To those participating in the draft: for the sake of the draft, and in respect of the others who are also participating, if you come to the Forum, can you please check to see if your pick is due.

I did check earlier, but didn't have time to pick - as I have 24 hours it's hardly a disaster that I wait till now to pick.

Almost researched this one!

Pretty darn good and a rather nice bloke as well from what I've seen.....

The 24 hour limit is there when you have no choice. As is the suspension over the weekend. It's to help those who have to be away from their computers for whatever reason, or those who can only surf the internet at work. I made this clear enough at the outset.

It takes no more than 2 minutes to make a pick ... especially at this stage

BTW ... nice snag with Hammond. He was on my short list. But I had no idea he also had 80 odd wickets, and not bad ratios.

-------------

I think I'll go with my 3rd all-rounder. With Sobers and Pollock already on board, things are looking good.
