Funky idea for a draft, XIs will only be made of players from 2 chosen decades

[The Battlers Prince]

Think Lara and Viv are seen as more x-factor players and are selected earlier because of this.

Yeah definitely had the higher talent ceiling where they could truly win any match when they were on. Whereas...

Sachin is the most consistent against all teams in all conditions ever, but I think a lot of people see him as a bit vanilla early in a draft.

I think Sachin while he too could win matches off his bat was just a fraction below the Windies greats (in tests that is), Richards and Tendulkar above Lara in ODI's

[OverratedSanity]

Is it cheating if I point out that unless Red Hill and jimmy pick 1940s and 60s, J_C can basically pick Xi great players and end his draft right now?

did you miss that three guys picked from the same decade twice?

OS trying really hard to have a free run at the 30s. WAC.

 

[anil1405]

OS trying really hard to have a free run at the 30s. WAC.

That was my first thought too.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hey atleast one of my decades is taken

 

[anil1405]

And the other one which isn't is pretty tempting.

 

[Shri]

Nice position to be in on Rd 3. Thanks random list generator.

 

[mackembhoy]

Ricky Ponting(90s)

 

[mr_mister]

OS trying really hard to have a free run at the 30s. WAC.

reminds me of the banter when me and the mates play a game of risk. everyone offers 'helpful' advice to each other which conveniently involves x attacking y when they are playing as z

 

[Shri]

Since Zinzan's pick won't affect mine, can I pick now?

 

[mr_mister]

just wait, because honestb is after you and his pick might clash with zinzans and yeah chain reaction all that ****.

sorry shri. patience is a virtue

 

[Zinzan]

Wait why are we kicking off round 3 when Jimmy & RH are yet to pick their round 2s?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Wait why are we kicking off round 3 when Jimmy & RH are yet to pick their round 2s?

Because 16 hours (2 picks) passed since your pick, I'm guessing.

 

[mr_mister]

ah yes fair call there. Red Hill actually has an hour til he times out. mackembbhoy still new to drafts so yeah

 

[Zinzan]

Because 16 hours (2 picks) passed since your pick, I'm guessing.

Cool cool. Had to recheck that it was 8 hours.

 

[mr_mister]

o wait Samuel is right. both have timed out. lol. 8 hours is tough but thems the breaks
