A Draft By Nation: All Time XI

[listento_me]

Guessing morgie has timed out so I'll take Mitchell Johnson

Correct. I tried giving him an extra hour but you made your pick after that so morgieb ends up having to wait till the end.

interesting pick btw, theres some solid aussie names not being picked

 

[listento_me]

[Shady Slim]

Adam Gilchrist

Rounds in order of Ranking:
1. Pakistan - original order
2. India - inverted
3. Australia - randomised
4. England - seeded
5. South Africa - seeded
6. Sri Lanka - seeded
7. New Zealand - seeded
8. West Indies - seeded
9. Bangladesh - randomised
10. Zimbabwe - randomised
11. Associate of your choosing - randomised

Below are the order of picks till round 8. I've used what I call a seeding system, where everyone gets a chance to be first pick and everyone HAS to be a final pick. The middle of the pack is also sufficiently shuffled. I thought it would be a lot fairer than alternating between the original order, inverted and randomised, in a system where certain people (myself included) can have a min of top picks 3 times.

From round 8 on wards we will go back to a fully randomised system.
