Sounds good.
All time ODI Draft
- Thread starter Skills
- Start date
Best ever ODI batsman in terms of average can't be selected 
Tough they miss out
Stick them with Europe.
Yeah could work. Would mean having to select shit from the likes of Zimbabwe and Bangladesh though.
Hmm. Ind, Pak, SL, Aus, NZ, SA, WI, Eng, Zim - that is 9 so you can ideally avoid shite like Bangladesh, etc. But still forced to pick Sri Lankan players, and nobody likes Sri Lankan players.Tough they miss out

Just go with 2/nation to keep it simple, then.

And are we penalizing Africa for not winning world cup with 2 picks from them?
can we have a rule where no one but me can pick paki players? thanks.
We can still pay them to lose though, right?
Done. I have dibs on all the West Indians and Australians in return.
Everyone else can scrape the barrel.
The mod has decided
We are going for 2 per nation because I don't like minnows.

This has most of the commonly used and most recent snake draft basic outlines - add them into the OP.
What fielding restrictions we using?
I liked the ones at the last world cup.
I liked the ones at the last world cup.
- 1st power play in overs 1-10;
- 1 batting and 1 bowling powerplay, must be used by the 40th over
- Maximum of 4 fielders outside of the in non powerplay overs
Can we use the 12th man as a Super Sub?
This reminds me of my schooldays when we used to play cricket using a book.
Keep it simple skills.
WTF is a super sub?
12th man is there to take part in the DHL Super Sixes competition during the break. Keep that in mind.
Original rules - fielding restrictions till 15 overs i.e. 2 outside the 30 yard circle. 5 for the remaining game.
"The Super Sub used to be a direct substitute for any one player in ODIs. The Super Sub had to be named before the game began (even before the coin was tossed), and he could replace any player from the playing XI at any point in the game.
But the concept of a Super Sub was different from that of the 12th man. Unlike the 12th man, Super Sub could bat, bowl, field or keep wicket once a player was replaced. Being a direct replacement, he couldn't bat if the player he replaced had already batted. Similarly if the player he replaced had already bowled his full quota of overs, the Super Sub couldn't bowl."
First ever Super Sub:
The Supersub rule would complicate it further. Lets keep it simple!
Two new balls.
Random draft.
Don't be so old fashioned. It would give the game an extra dimension.
We have 16, no? Get the order done and kick this off.
The first deadline starts once the first pick has been made. Not the last time I'll have to spoon feed.

We're not going to do it the kids way. No shortened boundaries, either.
We still need one more.
I'll take the last pick.
Are we doing cheerleaders?
Strategic time outs?
Do we have DRS?
No. There are too many Indians here (i.e. the BCCI) who I don't want to offend with such witchcraft.
How much conversation takes place in an hour... Skills, why do we need to PM the next in line ? Can't we just tag em' ? Also, what's the final verdict on the Nationality criteria ? Varun's idea was genuinely good imo, Nine nations to fill the 12 spots seems like a decent turnover. And this is an ODI draft right ? Not specific to WC correct ?
@VanGaalEra , playing solo or would you like to team up with VP ?
WC only. List of all players with 50+ games in WCs:
Oh, this will be tough.
Tough?Oh, this will be tough.
