Been a while since the last draft now so thought I'd start up one. Ideally would prefer 12 participants so that everyone gets a chance of being first and last. One of the better drafts that we've had I reckon (well done to Joe for coming up with it) although we did get bogged down in the 1800's last time around.
How to play:
It's an all time test draft where each consecutive pick has to be a player that featured in a test the previous player played in, either in the same team or against.
Once the participants are all lined up and the order randomised, we'll start off with the latest Test being played, i.e. the last India - West Indies Test.
Participant 1 picks a player playing the Test, then Participant 2 picks a player that has played either with or against the player in a Test match at any point in time, providing a link to the appropriate scorecard as proof. It then carries on similarly in the pre determined order.
Example:
Participant 1 selects VVS Laxman and posts the scorecard: 2nd Test: West Indies v India at Bridgetown, Jun 28-Jul 2, 2011 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
Based on the above scorecard, Participant 2 cannot select Dhoni, Dravid or Rampaul because they are all in the same scorecard posted by Participant 1.
Participant 2 selects Steve Waugh and posts the scorecard where both Waugh and Laxman played in: 3rd Test: India v Australia at Chennai, Mar 18-22, 2001 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
Participant 3 selects Sunil Gavaskar and posts the scorecard that both Waugh and Gavaskar played in: 2nd Test: Australia v India at Melbourne, Dec 26-30, 1985 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
Rules:
- Any number of participants, 12 players can be picked, 12 hours between picks and 12 rounds.
- No Bradman.
- All players picked should have played a minimum of 10 tests.
- Players picked should have played at least 10 games after 1900.
- Only scorecards from post 1900 can be posted.
- The scorecards should be from ICC sanctioned Test matches involving Test nations only.
- If you miss your turn you have to make your pick from your allocated scorecard when you next come online. Other participants continue with the flow and the scorecards allocated to them.
