I am going to join, should be fun.

That's not how I presumed it would work - I presumed anyone that picked someone who matched with someone else would just not get a pick for that round. Simple.

Good work James W, just send through an email to sheepdraft@hotmail.com with your choice [I'm now at work and don't have access to hotmail].

I just wanted to include this rule to the game:
Whenever 2 or more selectors choose the same player he is automatically banned for the rest of the game. The player must fit the criteria.

Also is everyone happy with 3 chances before someone picks for them would you rather 2? Will do a snap vote for the next 3 people who answer, this would start from round 2.
9 1/2 hours to go...

I like to make things complicated. But nah, I hope it's clear enough.

Ok, so are the failed ones eligible for selection again or are they out of bounds? How many chances at a question do we have (2 or 3) before losing the pick? Do we not get to see the successful ones?

[NUFAN]

Amazing support for the Indians for the first selection didn't pay off with 7 draftees forced to make a second pick with Tendulkar, Dev and Kumble all banned.

This means I need a re-pick within 24 hours from everyone with a fail beside their names..If you pick a player that has already been accepted that's tough luck and will mean you'll have a 2nd strike beside your name. After 3 remember someone picks a player for you.

In the meantime I'll ask a second question.

For those on round 1 selection 2 your answer will take preference to someone on selection 2 pick 1 if you pick the same person.

Second question to come in a few minutes.

Failed picks so Tendulkar, Dev and Kumble are out for the entire game.
You get 3 strikes, after 3 strikes someone choices the person for you.
No, you don't get to see the successful players until the round so like selection 1 in this case is complete.

[NUFAN]

Selection 2
You are required to select a Cricketer who took 6 wickets or more in an innings on Test debut (it can be first or second innings, that doesn't matter).


Email to sheepdraft@hotmail.com your answer within the next 24 hours or so.

Don't forget for those who did not get a player accepted in round 1, I need your re-pick too.

[Noble One]

Sent. Very pleased to get my 1st selection too.

Just a heads up that those of you who are making your second pick for the first question should still make your first pick for the second question.

When we get a bit further through this, I'll leave a bigger gap so you can think about the balance of the team a little more. At the moment I don't think it's that important.

[NUFAN]

Still almost 20 hours to go, Only Vimes, Uppercut, Fred, Pickup, JamesW are yet to pick.
