CW Draft League - The Reserves

Yeah I agree 12.5 test per player is too low. Any chance of reviving it? 300 tests gives you an average of 25 test per player to hit which is reasonable enough.

Nah. Get creative.

It means that picking "standard" players who turn up in these drafts is a massive investment of resources and I want to see who's prepared to take the plunge.

I think that would still be the case with, say 250 tests.

If you want to stick with 150 tests that's fine, but I just think it may become to difficult in the later rounds. And the standard of the teams may become very poor.

An average of 12.5 Tests does seem rather low.

Each of the completed teams will be a mixture of players from the19th century, promising novices, South Africans just before they got banned, and the sick & injury prone. Not very expansive.

Therefore, an average of about 20 does seem more fun.

Originally I wasn't going to participate this time around, but I'm interested in this concept, so I may as well have a crack.

I'll go with the opposite direction:

Don Bradman (52 Tests)

Balance: 98

'Tis the path I'd be going. Pick up a couple of yer traditional draft guns and then fill the rest of the side with pre-Test-cricket legends. I'd probably lose because a lot of people wouldn't have heard of the players I'd picked, but I'd bask in the smug satisfactions of knowing my team was actually awesome.

As per the rules, the team is being picked up to play tests, so it's only fair that they don't get the votes :cool2:
