[BackFootPunch]

Player R.

 

[morgieb]

Player C I guess. 2/3rds chance of getting an OK player, 1/3rd chance of getting a dud....

 

[Howe_zat]

Right so I'm going to make it that if you're at the end of a round, you have 24 hours to pick until you get a player picked for you by the RNG. Garson has 12 hours extra this time because I didn't say this earlier, so 36 hours from morgieb's post above.

Once the last pick comes around cant you just start the next round anyway? edit: well, for some rounds that feature a new order, anyway

[Spikey]

worst comes to worse, I'll give Sid the gloves

 

[Howe_zat]

The whole reason I set this up is so as we can have things like Pringle being picked ahead of Lillee. Pretty pleased with myself.

 

[morgieb]

Who did Cabinet even want?

 

[Cabinet96]

Tony Greig. There was. 50% chance of me getting him, and a 50% chance of me getting Lillee, but I needed the extra batting.

 

[morgieb]

It said 1982, that's a major ****up from you

Greig would be a decent choice though.

 

[honestbharani]

Happy to get Big Merv although Bruce Reid would have been nice too..

 

[Spikey]

It said 1982, that's a major ****up from you

Greig would be a decent choice though.

oh man: Ian Greig | England Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[Coronis]

Wasim/Cronje/Lillee. Not too shabby.

oh man: Ian Greig | England Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo

So I originally decided to go to this page for some reason: All-round records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

Didn't see any other all-rounders, thought to myself, Greig would be a decent pick. Then went through the rest of the field and saw that I was guaranteed no one better.

Then thought I better check that my original findings were correct, so went to this page: All-round records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

Saw there was a Greig there and picked.

Hilarious really.

 

[kingkallis]

I was hoping for Ian Chappell but other Ian is not bad either. Team looks decent.

[Garson007]

I'll have to go with M and hope for Bond. No obvious choice in the latest list, I think.
