the having to lose to win draft

[The Battlers Prince]

This should make interesting sides that I think will miss the idea.
I hope to lose to prove the point

Is there a rule that you have to play cricketers at sensible positions? Otherwise I'd play Courtney Walsh and Chris Martin as opening batsmen.

That's a decent point, although you'd probably finish below sixth.. Yeah, I hope/want people to play within the spirit of the game. Obviously if you think you have the best team after 10 rounds, you might make a slightly odd selection as your 11th pick but I want each team to finish with 2 guys who can open, some middle order bats, a keeper, a few quicks etc, not like 10 Darren Gough's.

How about 9 Darren Goughs? Throw me a bone.

This sounds like a great idea, and I always love a draft. Count me in.

You going for 11 drafters? So the most average team wins?

[Camo999]

Yeah I'll have a go.

 

[morgieb]

In. Love the concept.

 

[honestbharani]

This is a win-win for me.. I usually end up picking middle of the road sides anyways in drafts.. And if by chance I do better here, I will still be first in the draft even if I don't actually win it, if I get the rules right... So ​in.

Given I'll be trying to pick the sixth best team, my team's name will be South Australia

 

[Howe_zat]

Being English I am not prepared to lose to win and as such I will stay out

 

[harsh.ag]

Should be called Baazigar Draft

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

I'll have all my sixth sense working for this

i think don bradman + 10 no name kenyans is the perfect recipe here

How many of you ever watched Cullinan? He was a better Mark Waugh than Mark Waugh was.

 

[mr_mister]

probably all of us did

 

[dogwalker]

Doubt it.

Cullinan was a fine fine player. His cuts and pulls were remarkable.
