"200 Tests or less" Draft

AndrewB

International Vice-Captain
Rules:

- All players selected must have played at least 1 Test match.

- Your final XI must have played, in total, not more than 200 Test matches.

- Order of selection will be determined by a random number generator; subsequently the following round will feature the same order, but reversed. After the opening two rounds, this process will repeat itself. There will be 11 selection rounds & will be generated as we go.

- Players must make their selection within 12 hours of the preceding player’s selection otherwise they will be timed out. If a player is timed out they can still make a selection whenever possible but are not allowed to select any cricketer already taken.

- The finalised teams will be put to a vote to decide the winner.

- No Bradman. (Also, as a consequence of the first two rules, no Tendulkar).

I think we have 10 people already signed up for this in the earlier thread, so I'll be posting the first round order fairly shortly. We could probably fit in 1 or 2 late entrants if anyone else is keen.

I don't quite understand the exclusion of Bradman in this draft; imho there are more hax picks than him for this particular one.

What is the ruling on current players? Matches played at selection?

Quite obviously the late apartheid era Saffers are going first.

No exception here: Graeme Pollock
