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.

I prefer the levelling of having someone like Viv available - do you take the risk, knowing that everyone else is thinking the same?

I would keep my selection quiet until someone else picks him or the round is finished.
I wouldn't necessarily pick the best player, I would mix it up all the time.

think the way we are is ok

and send 2b..

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah it is okay the way we are I agree, but think it might be more fun for me if I have the ability to ruin your teams a little bit more.

 

[NUFAN]

Samuel_Vimes and Neil Pickup have about an hour left for selection 2b.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Sending soon.

Banned Player: Viv Richards


The 3 draftees without a successful pick have 22 hours to pick for selection 2c.

 

[NUFAN]

Quick games a good game so I'll do questions 3 and 4 now.

If 2c and 3a or 4a have the same person selected 2c will be a pass, is that clear?


Selection 3a
You are required to select a Cricketer with a career batting strike rate of over 85.00


Selection 4a
You are required to select a Cricketer who was under 19 years old on ODI debut.


Don't forget for 3a that Pollock, Richards and Klusener have already been confirmed and 2c's answer is included over 3a's or 4a's. Cheers

And if 3a and 4a have the same person selected, the one who picked him on 3a gets him?

Also: no 19-year-olds available for 4?

Yes 3a is selected and 4a would not be.

Question 4 the person has to be under 18 years and 365 days.

Ripping group of players for Round 2. Myself, very pleased with both rounds 2 and 3.

 

[Jamee999]

I don't get why I passed

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah many match winners from round 2. Biased Indian must be very happy getting Imran with his last pick!

Is the results layout better this way? It's easier for me and looks better IMO. Please have questions 3b and 4b in the next 23 hours.

 

[NUFAN]

I don't get why I passed

Sorry Jamee PASS means successful

So you need to repick round3 (strike rate over 85), your round 4 answer is all good.
