Following off from the forwards edition, we're starting at Z and heading towards A. The rules are the same as in that draft except for the following additions: there will be 10-hour timeouts (except for round 1, which remains 12 hours), and Bradman is available.
Note that if the participants are similar to last draft I will endeavour to make the round 1 order the reverse of that draft.
For new participants, here are the rest of the rules. This is a variable order draft. Players are picked in reverse alphabetical order according to their surnames as listed in Statsguru (link). That's most players' surname (Billy Zulch), but for Pakistani and Bangladeshi players often their first name (Zulfiqar Babar). Note that "Mc" and "Mac" precede "Ma" (so Nathan McSweeney comes after Mahmudullah).
The key part is that there are no rounds after round 1. Thereafter, the order simply goes to the drafter whose most recent pick's name is latest in the alphabet until each drafter has picked 11 players
You can pick multiple players whose names start with the same letter and there is no requirement that any letters must be picked. Players who did not play any tests are still eligible; in case of doubt of their surname, message me.
