U19 Captain
So, I thought I'd do a draft that hasn't been done on here...at least I think so. I had a quick look through search and didn't find anything like this, hopefully I haven't missed anything.
The premise is pretty simple, each test playing nation and one associate, has to be represented in your team. So that's a player each from the 10 test nations and one from any of the associates. I'm also going to restrict to cricketers who have played in the 21st century ONLY, thus restricting the obvious names that often pop up.
Rules:
1. Any player from a test playing nation, must have played a minimum of 15 tests AND 30 ODIs in this century, so that's beginning January 1st 2000.
2. Associate players have to have played a minimum of 20 ODIs AND/OR 15 first class matches in this century. Associates are defined as any country which can participate in an international 50 over match but does not have test status, e.g. Afghanistan. Players from associate countries that have played for test playing nations can also be included, as long as they meet the requirements.
3. You can ONLY pick one player from each country.
4. Batting line ups can be flexible, so you can promote someone up to open, if that's what your team requires. There is no limit on how many or how few matches a particular batsman has played at a particular position.
There you go. Nothing too complicated but hopefully a bit different.
I'll wait for 8 responses, so if you wana join in, just post here. More of you can join in if there's demand and the number can be upped.
In so far:
1. NZTailender
2. morgieb
3. The Battlers Prince
4. Shady Slim
5. jimmy101
6. AndrewB
7. kingkalis
8. RedHill
9. Stace (if he still wants to)
