This is my first draft thread so I dunno what the speed is usually like.

But surely makes more sense to pick 2 players a time. We are 2 days through and still got like 5 people on the first pick.

If the forum was more active it wouldn't be so bad. But this forum is glacial in comparison to my football clubs forum.

Welcome to your first CW draft.

 

[Shri]

When ou get the chance, ask around about the CW Forumer Cricket World Cup as well.

Guess it reflects the speed of cricket in general I suppose. I'm sure if this was a T20 draft it'd be ticking along a lot quicker ;-)

I must admit, that seems a really weird tactic for HB to take the 70s too with the 80s untouched at this point. I'm assuming he knows that means there's now 4 of us fighting out for one decade & other decades untouched. On the bright side it frees the 80s up

 

[indiaholic]

Yeah massively overlooking the 80s here.

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah massively overlooking the 80s here.

Yup, I think HB might have gone for what he thought was the next best player, rather than looking more strategically, but I could be wrong.

 

[mr_mister]

i'm loving this madness
