Yeah I don't really disagree, I am just saying what I think the reasoning was for the Gayle selection.

Test Cricket Draft

Ah, my bad. I read the draft order part which says something like Team 1, Team 2...Team 12, so I assumed there were 18 teams in the draft.Actually, upon further investigation, it appears that all eighteen teams participated in the same draft. Eighteen teams and no players pre-1970 would make it really tough, so I was definitely a bit harsh with some of those. Stand by most of those criticisms regardless tbh but I'm happy enough to let Vaughan, Morkel and Gayle at 7 go through without complaint now.

So as it turns out I may have accidentally CWB'd the forum this came from. Woops.

No, I agree with the others when they say that all these sides have something to dislike about them. Maybe CW should have its own draft with these same rules to see if they could do better.
@the OP, just put up all the teams imo.

Nah, CWB304. Pretty sure I come across to them as he does to us, especially since I ended up ranting about one player I didn't rate for about five successive posts.

Yeah, I don't mind the draft idea. It'd give me a better idea as to how good or otherwise picks like Michael Vaughan and Morne Morkel actually were too, especially if we went with 18 teams too.
If you do the same, then do it with 18 teams, like we did!
I have all the teams, but don't have all the write ups.
Will post the write ups and teams for Group 2 tomorrow night and then Group 3, three days later!
I assumed it was CW (cricket web - the website) and B'd - just saying you have stamped your mark on our forum. But I was wrong (partly right).There is no way you should've got that. I wonder what you actually think I meant.
Just found it - only 12 teams though.

It's not a competition!
But I think you'll see most teams will have to have a few 'weaker' players!

Just remember to count me in if you ever happen to start one. My dedication to drafts cannot be questioned!
Everyone on here would vote for CW, everyone on TLW would vote for theirs.
Can't see it working.

But seriously, I would just vote for the best team and not care who made it.
BTW, I reckon people are being extremely harsh on Dhoni. Reckon he is a must in an 18 man draft - Vaughan too.
For me I quite like Jairzinho's team because he's picked his team in a reasonable batting order for starters. I'm a fan of Ian Sea's team too. I could see Lee, Fraser, Morkel and Flintoff working quite well together really - with Warne and the batting lineup is good.
Stu Monty's team pisses me off, he's picked about 6 specialist number 5 and 6 batsman.
Jairzinho and Ian Sea for me.
LFD, how long did it take you to complete the draft?

Started the selection on 30 September. Finished all 18 teams on 9th November.
Just doing voting now.
Group 1 nearly finished - Ian Sea & Stu Monty are winning!
Group 2 voting starts tomorrow and I'll post teams and write ups on here for you all to see what you think.

That's quite good going.
Not surprised at Ian Sea's team doing well, but I am surprised with Stu Monty.
Is he a used car salesman, because his comments make his team sound better then it is. Wasim arguably the best quick ever, Swann coming in at 9! He bats at 9 for England, lol. Flower opening and captain and keeper is absurd. Samaraweera and Martyn are the wrong way around and I wouldn't consider Collingwood as a Test all rounder as he did. On the plus Akram, Willis and Bishop is a fantastic pace bowling unit.
