Yeah they do, nothing wrong with your pick at all and I picked Lillee who of course played lots of cricket after 77. I just thought that as it was a 45-77 draft I would pick players that had a real impact in that era.
You guys were definately safe with picking Miller and Lillee anyway :)

The 12 Rounds have been set out already Andy, so you might need to consult Jimmy.

But I'm all for inverting R1 to make R2, then doing the Random Generator thing to decide R3 if that's what people prefer.

Don't mind either system, but think the usual CW way of Drafting where the odd Rounds are Randomly Generated and the even Rounds inversions of the odd Rounds, is the best and farest system - and the most exciting because you never know what's going to happen.

Do you want to take charge of deciding the selection order for the rest of the rounds Andy? By the way, nice pick fredfertang.

You're doing a good job Jimmy!

I'm sure that someone will be very happy to explain the Random Generator thingo to you. I'd like to learn it too.

If we keep R2 as per Andy's suggestion then we have plenty of time up our sleeve - 2 or 3 days till R3.

So what do we want to do? Keep things the way they are or switch to the use of the RNG? Majority rules here, I'm easy either way.

Jimmy. Go for your first two picks. I will choose my second one immediately.
I'll just make one pick at the moment to see what the others think about changing the order because a couple of people here seem to be against it. Anyway, my round one pick: Graeme Pollock

Reversing the order of each round works. After each cycle you can go for the conveyor belt model or the random order. But each round's reverse order keeps the draft on an even keel.
