[Shady Slim]

Best idea I've seen for a cricket draft ever. I should sit out of this one though. Wouldn't have been able to resist if this was ODIs or T20s.

evidently you weren't here for my "draft of non cricketers" draft, which was the best thing to come to cw since shady himself until @OverratedSanity picked hitler and it sort of fell apart from that point

 

[OverratedSanity]

It was heimlich himmler iirc. Pretty distasteful joke in all honesty. But I was the one who made that thread great in the first place by picking Burgey so if anyone had the right to ruin it, it was me

 

[Pothas]

Jack Hobbs

 

[Michaelf7777777]

W. G. Grace will be my first selection please

 

[Jarquis]

Jacques Kallis

 

[stephen]

Only @ankitj until I can reveal the rule governing this round!

 

[Jarquis]

Will unsuccessful picks from this round be banned for all future rounds too?

 

[stephen]

Will unsuccessful picks from this round be banned for all future rounds too?

From the OP:

Invalid picks will be banned for the rest of the draft unless I specify otherwise

 

[ankitj]

Sydney Barnes because I think he will survive the axe

 

[stephen]

Congratulations! Those are some great players you have selected.

All of these players are banned.

Your actual draft begins in round 2.

 

[ankitj]

 

[ankitj]

Order for round 2 is reversed?

 

[stephen]

Banned players:

Glenn McGrath, Don Bradman, Imran Khan, Garfield Sobers, Steve Smith, Adam Gilchrist, Malcolm Marshall, Shakib Al Hasan, Richard Hadlee, Keith Miller, Jack Hobbs, W. G. Grace, Jacques Kallis, Sydney Barnes
