked Pollock.... really need to cut down on the drugs.

 

[NUFAN]

Was the original guy I picked picked?

Yep Bob Willis was picked too.

Hope you and Justo do better this round, tough to come back from 2 sheeps to start things, but surely it can be done with some luck.

The new questions again are:
Question 3.1 Select a cricketer who has had 15 or more not outs in their test career
Question 4.1 Select a cricketer who played for any of the sub-continental countries (Bang, Ind, Pak, SL) and retired before 01/01/2000.
Question 5.1 Select a cricketer who’s surname starts with A E I O or U – The Cricketer must have played for either Aus, Eng, NZ, SA, WI, Zim.

Y'have 24 hours from now to get your picks in.

 

[NUFAN]

Could've sworn I picked Pollock.... really need to cut down on the drugs.

I was wondering why you said that earlier. Did you recheck your email?

 

[Spikey]

awarded the very sheep i suggested. how ironic

 

[NUFAN]

You named so many names it just worked out that way. Happened with Morgie too in one of the rounds.

I used this generator thing and them the breaks, you did quite well with Mortaza IMO, all things considered.

 

[Coronis]

Yep. Must've been on the fence with Pollock and Flower.

i would have killed for Shahid Afridi, Greg Blewett or Franklin tbh

 

[morgieb]

Was me getting Grace intentional?

 

[Howe_zat]

No Gemma Broad is disappointing

 

[morgieb]

Decided to go out of the box this time around. Hopefully it works.

Don't go for big names here is the moral of the story.
