No-one else is really affected by the change in db, it's not fair on everyone else to re-do round 1 because Spark made a pick that he isn't 100% happy with.
Not true at all. Having never been to cricsim, or seen the software used to simulate games, I don't have any inside information. The only information I have that I used to make the pick is the information I posted. I don't have either database yet and have no specifics as to how it was worked out.

In fact the only way I made the original list was by going to the draft thread on CricSim that Marcuss gave me and manually entering the names into a spreadsheet. Didn't take as long as I expected though.

Again, since you're against it I'll revert the pick in the old thread now, but as a few people seem to want a restart I thought it only fair that I make a poll.
