Mystery Draft (ODI XI and Test XI, 79-09)

Love the fact that Precam has Australia as his country. No idea who he'll pick really.
:laugh: Yeah the random generator was pretty golden giving precam Australia and chaminda NZ. To a lesser extent giving Pakistan to me.

I have a question.

If a player debuted prior yo 79 in one form, but after in another form. Can we still pick him?

You'd imagine so...I think you're referring to one of the great test fast bowlers who didn't have quite the same outstanding record in ODIs - fits the criteria of debuting after 1979 in ODIs but not in test matches.

Jeez, Precam normally on 24hrs a day - hate it when there's only one person between me and my pick.

Does anyone else get the impression that Chaminda is determined to find as many loopholes in the format as possible? :p

I'm trying to take the mystery out of this draft. I'm still confused with this whole thing.

I have a question

Is Tasmania part of New Zealand. It not on my map of Australia? :ph34r:

I'm not sure if you're having a go at me or not with that last line but just to clarify my post was only lighthearted.

I have a question.

If someone played for Sri Lanka during the ICC Trophy but not in the WC in 1979. Are they classified as a minnow?

No as Sri Lanka are one of the top 8 nations and this would allow you to pick a player twice handicapping NUFAN. Minnows are Bangladesh + Zimbabwe + any other nation to have played an ODI since 1979.

With South African players do they have to have played ODIs/Tests. Or can you pick guys that played rebel Tests or just FC cricket?

I have a question.

Can the rules be altered to insist Tharmi has to take 8 NZers and 3 from any other country?
