Disappointed that it starts with Ind-Pak 1989, I was hoping for Alviro Petersen to be starting player

Wasim Akram

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

I’d suggest to post the scorecard as well as three players per test rule exists

 

[Teuton]

Yes that will be the best way to nominate where the close contact occurred.

No need in first pick since that test was the instruction but please do for the rest.

I will record and post

Pick . By - Player Test Count Next
1 . Red Hill - Wasim Akram (Pak) 15/11/1989 (1) 23/11/1989
2 . stephen -

 

[stephen]

I'll take Imran Khan, who played in both eligible tests. I will assume that I've picked him from the second test. His next test is

Pak vs India, 1 Dec 1989 (test 1130)

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

For stephen it will be 23/11/1989

 

[Teuton]

Milenko timed out, trundler can jump in.

For a catch up pick, you can only pick from players eligible when it was your turn.

Conceivably that means more than 3 players could be picked from a test. It doesn't break the game IMO, but it is a possibility.

 

[Teuton]

Oh yeah, the max of 3 will still apply.

 

[trundler]

So I must pick either from that test or the next one Immy played, right? Tendulkar qualifies for both.

 

[Teuton]

You can actually pick from any of the 3 games - the original game or either of the 2 'next' tests. None are at max yet obviously.

So of course you can pick Tendulkar, you just need to nominate which test he got infected , which will affect which matches the next picks can come from

 

[trundler]

Let it be the 3rd one

4th test from the series

 

[trundler]

Somehow, this is the second chain draft in my short time here. There have been 3 related to initials in that timeframe too.

Waqar Younis

Scorecard - 1989-1990 Pakistan v India - 09/12/1989
4th test from the series

Rain affected match?

 

[ataraxia]

This is a bit messy but I'll take Javed Miandad and I think this opens up Scorecard - 1989-1990 Australia v Pakistan - 12/01/1990.

 

[Teuton]

So you can pick Miandad no problem. But he has to be infected in the 1st 2nd or 3rd test since you had pick 3 in the draft. The test you mentioned was opened up by the Waqar pick. To save you having to overthink a likely trivial decision, I will just say that it was the 3rd test unless told otherwise.

So I now think that the most helpful way to say the infection test and post is the 'next' scorecard link since that's what people can refer to to add to eligible players
