For reference, updated cumulative career spans by team have also been updated in the OP table. Imagine that will lead to a scramble for selections at the end of the draft, could get interesting.
With that team career limit of 100, it is gonna be serious fun at the end![]()
Has [MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION] made a preselection in the mod room?
[MENTION=139664]street cricketer[/MENTION] can make his pick now followed by [MENTION=208]amit[/MENTION], given that [MENTION=374]offstump[/MENTION] hasn't logged in for almost a week.[MENTION=374]offstump[/MENTION] you're next.
You mean Murli Vijay or Murali Karthik?![]()
My picks - Rohit Sharma & Shane Bond
My next pick is![]()
We are doing a Test draft, not a ODI or T20I draft![]()
mods, [MENTION=138771]Firebat[/MENTION], any pre-selections in the MRR forum?
Also [MENTION=140824]Last Monetarist[/MENTION] the cumulative year total in the table above is a bit out; it should be final year - starting year + 1
Not trying to hate but Sachin really got picked after guys like Yasir Shah and Swann lol what
Not sure [MENTION=149054]shamaan[/MENTION] is gonna post, perhaps [MENTION=139595]Ab Fan[/MENTION] might have his pick and shamaan can have his selection whenever he logs in.
Matt Prior [MENTION=149054]shamaan[/MENTION]
That's why you make plan b and cEveryone who I had shortlisted are getting picked one by one![]()
This feels a bit like cheating:
Barry Richards and Graeme Pollock.
Perhaps the one and only occasion when I will be slightly pleased from a sporting perspective that those great South African players didn't play more test matches.
Over to [MENTION=139314]ARK Rafay[/MENTION] again.
I pick the legendary leg spinner Richie Benaud. Great record in India.
Starting the selections of players with no matches in India...
noooo, u have thrown a spanner in the works for me, back to drawing board
Lmao this [MENTION=139595]Ab Fan[/MENTION] is picking whatever player I have in my mind. Did it with Sehwag, Root and now Benaud![]()

[MENTION=149054]shamaan[/MENTION] you're up next.

Back to me, [MENTION=149054]shamaan[/MENTION] can make his picks later
Don't know how Saqlain Mushtaq hung around so long with his record in India, so I'll pick him
[MENTION=56933]ElRaja[/MENTION]
[MENTION=149054]shamaan[/MENTION] when he realised [MENTION=151648]therealAB[/MENTION] took advantage of him in the game.

This draft is becoming like the squid game![]()

I was thinking this initially but that permutation becomes a bit over-restrictive in some cases. For example, Shane Warne started his career in Jan 92 and finished exactly 15 years later in Jan 2007, using the mooted formula would add an extra year to his career for no reason.
Think it's going to be a difficult condition to meet for a few posters (given how some have gone all guns blazing in their first few picks), that the draft will become a bit farcical by the end if we add 11 extra years to the career spans of all the teams in effect.
I'd propose limiting it such that the minimum span for a player must be 1, so that if someone wishes to pick Ollie Robinson, we add 1 to the cumulative career span rather than 0.
What if someone picks Axar Patel. He debuted this year and he shouldn't be available for free. Deduct 1 year of cumulative career span if someone picks Axar Patel but I do agree final year-starting year is good. We can ignore a few months up/down. Adding 1 to it means cumulative span allowed will also have to be increased to 110
Yes, choosing a player that has played less than a year of international cricket will be subject to adding 1 to the career span.
[MENTION=139664]street cricketer[/MENTION] playing the waiting game like Thala![]()
[MENTION=208]amit[/MENTION] has chosen his picks in MRR:
Alan Davidson and Jim Laker.
lob back to [MENTION=139664]street cricketer[/MENTION]
I choose the greatest spinner of all time - Axar Patel.
