Combined Test/ODI squad draft

[Red]

Inspired by NUFAN's thread on selecting a nation's team to play test/ODI/t20 cricket concurrently, is this thread.

Participants will pick 22 players. 11 of them will form their test team, 11 will form their ODI team.

Players picked to play in a participant's ODI team must have played at least one ODI. Ditto for players selected in the test team.

At the conclusion of the draft, participants post their combos, and each participant in the draft must select a top 3 (not including their own) combo most likely to win a 5 match one day series, and a top 3 (not including their own) combo most likely to win a 5 test series. (top team: 3 points, 2nd team: 2 points, 3rd team: 1 point for each). The participant with the combined test/ODI team with the most points wins.

Randomized for R1, reversed for R2 and so on.

Limiting this to ten players as it's a big draft. I'm keen to play so there's nine spots available.

Six hours between picks to keep things ticking along.

Express interest.

 

[morgieb]

Keen.

 

[watson]

OK.


Bradman?

 

[Agent TBY]

In if it's a quick draft (8h or less). Can see this taking months otherwise.

So participants select a 3 separate ODI teams and 3 separate test teams?
So in total 66 players?


So if you can explain for a slow person like me and I get it, then I am in.

It's a Cricketweb Drafting tradition that come Voting Time the voter gets to choose his 3 favourite teams from those on show. Because we will creating aTest team and an ODI team the voter will need to cast 6 votes - 3 for the Test team and 3 for the ODI team.

I might struggle at times with 6 hours, but I'll give this a go

 

[WalkingWicket]

I'll give it a go if there's still space - which I think there is.

I might not have been clear here. You are selecting one test team, and one ODI team.

Once the teams are complete, each participant will vote on what they think are the three strongest test teams (3 points for the best, 2 for the 2nd best, 1 for the 3rd best), and the same for the ODI teams. You can't vote for your own team. The team with the most points accumulated from their combined test and ODI votes will be the winner of the draft.

Draft begins once Black Warrior makes his selection. Six hours between selections once he's picked.
