That's sort of what I was thinking. The hardest part of the draft is the end, when picks are running dry

Yeah I see where you are coming from. Still think that one international player won't hurt..

The vote is going to be boring AS.
 
Yeah and Birts average of 35 is way superior... There is like zero talent this late in the draft...

Thoughts in everyone getting an international? Just thinking out loud, don't crucify me if you don't like it
As Eth-Dog said, it's an Australian Cricket Draft. ;)
 
Right

1 for, 3 against

It would bring this game back to life IMO. It really slowed when you stopped updating the lists. There aren't many players to pick from now, so having one exception wouldn't ruin this whole game, as you guys are suggesting

No. They must be playing FC cricket somewhere across the world and one form of the game in Aus (like Katich)

Meh, the draft was made to draft the Australian ranks
 
If we really want some new players in the draft, we could loosen the rules to include Hodge, Jacques, Warne etc. (not that I really mind either way, my team is already selected :p)
That's only a handful of players... I doubt there is even eight to go around...

ONE INTERNATIONAL player won't break the game... It might even get some of the other drafters to pop in more often

Don't lie, how cool does the concept sound? I know we are bending the rules a little, but this isn't the law or whatever. I don't understand why we must so called play by the rules, when our sole objective is to have fun. I'm sure I speak on others behalf when I say this is slowly turning into shit

It's an AUSTRALIAN cricket draft, not an Australian-plus-one-international-player cricket draft. It's like having a VFL draft and allowing each player to have 1 AFL player each, or having a NBL draft and letting each side having a NBA player each
 
I don't understand why we are limiting ourselves due to some rule that one guy over the Internet who you may never meet made.

DeeWong6996 the whole idea is that we draft AUSTRALIAN players. It's not our fault you don't know who to draft due to your ineptitude

I know that and I that makes it better when you have a full team. However, to be fair, there are very very few people left to draft of any real quality (Deewong's ability at drafting has little to do with the dearth of choices). There's about 3 decent batsmen left, and presumably they'll be snapped up soon.
Also, was anyone going to get tom cooper soon? I was quite pleased to get him.

Really, I only think there's one batsman left with an average that's worthy of being selected. Which I'll take right now (due to it being more than 12 hours). Wade Townsend (Qld). And no, I need an opener, not a middle-order batsman

If you are implying my rule then maybe look at who is running this game. :):P;)

Unsuprisingly (because my view will always be biased), looking over the team lists, I reckon I've got one of the better batting and bowling lineups.
Clear bias! :P

I reckon my bowling pips yours because:

Lyon>Beer
Faulkner=Butterworth
NCN=Putland
Hastings<Harris
Hopes>>>Lynn/Clarke as a 5th option

But I think my batting and yours are both the most solid line-ups. Reggie has a handy one as well. If he picks a spinner with his last pick he'll beat me as the best attack
