[Van_Dyke]

Oh and kudos to Danger in Texas who actually came up with the draft in the first place.

 

[Mateyman]

I'm up for this. Did a similar one a while ago, was good

 

[Rustin Cohle]

In.

 

[The Speaker]

No Bradman rule?

Must have at least one player from x amount of teams?

 

[The_Reaper]

in

 

[Van_Dyke]

No Bradman rule?

Must have at least one player from x amount of teams?

I'm going to leave that one open.

 

[Oaktree]

Count me in.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Why not

 

[Carbine Chaos]

You should institute a rule for number of batsman, bowlers and keeper allowed per squad. 5-5-1

Surely people can decide upon the balance of their own squads?

I'll give it a whirl. Apologies if I'm ever a bit slow taking my pick though, work is busy at the moment.

 

[Van_Dyke]

I'll let the people decide the 12 players they want

 

[Super Hans]

Keen.

 

[The Speaker]

The beauty of cricket line-ups is that you can justify whatever balance you want, and you can change it on the fly.

Van_Dyke I'm in btw.

 

[Shiv]

Keen for this!

 

[gym4life]

In. Gonna go for Watson first pick .

 

[Jak!x]

I think I've snuck in to last place, wouldn't mind doing this. Had fun with the last one on here

 

[Van_Dyke]

Will cap it at 14

 

[t_94]

Count me in

 

[The Speaker]

Fourteen eh

 

[eth-dog]

Side:

1.

3. Bradman (1926-40)
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.

[Van_Dyke]

Close entries, will head on random.org in the next 30 mins or so.

 

[Van_Dyke]

eth-dog you are up first.

 

[Oaktree]

With picking each player from an era, is it based on the year of debut?

E.g. if a player debuted in say 1969 and played in the 1970's and 1980's, you would pick them in the 1961-1970 bracket.

All they have to do is play in that era. So Ponting could be any of the 90's, 2000, 2010 bracket.

Ok sweet, thanks for that.
