Sheep Draft version 5.0

Riggins doesn't look like he is still playing. Should we give him sheep? I know Pothas is logged in now, and its still half an hour until 24 hours, so I'll wait until his pick..

If Riggins has left the game permanently then there seems little point in worrying the sheep.

Hoping that NUFAN with have a few more questions up his sleeve that will include bowlers. Only 1 question has been biased toward bowling so far (ER). And only two evenly weighted toward both batting and bowling (Trueman & Vowel).

Hoping that NUFAN with have a few more questions that will involve bowlers as we've only only had one so far (ER < 2.2).
Interesting. The last letter vowel and select a batsman Trueman dismissed allowed for bowlers. Luckily, the next 3 questions allow for anyone..

Yeah, what I originally wrote came out all wrong. See revised post.

Thanks for the broad questions.

Now busy looking at odd numbers.
