an idea: a draft of non-cricketers

[Athlai]

poor selection, what happens if the bat signal goes up and he has to retire out?

Most cricket is played during the day tbf. Reasonable selection.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Need an archetypal grumpy,bully Australian captain for my team.

I pick Burgey.

Nothing like a random, sometimes nonsensical old man rant at a low moment to get the team riled up.

**** me

not joking at all he was my next pick you've got to be ****ting me

 

[morgieb]

I reckon with that pick OS won the draft. 10/10 use of creativity.

 

[Burgey]

I won't let the team down.

 

[harsh.ag]

Burgey to kill selector OS in due course.

 

[Burgey]

Will give n meaning to the Captain Grumpy moniker.

 

[Burgey]

OS, enjoy your time going from fine leg to fine leg, ****.

 

[Adders]

So who is going to be the Alpha male in a team that may consist of Burgey, Joseph Stalin, Genghis Khan and Kim Jong II??............**** me that is going to be a volatile change room!!

 

[Burgey]

They can all take turns carrying my bags.

 

[harsh.ag]

They can all take turns carrying my bags.

Your ball bags.

 

[Burgey]

That's a given.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Sasha Grey will fill one or both opening slots. Can be a bit loose but still one of the best hookers going round.

 

[Victor Ian]

Seeing as we are all veering on different tangents can we pick 3 players at a time from now on, or bring voting time down to 3 hours a piece? Overlaps don't really worry here, I think. I'm keen to bed down my middle order.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah, 3 hours imo.

 

[Shady Slim]

will move to eight/ten(?) hours if you want... that seems a fair compromise

ugh no. can we not turn the thread into pages of 'x has timed out'

if you want a speedy draft do what Vimes did in CWPL and let everyone pick at once for each round once the previous round is complete
