Test Cricket Eras Draft

[Danger in Texas]

This is how it works:

We have 12 players. Each player drafts one test cricketer from 12 different eras. The eras are:

Before 1910
1910-1919
1920-1929
1930-1939
1940-1949
1950-1959
1960-1969
1970-1979
1980-1989
1990-1999
2000-2012
Left over players (any era)

If you have pick 1 in before 1910, you have 12 in 10-19, 11 in 20-29, 10 in 30-39 and so on.

You can pick any player that has played in the decade you are picking in.
A vote will decide the winner (unless we can come up with a better idea).
Choose a team name and a home ground (any country).

Nah, he can only be picked once. Say, he is picked in 1930's, he cannot be picked again.

 

[Marklar_33]
