    Vintage Cricket Draft Anyone?

    10 games positional eligablity. End of story. It's completely irrelevant that Tillakeratne happens not to keep anymore. Those we're the rules at the start. The rules are the same for everybody. Walcott is another who qualifies at WK, despite only playing 14 games there. There is no debate...

    Vintage Cricket Draft Anyone?

    Yes it is a specialist position. That's why a player has to have played at least 10 tests to qualify ... same with openers, middle order batsmen and bowlers. Don't wicket keepers bat? Maybe I've been missing something all these years . Most WK's are in the side because of their batting these...

    Vintage Cricket Draft Anyone?

    Thanks ... sounds complicated, so I'll give it a miss :) I thinks it should be OK the way it is. I updated the web page again to include a rankings table of where everyone stands in each category. Check it out below: VINTAGE CRICKET STANDINGS

    Thanks Slats. If anyone sees any incorrect numbers, then post to tell me. I'll update that on the spread sheet, and upload it after the current round has completed.

    Vintage Cricket Draft Anyone?

    :) ALright ... good luck acumulating bowling stats. Like I said, it should police itself :D I'm gonna post a spreadsheet on the internet with the current standing as each player picks. I'll update it every round or so. Obviously these will be a little (or a lot) skewed until the last pick is...

    Vintage Cricket Draft Anyone?

    In reply to a point made by Neil Pickup on the other thread: The 10 game minimum refers to batting positions (opener, middle order and WK). The scoring system should be sufficient to police the positioning of players. If you place players who are primarilly batters in the bowling slots, then...

    Vintage Cricket Draft Anyone?

    We're going crazy with the runs ... I suppose we'll see NZ'ers flying off the board now because someone picked up Martin Crowe :)

    10 game minimum for a position. The rules have said that from the outset. He actually played at east 13 games at WK. His first 11 games were as the full time WK, then he's filled in from time to time over the years. I hadn't planned it to pick Tillekeratne, but when the Sri Lankan's started to...

    Tillekeratne At least 13 tests at WK ... so I'm able to kill 2 birds with one stone here. I'll posts his test stats later. PY UP

    You guys don't mess around with the runs! One WK goes ... they all go ... one Sri Lankan goes ... they all go! Of course, while y'all are picking good (but not great) players for positional and team scarcity, I'm stocking up on the big numbers all rounders as they're passed to me ;) Mr...

    Vintage Cricket Draft Anyone?

    I thought all along that Murali was a great pick. And now Arivinda has been snagged right from the top of my list :!( I'm impressed :) Ah well ... back to the drawing board. Is anyone keeping a spreadsheet on the standings as they're being updated?

    Lara v Hayden

    Let me think about that one a minute. You think Lara is the better batsman. But you think Hadyn should be considered better because he's not as good :rolleyes: :lol: :wow: Oh wait ... you're an Australian ... problem solved ;)

    Two Tier Test Championship?

    I disagree. So what ... we should stop playing test crciket altogether because the weather might effect things. i know you guys seem rather attached to your league tables etc, but they say very little to me. Cricket, test cricket especially, needs an event. Using normal everyday series as a...

    Two Tier Test Championship?

    Get everyone in the same country or geographical area for 2 or 3 months every 2 to 3 years. Everyone plays each other once, and the 2 top teams playoff for the title of world champion ... just like how other sports do it. The league table would be a useful marker to go alongside the tournament...

    The 24 hour limit is there when you have no choice. As is the suspension over the weekend. It's to help those who have to be away from their computers for whatever reason, or those who can only surf the internet at work. I made this clear enough at the outset. It takes no more than 2 minutes to...

    To those participating in the draft: for the sake of the draft, and in respect of the others who are also participating, if you come to the Forum, can you please check to see if your pick is due. Marc UP
