Sheep Draft

[Goughy]

I loved the first one but ODIs are not really my thing. Happy to step aside and let someone else take my place

 

[NUFAN]

6 out of 7 so far, not baaaaad.

In an effort to get a few more people, could a mod please change the title to
- Sheep Draft 2 - ODI edition.

Thank you

 

[Jamee999]

I might play.

Title edited.

 

[NUFAN]

Cheers for the edit.

In SDII, we'll have a 13 man squad and also pick a stadium, so 14 rounds in total - 2 rounds per day.

3 misses in a single round will result in a draftee selecting someone for you, except for selection 1 where 2 misses means someone is picking for you.

If the same person is selected in say round 1b and 2b, the person in the earlier round will be chosen. If someone is chosen in 1c and 2b - 2b's would count.

 

[NUFAN]

Selection 1a
You are required to select any venue who has staged an ODI.

Selection 2a
You are required to select any bowler who has taken 6 or more wickets in an ODI match.

Please send your picks to sheepdraft@hotmail.com - you have until Monday 6:00pm Aussie time to get in your votes.

It's not too late to enter this comp, the more the merrier.

[Noble One]

Amazed at the support for Viv Richards. Everyone must think alike, "bowlers question, I'll go sneaky and select a batsman with a 6fer".

They all did it wrong.

 

[Noble One]

They all did it wrong.

Their loss. I'm happy with my selection of an ODI superstar.

 

[NUFAN]

That's what makes this game work so well.

Viv Richards would probably be the best ODI player to have taken 6 wickets (well right up there) and I don't think anyone was prepared for someone else to have him.

I was actually thinking that each round I select a Black Sheep, a player that no one else can pick, this will make it harder, does anyone have a problem with me doing this?

I can email someone else like Cribbage just in case.

 

[Noble One]

I'm ok with that. Anything to increase the chances of teams including obscure ODI players.

This draft is not about simply selecting 11 fantastic cricketers. More making do with the options available.
