With Fred's email we now have 11 people who have submitted answers. At the moment there is 1 person who is going to get all 3 of his players if no one else picks them from now on.

Need one clarification on the rules. Say, for example, I understand if 2 people choose the same player neither gets that player. But does that player also become unavailable in the next rounds? If no, then what about their availability in the same round (next set of answers, maybe)?

Yes, he becomes unavailable for all the rounds, which means you have to think about your answers for say question 6 as someone might be picking that player for question 4. I tried to make the answers not overlap all that much in my questions, but there are probably a few people who fall into a couple of the categories.

I might at some point bring back all the disqualified people, but then again I might not..

BTW, who is FR?

Haha yeah. It just came up as F R though in my inbox, I had to actually click reply to view your email address.

Cheers for clearing it up anyway.

Yeah I'll reveal who passed and failed tomorrow early on in the Cricket, first session just to give a few more people some extra time.

The way it will work is if someone passes I'll just write PASS, if they Fail, I'll write the name of the player they selected beside the word fail. The people who pass do not reveal who they passed with until the completion of the round.

Okay, so for the people who have fails, please resend your new submissions. I'm at work tomorrow so I'll provide answers tomorrow night. I'll give everyone until stumps day 3 in the India vs Australia match.

Excellent starts from Smali, Blakus and Black Warrior with 3/3, the defending champion Blakus has the best 3 in my opinion.

Not so good starts from Cevno and weldone who are currently 0/3.
 

Eds

International Debutant
Delighted to get 2a. Happy enough with 3 as well, would have been awesome to get Headley as well. Ah well.
 

NUFAN

Yeah I have to say some of the people with 2/3 (Eds included) actually appear in a better position compared to at least one of the 3/3s who didn't really go for unbelievable players.

I was most surprised with Klusener and Lloyd getting disqualified, thought they were solid choices obviously a few people agreed.
 

G.I.Joe

International Coach
IMO Q3 provided the best chance of picking up a solid cricketer.
Q1 FAIL is toughest one to recover from.
 

NUFAN

Yeah Question 3 had about 130 options, it was definitely the easiest to get a good player.
