Birthplace Draft

[mr_mister]

You're talking to me as if I made the rules. I agree with your logic but Andrew made it clear in the first post how he wants things done. Jackson would have gone in round 2 if Andrew hadn't specificed UK was one country

 

[trundler]

Must've missed that, sorry.

In that case, Shoaib Akhtar it is.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I am gonna respectfully drop out.

World Cup fever has taken me over. I'm drunk

It wouldn't really be consistent to say "West Indies isn't a country, so you can pick a Barbadian and a Jamaican (say)" and also "England and Scotland are technically part of the same country, but don't worry about it".

Scotland have their own international team and scarcely a Scot has played test cricket tho. Wales is combined with England; Scotland isn't.

This has really turned out to be a top-end draft with just a little spreading out. I am thinking of a follow-up draft with more emphasis on birthplace diversity so might try to get it off the ground at the end of this one.

MIchaelf7777777 has timed out,
morgieb is up.

Yeah, it has although the last couple of rounds might be fun. Be happy to do a draft with different rules.

Vinoo Mankad (India)

 

[mr_mister]

Double pick my boy

 

[AndrewB]

Not trying to rush Fred here but I’ll be afk for a while so will jump in with Rahul Dravid (India).

 

[trundler]

Well he already picked for India so seems fair
