If person X has already picked for me, he doesn't threaten me. So I will pick a crap player for him.

Going a step back, person X will know who he picks for me will not influence me when it comes to my turn to pick for him. So X will also pick a crap player for me. Irrespective of what others do, it is in my (everyone's) interest to pick crap players for others.

I am going to make everyone have magical teams by picking only All Time Greats that suit their team perfectly, so yeah that is my plan because at the end of the day I just want everyone to have a good team.

Absolutely agree, I may pick someone you don't fully agree with, but I'll be picking the best player I can.
My mind may change after being ****ed around for a few picks though

The argument for religion vs trusting people to have a personal moral code right here folks.

Ankitj making the stronger argument as of now.

Not if everyone secretly emails their pick to MM within a 24 hour time period, who then reveals all the picks for the round at once.

OK, so after a bit of discussion and debate, these are the ground rules I'm going to (tentatively) lay down:

  • Each Round will be designated a particular kind of player: batsman (x6), wicket-keeper (x1), spin bowler (x1), fast bowler (x2), Wildcard (x1) (can be whatever you want - another batsman, another seamer/spinner etc. This will be the last round)
  • Whilst it might be more fun to do e-mails, I'm personally against them as I think it clogs up the draft and takes too long. If people want the e-mails, however, I'll have that.
  • PMs between players will be allowed - makes it interesting and secretive
  • I agree with Howe, so there's a minimum of 20 tests for a player to be eligible
  • Don is illegible for the personal round, but is OK from Round 2 onwards
  • The order for the next round will be revealed after the last pick of the previous round has been made

If anyone has any problems, bring them up and we'll try and sort them out.

Players so far (a couple of people have commented but haven't signed-up, so if you would like to, please do):

After many, many attempts from the regulars WW has finally stumbled upon a unique and interesting draft idea

We need new blood more often in these things

I am in.

I will avoid prisoner's dilemma effect because, well, there is no real money involved here.
