@Magrat Garlick and @Teuton up.

I'm loving this parallelism and how it's bypassing bottlenecks in the system. This is how multithreading works at making your computer faster kids.

Being camped at the bottom of the round lets you accept your fate with the pick order and just focus on the necessary categories

Being camped at the bottom of the round lets you accept your fate with the pick order and just focus on the necessary categories

Conversely, having an early pick makes you focus on categories where the talent pool is being drained quickly.

Conversely, having an early pick makes you focus on categories where the talent pool is being drained quickly.

That's what I think having a late pick does moreso though. The early pick just makes you want to keep an early pick. If the pick order was random/reverse Jackson would have gone ages ago. Hell he was originally picked in round 1 by RH who probably thought it was a snake draft

 

[JOJOXI]

Oddly the 2 main times I've had a key pick I highlighted from early in the round it was chosen by the person right before me (Barrington and Dhoni), perhaps 2nd or 3rd to last pick is the way to go!

 

[stephen]

After learning how the draft worked I've been primarily focused on the categories hardest to fill with great players and only using the turn order as a tie breaker.

 

[stephen]

I just realised that Hussey is the only player I've picked who doesn't have either of there names starting with a B.

 

[Line and Length]

Having picks in the 100s and other high categories will allow participants to jump up the order in later rounds.

 

[trundler]

Tate, CMac and Prince Ranji going in quick succession is less than ideal. Knew Weekes wasn't going to last either though.

Yeah I'm thrilled that Cowie was still available from the 1-9 bracket as he was the 3rd player I thought of after the 2 great South Africans

Decisions, decisions!

Lohmann going off the board forces my hand re bowlers. I'll take Shoaib Akhtar (46)
