[honestbharani]

When can we pick?


And I think this site might help for the purposes of this draft if you are not sure:

Upto you L&L but if you think this site can be trusted, we can use this one in case any of us are not able to agree on how many syllables in a player's surname.

I presume you can pick as soon as you want honestbharani?

Also, a useful tool but it does have Ntini as two syllables so might be useful as a guide but not perfect - tested it with a footballer - Evan N'Dicka and had N'Dicka as two syllables. Tested a couple other names and seemed okay so maybe it just has a problem with that style of name where the N is a syllable on its own.

We can use it for everything else. Ntini, Ngam - the drafters know now.

Quick Question can we pick players who have not played Test Cricket - e.g. for reasons of rebel tours etc as I see you mention to add test averages at the end of the draft?

As judging is done on Test performances you might be doing yourself a disservice selecting non-Test players. However, there is no rule against doing this.

Normally draft judging is done on how the players in question would perform in hypothetical tests, though it's fine if we do it your way.

I'm flexible and am quite prepared to have first class averages posted as a criteria as well.

Okay will keep that in mind only a couple players I'm thinking of who haven't played Test Cricket and that is if I don't get beaten to their selection - will differentiate between any FC and Test stats at the end.

Sydney Barnes

 

[Teuton]

Muttiah Muralitharan
