Funky idea for a draft, XIs will only be made of players from 2 chosen decades

[mr_mister]

in the end really though there are 24 choices that have to be made, so it makes sense some of the better decades will have to be shared by at least 3 people. 4 isnt that out there

Two guys picking from the 90s right after me is more annoying.

McGrath was gonna be my first pick so shut your whore mouth.

[Zinzan]

Sachin Tendulkar (1980s)

Btw, is it just me who's noticed this trend in a lot of CW drafts, that being in spite of many rating Tendulkar as a god in certain threads, that he's very rarely chosen as one of the first batsmen picked in drafts. I don't just mean this one either where their tactics involved, I'm talking about across the board.

The initial rounds are all about bowlers, all rounders and wicketkeepers. Would be surprised if any batsman other than Bradman is selected in the initial stages.

I was talking specifically about batsmen. I could be wrong but it intuitively feels the likes of Richards and Lara are often selected before him in these drafts.

Yeah they are just as good so why not?

 

[Zinzan]

No disagreement here

Think Lara and Viv are seen as more x-factor players and are selected earlier because of this.

Sachin is the most consistent against all teams in all conditions ever, but I think a lot of people see him as a bit vanilla early in a draft.

Lmao I reckon J_C already has this won.

Having both Macko and Viv in same team would've been insane and given you the edge. It rarely happens in drafts if am not wrong.

Could have something there.
