Selectors Draft

GIMH

Norwood's on Fire
The teams should be mentioned here or sent back to you through PM?
Back to me please.

There’s no rule as to whether you declare which XI was yours. More seasoned drafters can decide if there’s an advantage to others not knowing certain players aren’t available to you.

Could make R1 pick your team and R2 the reverse of R1? There's an advantage here to having Ireland or Afghanistan

I think it makes it easier if those who haven't got an allocation can just PM GIMH so he can just reply. There's less waiting time that way I think.
 

GIMH

Norwood's on Fire
Everyone except Fuller should have their team now I think, drop me a PM if not. Got a few teams back already
 

GIMH

Norwood's on Fire
Okay we are good to go. Thirteen XIs were picked, one from every Test nation bar Australia who were split into two - up to cap 290, and 291 onwards.

The only selection rule is you can’t pick from your own team, unless there are no other players left.

XIs below, I’ve not adjusted formatting so they’re lifted exactly as presented to me.

3 questions.
Do we have to pick players to bat in the same position as they are listed in these teams (for instance, Does Kane Williamson have to open?)?

Which John Reid in the NZ team? I'm assuming JF Reid as batting 3.

Who honestly left Miller and O'Reilly out of the early era Oz team??!!
 

GIMH

Norwood's on Fire
They don’t have to be in that position, no, good question. So if you want to pick Steve Smith as a frontline spinner, that’s your prerogative.

Will confirm with the relevant selector on the John Reid query.

I leave it up to the players to decide if they want to reveal which team they picked. So I won’t answer the last question :)
