The Best of Each Decade Birthday DRAFT

[chasingthedon]

In, if I'm not too late

 

[watson]

Once he is around Monk is generally a safe bet to participate.

I think that you're right kyear2, so I'll include Monk and PM him.

We have a good crowd of 14 so far;

You're up Camo999

 

[Saint Kopite]

Whats the time limit for a pick, mate?

 

[morgieb]

Whats the time limit for a pick, mate?

12 hours.

 

[watson]

Traditionally kyear and I feature down the bottom of the list in Round 1 - so welcome, Saint Kopite. You will get the so-called 'Double Pick' though which is some compensation.

Also, nice to have Fred and Chasingthedon competing against eachother. It will be interesting to see which players they pick.

 

[chasingthedon]

Great, I get to pick ahead of Martin. When was Larwood born?

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Yuss was hoping to be in the first three

 

[Camo999]

Jack Hobbs (1880s)

 

[watson]

Jack Hobbs (1880s)

Excellent first choice Camo!

 

[watson]

Great, I get to pick ahead of Martin. When was Larwood born?

Yes, but if you pick Larwood then you won't be able to pick Jardine

This draft is going to be more tricky than I first thought because you automatically exclude more than a dozen ATGs available to you from the corresponding decade every time you make a pick. Plus some decades seem to have smaller pools of ATGs than others.

 

[kyear2]

One of these days I will get a good first round pick. One of these days.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Tempted to be different, but nah. Sir Garfield Sobers

 

[Red]

Can I still jump onboard? Sorry, been camping a few nights.

Edit- Oops, see I'm in. Thanks watson.

And it's my go!

Gimme 5.

 

[Red]

I'll go against the trend of picking quicks straight up.

Len Hutton - born 1916.

[AldoRaine18]

SYDNEY BARNES​

Born : 1873

[fredfertang]

So how long has Dave got before I can jump in?

Praps I'll give him another 5 minutes, just to appear reasonable

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Why do I get the feeling that this is going to be extremely competitive

 

[watson]

Love the photo of Barnes. Looking at his grip on the ball, I'd say he's lining up an off-break;
