Babushka draft

Cricketer Of The Year
This basic aim of this draft is to pick the best Test match team, however, each player you select must have played for a shorter amount of time at Test level (in years, months & days) than the player you selected previously.

So, for example, you might select Wilfred Rhodes in Round 1. Rhodes would give you a spectrum of 30 years, 9 months & 12 days. From then you might select someone like Sachin in round 2, who played for 24 years, 0 months & 3 days. And so your round 3 pick must have played for a shorter time period than Sachin, and so on, until the 11th & final round.

- No Bradman.

- A player's full career shall measured from day one of their Test debut, until the final day of their final Test match.

- Retired cricketers available only.

- 8 hours between picks.

- RNG'd draft orders for the first ten rounds, the 11th round will operate on a free-for-all basis.

Who's in?

I like the idea, wondering if I have enough time for the research. Is there an easy way to find out the career spans of players? (Not looking at individual player pages one at a time)

Alrighty then. Seven entrants thus far. I'll leave the draft open for another hour or so before throwing up the order for round 1.

What with NYE on tomorrow, I think a 12-hour time limit for round 1 is fair. Following this we'll settle into an 8 hour time limit, from R2 on.

R1 is now live.

Ok then, well I guess that'd mean Teuton is now up. SCC1 of course can make his first selection when he likes.
