You suck slats! ...lol

For everybody interested, I was talking to Slats on MSN after he picked Hadlee, I also didn't realise that Hadlee had been picked, I was saying how I was going to pick A.B. for my next pick!

Just a lesson for everyone - hold your cards close to your chests!!!

Most people try to do the opposite e.g. make posts about how rare this category is, or this player is injured etc ... all the while trying to push people in another direction in order to protect your next pick LOL

Some under the table drafting strategy to remember ;)

P.S. Mister Wright if you're heading out, or goin to bed, you can email me 3 possible players and I'll make your picks for you ... when Luckyeddie finally wakes up :)

My second and third innings are complete. I've kept Gavaskar's bowling stats there until we decide what we're going to do with batter's bowling stats.

I couldn't have Border, so I went for the next best, couldn't go past him.

I noticed PY tried to slip in 50s for Malcolm Marshall...nice try, but as far as I'm aware we are not counting 50s 8D

Nice pick by the way.

I thought all along that Murali was a great pick. And now Arivinda has been snagged right from the top of my list :!( I'm impressed :)

Ah well ... back to the drawing board.

Is anyone keeping a spreadsheet on the standings as they're being updated?

We're going crazy with the runs ... I suppose we'll see NZ'ers flying off the board now because someone picked up Martin Crowe :)

In reply to a point made by Neil Pickup on the other thread:

The 10 game minimum refers to batting positions (opener, middle order and WK). The scoring system should be sufficient to police the positioning of players. If you place players who are primarilly batters in the bowling slots, then you'll do well in the batting categories, but you'll get completely swamped in the bowling categories, and probably finish in the bottom 3 or 4 at the end :)

I think that perhaps we should put a 100 wicket limit on qualification for bowling slots, and a 2000 run limit on the batting slots. We have 1 utility slot which can be used for either.

Is everyone OK with this?
