Number of tests draft

[Fuller Pilch]

I mentioned this in the draft idea thread the other day and there was some interest. I assume all those who liked the post and/or commented on it are keen: JOJO, Pothas, Bitmap, CricAddict, trundler, ankitj



Number of tests draft.

Each XI needs

One player who (has) played 0 - 9 tests. Thus players who never played a test/are yet to debut are eligible. Players from countries which have never played tests or countries that weren't at the time are eligible.

Three players who (have) played 10-49 tests

Three players who (have) played 50-89 tests.

Three players who (have) played 90-129 tests.

One player who (has) played 130-200 tests.

No Bradman.

Will look at starting in a few days (after the NZ - SL test has started).

Apologies if I've missed anyone but I think there are 15 of us in the draft atm. There is room if a few more wish to join late and go at the end of round 1.

We'll have randomised reversed orders for rounds 1 -10. Round 11 will be a free for all, but I assume most of us will be going for completely different picks by then.

We will start with 12 hours for picks for the first round with one drafter on at a time.

After that it will be 6 hours between picks and still one drafter on at a time.

If anyone has questions, please ask.

Order for round 1 is as follows:

1. ataraxia
2. Line and Length
3. Bitmap
4. ankitj
5. Himannv
6. Patience and Accuracy+Gut
7. CricAddict
8. JOJOXI
9. Red
10. Fuller Pilch
11. Pothas
12. trundler
13. Teuton
14. honestbharani
15. kingkallis

@ataraxia

Also we will go with the total no of tests played by a player if he (has) played for 2 test sides or an official World XI test etc. Use cricinfo for number of tests.

Please put the number with your pick.

 

[CricAddict]

6 hours and one drafter

 

[Fuller Pilch]

NZ v SL will start in about 40 mins, so if ataraxia picks after that the number of tests played won't change for the draft as no other tests are on for ages.

 

[ataraxia]

I won't be picking for a few hours sorry

 

[Line and Length]

6 hours and one drafter

I agree.
@Fuller Pilch please confirm which is applicable.
Did @ataraxia 's time start when you posted the Round 1 order?

 

[ataraxia]

Aaaaaaaaaaah, Barry Richards (0–9)

@Line and Length

(I think 6 hours is good too ftr, after round 1)

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Okay, will make it 6 hours after round 1. Looks like 4-0 to that option. Will edit earlier post.
