I'll start another thread now for the actual selections. When it is your turn, go nuts. LL has first pick.

Before I take my pick in the other thread, can I just get some clarification on the parameters:

Are we counting the 30s and the 00s as decades that we have to pick from?
Yeah just to confirm POBT, 8 of your players will consist of one player form the:

30's
40's
50's
60's
70's
80's
90's
00's

Your other 3 can be from any decade (although you are only allowed a max of 2 players from one decade).
 
This time footy is replaced by cricket. The aim of the game is to see who could draft the best possible "Test World XI" as judged by a poll amongst other members.

are they all Australian or is this an international side?

LL, it is international.

Grim, you are up next.
 
Grim, you are up next.

Yeah, look, I might have to sit this one out. Please carry on without me. I'll adjudicate if need be, but I'm still a bit exhausted from the other draft games. The new order is:

1. Lady Lawrence - Mark Taylor
2. POBT - Garfield Sobers
3. Sherminator
4. CoZi
5. Warwick
6. toddy

7. toddy
8. Warwick
9. CoZi
10. Sherminator
11. POBT
12. Lady Lawrence

LL, would you have chosen someone different if you were picking an international side?
 
The Welsh Queenslander born in Papua New Guinea?

If we are going to base these things on where someone grew up, there won't be many "Englishmen" for LL to choose from.;)

LL, not sure about anyone else but I'm happy for you to change your first pick if you like.

I agree. LL may have chosen the same but if she does want to change, I think she should be given the option. Sobers is already taken though.

Ok that's cool. We could send you our picks if we aren't going to be on for a while. We should have a time limit as well, so we aren't waiting forever for someone's pick. I understand at least one player has school which is fair enough - maybe a limit of 24 hours before you lose your turn. Or even if you log on and take your pick, and maybe send a PM to someone else with a shortlist of 2 or 3 players you want to select with your next turn, if you know you wont be on for a while. If Grim is happy to get those PMs, it would be very helpful.

Also, is CoZi still playing? She didn't seem to understand what she needed to do.

I just hope that if toddy pms me his picks, I don't accidently call out the wrong name.
