Test Career Chain Draft

Forgot about this. The rules are:

You pick a player whose test career has overlapped with the player picked by the drafter immediately before you in the order.

For example, if the player before you picks Aubrey Faulkner (career 2 January 1906 to 28 June 1924) then you can pick Herbert Sutcliffe (career 14 June 1924 to 29 June 1935) but not Bill Ponsford (career 19 December 1924 to 22 August 1934).

We'll try no timeouts because otherwise you can play unfairly to your advantage whilst holding up the draft.

The player the first drafter picks from is Mahmudullah (career 9 July 2009 to 7 February 2020). Please state the dates of the player's career when making your pick.

Bradman is eligible.

There is a new order every round.

R1 order:
  1. JOJOXI
  2. Fuller Pilch
  3. ankitj
  4. trundler
  5. ataraxia
  6. Pothas
  7. honestbharani
  8. Himannv
  9. kingkallis
  10. Michaelf7777777
  11. Teuton
If you want to join you slot in at the end of round 1.

@JOJOXI is up to pick from Mahmudullah.

Really stuck between 3 players. Need to think about this.
Likewise, after my pick and about 5 minutes before your Murali pick (1st time around) I had a proper look and hadn't thought about a couple of players who qualified at first but decided to stick with my pick as was likewise unsure and if it ever gets back to the late 2000s/2010s then S Smith is the standout Test player

@trundler is up; just noting that if a player's retirement and another player's debut (or vice versa) are on the same date then picking one of the players after the other is an eligible pick.
