    Sorry Jager. Auction Draft is the first time I'm simming this kind of a competition, and it'll take a huge effort from me to sim that one - given that my work schedule is pretty tight nowadays, and I'm newly-married. Simming any other competition is next-to-impossible for me ATM.

    Quite sure I'm afraid - at the moment I don't know where I'm going to be on a day to day basis for the next few months and with my other commitments I just don't have the time.

    Haha yeah, awesome.

    Well, if you find a way to bat Stewart at 7 and get a decent opening pair, you'll likely have my vote.

    Hi Jager, I had though up an creative idea of how to use Bradman. In any draft one can pick Sir Don, but it must be in two first rounds, and the person defers their next round pick until the last pick of the draft. That way you can pick Bradman, but you will loose your second or third round pick. what do you think?. Will intro it after this draft.

    Yeah, fair one. I suppose it depends on how committed the drafters were - it may get tedious in the later rounds, resulting in the draft dying off and no-one wants that. Even so, I think we've got a good idea in the Theme Draft I suggested, if you can expand on it (eg. selecting which categories you can form a 'theme' with).

    (Just hope I'm not demoted now!)

    Another idea (even better, I think) would be to pick players at a certain point in time (ie. an exact date). It'd mean we're essentially picking off peaks, and would return some very interesting results, IMO. "Peak Draft".

    Sounds good to me. And, of course.

    I was thinking a good idea would be for people's team's to have a 'theme' behind them (Theme Draft). Teams must then have a certain number of players (6 or 7 seems decent) from this 'theme'. I'd say you should set exactly what the different themes could be. For example, what country a player is from, or what era a player is from.

    Oh, I don't think it'd be a problem to use it. If we're going through several seasons, we're bound to use it at some stage as it's an excellent draft-style.

    Would love something similar to the conventional draft we're doing atm, with a twist. I lack the creative juices needed to really think something up, but 'drafts' (ie. there's a list, player A pick, player B pick next) are generally more fun than 'games', for me. If that makes sense. :p

    Hey Jager - any ideas on what the next round of the Draft League will end up being?
    D
    Yeah, that was the issue - I guess it would be a case of trusting the drafters. Obviously 'they played county cricket together at Essex for one season' wouldn't be strong enough; whereas 'he took his friend to accompany him to the League of Nations' would be.

    The thought behind it was that it gives you an added element of strategy - if you wanted Murali, for example, you might have to take Chaminda Vaas with him, a decidedly weaker option. Or if you want Lillee, you end up with him and Thomson/Marsh.

    Idea for the next Reserve League draft - picking two players at a time, but they must have some sort of strong connection to each other - be it as brothers, an invincible middle order, opening bowlers, opening batsmen, captain/weapon, opposing captains in landmark series .etc

    What do you think?
    D
    Depends who's around him. He's only an occasional bowler (<1 WPM), so I'd want another part-timer alongside to 'share' the fifth bowler duties. Would consider him similar to Eddie Barlow or Greg Chappell as a bowler, I guess.
