Mystery Draft (ODI XI and Test XI, 79-09)

Yeah from Athlai's message:
Basically all you have to do is make sure they debuted in 79 or after (I miss Imran ) and that you pick 3 of your nation, 1 from each top 7 and 1 from a minnow.
So Viv doesn't count.

Hmm, at least England has all of three decent ODI players, so I should be able to get at least a couple of them.

And the rest of you can fight over Ian Bell and Phil Tufnell

First eight picks itbt. The only thing Kiwis are good for are filling the gaps.
One way of looking at it...on the other hand you'd best hope that everyone else doesn't pick their New Zealanders before then or you'll get the 8th-10th best New Zealand players of the time period...theres a certain New Zealand batsman from the 80s and a recent bowler who I'd be keen to get if I had New Zealand as my base team...

Reckon it should be played at least once post 79, (1 Jan 1979 pres) rather than debuted.
Decided to bite the bullet and only do debuts to try keep few of the more obvious superstars out and make the competition a bit harder.

Got six players that might play both forms and a extra in either form. Not worried about the Kiwis. As if I don't get Crowe and Bond I'll back myself to get better non Kiwis as everyone else will be going to their country players and miss guns imo.

Kumar Sangakarra Test and ODI.

I have 1 question for Athlai.

If I chose someone like Graeme Labrooy but decide I would like him just for ODI, can someone else chose him for Test?

Love the fact that Precam has Australia as his country. No idea who he'll pick really.
