Experience Draft - Poll

[Jarquis]

The concept :

I've just had another new idea for a test match draft with players being eligible for different rounds based on the number of test matches that they have played over the course of their careers. Their will be 11 rounds with the teams being put to a forum vote and possibly a sim.

Rounds

1. 1-10 tests
2. 11-20 tests
3. 21-30 tests
4. 31-40 tests
5. 41-50 tests
6. 51-60 tests
7. 61-70 tests
8. 71-80 tests
9. 81-100 tests
10. 101-120 tests
11. 121+ tests

Cast your votes!

 

[Luffers]

This is so difficult to pick!

 

[Jarquis]

Could a moderator edit the poll and remove the rogue "e" on the end of Sean's name please?

Could you also correct the spelling of Michael's name? Merci

 

[G.I.Joe]

Michaelf7777777 Got the (8th) best batsman and (undisputed by the sane of mind) best bowler and (arguably, not my personal opinion) best all rounder of all time in the same team.

 

[Jarquis]

I love the balance of my side, just think it's difficult to look past Michael's in terms of quality though.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah cannot beat Michael's, got all the best picks.

Happy with my side though.

 

[Blakus]

I can see Michael sweeping this. 2 of Seans top 3 and quality every else.

However I'm going to vote for Fredfertang as his team is the one I'd most want to watch. Style, class and entertainment in every department.

 

[Simon]

Michael, Blakus and Fredfertang for mine. Maybe too many Poms in Fred's for my liking.

 

[Goughy]

Voted for Blakus but fredfertang's is my fav.

 

[honestbharani]

Bradman,Sobers, McGrath > what you can pick..

 

[Noble One]

Michael the standout choice.

I reckon my team lacked a true superstar like a Bradman to make voters show interest.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hard to go past any side with Sobers and Bradman in it, but you have to love Blakus's bowling attack & his batting v strong too. Faulkner a good batsman to be coming in at seven.

 

[Matt79]

Bradman,Sobers, McGrath > what you can pick..

This. Especially when the rest of the side contains guys like Trueman, Grimmett, Ponsford, Neil Harvey and Hunte. Awesome balance and awesome talent.

 

[bunny]

Voted for Michael.
Would love to see the draft order. Cant understand how someone can grab all 3 of Sobers, Bradman and McGrath.

 

[Jarquis]

He was first in the rounds they were available in for Sobers and Bradman

 

[Pothas]

Voted for Michael.
Would love to see the draft order. Cant understand how someone can grab all 3 of Sobers, Bradman and McGrath.

He ran the draft.

 

[fredfertang]

I agree it has to be Michael's team but I still like my lot - got all my favourite cricketers except Jardine and Knott, and I could have had Knotty but am a little ashamed to say I went with Gilly in a belated and pretty shameless attempt to get the popular vote

 

[G.I.Joe]

He ran the draft.

But he was so unlucky to get last pick in round 5.

 

[Pothas]

I agree it has to be Michael's team but I still like my lot - got all my favourite cricketers except Jardine and Knott, and I could have had Knotty but am a little ashamed to say I went with Gilly in a belated and pretty shameless attempt to get the popular vote

Yeah I went for Maurice Tate in order secure at least a vote from one highly esteemed member.

 

[Jarquis]

Yeah I went for Maurice Tate in order secure at least a vote from one highly esteemed member.

Ah, but Tate didn't make CW's Greatest 50 Crickets because of said highly esteemed member, did he?
*Hopes Jardine gets the vote*
