Pothas

I was thinking your asking where people were from was starting to get a little creepy, Watson, but that's actually a nice touch.

Ftr, I'm pretty sure Pothas makes himself at home at the Rose Bowl, and Durham's ground is called the Riverside.


Yeah. I live much closer to the Oval these days though. The oval certainly fits nicely with my side, some of them have greats records there.

Will put our teams into the Randomiser soon. The top 7 teams will comprise GROUP A and the bottom 7 teams will comprise GROUP B. The eventual winner of each group will contest the Grand Final.

Good luck!

Thanks for running this Watson. Been a really good draft, quite an interesting challenge and certainly better than the straight draft. I like seeing players from all eras get their due recognition.

Wonder if anyone's got any good ideas for the next draft?

I do. I asked in the thread if anyone had dibs on the next draft but no one replied. So provided nothing untoward happens I'll set up a new draft some time this week.

Indeed. Great work from Watson.

The draft ran at a very good pace and also was fun due to the constraints.

I also nave an idea for a graft, but that depends on DoG completing his ratings or just using ICC peak ratings. Just don't have the time right now to run it though.

Thanks for the thanks!

Must say I very much enjoyed running the Draft. Admittedly I got overly excited at the end with the ad hoc Scenario and stuff, but I didn't mean to cause anyone any grief. Just got carried away that's all.

To be honest though, the easy flow of Draft was due to the participants who got involved, obviously did their home work, and got stuck into things. I really didn't do much than offer the odd bit of encouragement, and send the odd PM. Four or five in total I think, which is not many considering we Drafted a hefty 168 players.

So thanks from me too!
