Quick World ATG XI draft- No Bradman

Here's how it works:


* First 8 to reply are in (no latecomers).

* I do a draw to determine a set draft order.

* Reply within 24 hours or lose your pick for that round

* Any player who has played a test may be chosen, apart from Bradman.

* Once each team has an XI (plus a 12th man), we can write a brief piece about our team, and argue about whose team is strongest.

Good times!

I am in.

EDIT: A poll would be a good way to determine the winner.

Why must the player have played a Test? I mean, people won't be picking a Rob Quiney anyway, given the teams are being rated at the end. If someone feels a pre-Test player or Isolation-era South African player were good enough, why not pick them?

Totally your call though

I'll agree as long as you agree to take Quiney

No, fair enough. Any player is eligible for selection, as long as it isn't Bradman.

I assume the obvious - one ATG player nominated at a time. That ATG player cannot then be chosen again by another participant.
