Following on from the ODI Country/Average Combo draft recently ran by Teuton this will be a similar Test version of that draft.
Rules
* You have to pick 1 player for each batting/bowling average category
* You will have to pick players from at least 10 cricketing nations (West Indies counts as 1 nation)
* Wicketkeepers selected have to have kept in at least half of their Test matches. Here is a list of everyone that has kept - the list has their numbers of matches as keeper and matches as fielder. As long as their matches as keeper is the same or higher as their matches as fielder they are eligible to be selected as a keeper. Those not eligible to be selected as keepers can still be selected as specialist bats.
The batting/bowling averages you have to pick a player for
* 6 batting categories - 51+ Bat, 47-50,99 Bat, 43-46.99 Bat, 39-42.99 Bat, 35-38.99 Bat, 30-34.99 Bat
* 4 bowling categories - 0-22.99 Bowl, 23-26.99 Bowl, 27-30.99 Bowl, 31+ Bowl
* 1 'other' category (this other pick can be anyone and have any average/s as long as they allow you to continue to adhere to nationality restrictions. A 5th bowler, 7th batter, specialist wicketkeeper, all-rounder. You will need to let me know who you are picking for the 'other' category at the point when such a pick would otherwise be ineligible.)
You are allowed to change a player category from one of the batting/bowling categories to the other category or vice-versa as long as your final team fits the criteria.
The 6 players picked on their batting average would have to bat in the top 7 and the 4 bowlers picked on their bowling average will have to bat at 7-11. As long as these criteria are met the 1 other pick can bat anywhere in the order.
Let me know if you have any further questions not addressed in the opening post
EDIT
No Bradman
Just like in the ODI version of this draft - you can pick a player for their batting average and layer choose to select them for their bowling average instead as long as that bowling average category isn't already filled (and vice-versa) And of course if picked on their bowling average they would now have to bat between 7-11 rather than 1-7.
8 hour timeouts although 'timeout clock' will only start 12 hours after start of draft
