It's back!
The widely popular Test Cricket Eras Draft is back for a second year, with eight previous participants going around again, and four newcomers joining in.
How does it work? Well, this year, it has changed slightly. Each coach will take part in a normal snake draft. The catch is, you have to end up with one player that has played in each of the following eras:
1877-1909
1910-1919
1920-1929
1930-1939
1940-1949
1950-1959
1960-1969
1970-1979
1980-1989
1990-1999
2000-2013
Wildcard (any era)
After the draft has been completed, a vote will take place to determine the winner of the draft.
Simple, isn't it? Not really. Well, not at all. This game requires extreme strategic skills, which I'm sure all of you drafters have.
Here is the order:
So newcomer JP Sauce has the privilege of taking the best cricketer in the history of the game. It will also be interesting to see whether Noobz0r takes Fleming and thorne takes Marcus North with their first picks.
Participants will also be asked to select a team name and ground.
Good luck to all fellow coaches. Now let's get drafting!
