Cricket Draft

[lifetime fan]

I didnt know 'phone a friend' was in the rules. Seem to remember insinuations being made in my direction at the start of the game :whistle:

 

 

And the senile ol' cunt couldn't even get that right.

[Guest LFD]

Are we going to have an ODI version of this? Really enjoying it

 

The plan is to do a ODI one if this goes well.

 

Then if that goes well and people want to do another we can do an Ashes one.

Ganguly's a cunt, swerve!

So are plenty of others already picked, he's a quality cricketer though.

No doubt, trouble though. Don't suppose it matters too much in this game either.

He'll behave himself for me.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

He'll behave himself for me.

 

He won't, i've just offered him a packet of Cheese 'n' onion and 20o Camel ciggies to be out for a duck.

[Ian Sea]

I've slipped him a bag of KP Nuts to fall out with Viv Richards.

No one is that daft.

[King Emlyn]

I've a belter of a next pick...not an obvious choice I wouldn't have thought but a class cricketer, surprised he's left to be honest.

 

Just 4 rounds for him to not be picked.

I'm sweating on three that I'm very surprised are still available.

I have a horrible feeling we are all batting from the same crease.

There are still some very good picks left. When we go head to head I reckon the last pick or two will end up being the deciding factor in a lot of the ties.

That and the fact some people will vote regardless of who has which players. Or will the voting be only be those who are playing?

Not sure, that's a good question.

 

Think we were not allowed to vote for our own sides though which makes sense.

I agree with not voting for your own team, i also think the voting should be by those who are participating and have an interest in cricket, otherwise it could end up a farce. All fun though. If we had an app expert we could have programmed an app to except all the teams and worked out which team would win the game taking on board all the conditions.

[lifetime fan]

You don't need an app for that Gord. You need my team.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

You don't need an app for that Gord. You need my team.

 

After mine....goes without saying..

 

TBH i can see quite a few good teams shaping up. It will all come down to balance in the end, and like you say, the last 2/3 picks could prove to be vital.

 

It would be great do do this and have a panel of x/current players giving their input.

I agree, every side looks strong.

[lifetime fan]

As Gord says though there are some picks that 'fans' will appreciate their brilliance while the casual observer will have never heard of them.

 

Really looking forward to this getting to the knock out phase.

 

The 24 hour pick rule has worked very well too, fair play to LFD for that.

I agree, seems like a fair balance. You have to give people enough time to get their pick in but also keep the game ticking over. fair play to LSD...oops...LFD.

 

The knock out phase should be very interesting. I think everyone who votes should have to give their reasons why they vote and not just vote and fuck off. That way the voting is being kept to cricket fans.

I'd love to see the Sky Sports/TMS guys do the same draft, would be class. Great lunch time viewing/listening over a summer.

Anyone fancy a similar thing with Rugby after the cricket?

They should do it, a great format for a cricket programme.

[Fowlers God]

Just a quick one- who is voting for the teams? is this open to all TLW posters and are we who are partaking allowed to vote at all? people could vote through weaker teams for their own gain...
