Best of 130/5-fer ODI Limit Draft

[capt_Luffy]

Just seeking clarification - are players who have not played an ODI match eligible?

That would actually be awesome but I assume might break the game a bit....

Yeah that is a different draft. Would be a good one though

@Fuller Pilch given the no. of drafters, any chance we can loosen the 130 cutoff a bit, to 140?? Feel the HS is a much heavier blow than wickets. 140 still removes most, while leaving a few more good batters on the table.

A 21 team draft

Is this a record lol ?

No

That too in an odi setting

 

[Line and Length]

21 seems a bit too many. Does it include Red?
Would it be an idea to split into 2 leagues?

I might sit out of it although I love ODI drafts. I don't want to slow things down too much as I'm working 16 hour days at the moment plus trying to balance family stuff. Will join the next one (fingers crossed it's ODIs again).

This is the player list I've counted - not sure if I've missed anyone off please correct me if I have. A couple people re-confirmed their interest in both threads so maybe they've been double counted in opening post and then their re-confirmation either that or I'm miscounting - I've got 19 players.

If Himannv is unable to participate 18.

I counted it as 18 as well sans Himannv.

I've been thinking and have decided to have TWO drafters on the clock at the same time and change the batting score to a top score of 135 (so anyone who scored 136 or more in an ODI is ineligible).

Just say the truth that the rule is getting changed so that Chris Harris gets in

Somehow, whenever the number 130 crops up, I automatically remember Harris.

 

[Line and Length]

Please don't change the 130 to 135 after I've researched a list of "availables".

Chris Harris was already eligible, his top score wasn't more than 130.

Please don't change the 130 to 135 after I've researched a list of "availables".

Not sure how you research names but if you use Cricinfo and sort by High Score there are 28 extra names available, a few of them very unlikely to be picked

Wouldn't it be nice to try something different for once. Running the same draft in two separate threads by splitting the drafters into nine in each thread.

If that seems like extra work then I can handle one thread where I post picked players and each round order etc.

But how are you going to prevent the same players from being picked in the different threads?

I think two drafters at the same time works better

Both groups can pick the same player perhaps. So the player features for both groups.

A Chris Harris or any eligible player will be available to pick in both the threads.

If you don't mind that would be great.

+1. That would be more interesting. Perhaps a vote conducted on both threads, and the winners meet in a Finals showdown.
