How the feck
ODI Goat Draft | RedTiger wins!

FFS twice in a row. 
This does not make any sense.
You can set the criterias ensure balance is preserved as best as possible. After that it's up to me how I want to pick my team. That was the whole point of having this draft in a sheep format to ensure people did not pick ridiculously unbalanced teams. Also, some of the players are so shit it's hard to tell whether they are batsmen or bowlers. Subjective criterias are not a good idea.
We will give the criterias to try and ensure managers pick balanced teams. Unfortunately, it's not an exact science and a bowler specific criteria does not mean there won't be batsman who actually makes the cut.
As the draft is about making inferior teams than the other managers, there's a chance someone will try and be a smart ass by drafting just 3 bowlers or 4 batsmen etc. In such a case, these teams will be penalised at the end.
It's entirely upto you to pick your team as you wish, just ensure its a balanced team having enough batsmen and bowlers.
What I mentioned doesn't impact anyone who doesn't plan to pick an unbalanced team rather than an inferior one.
Man I hate this guy
Laughing at the possibility of murdering the bowlers in the draft thanks to skills and 2mufc0.
FFS @Skills how is this possible!!!
I don't really agree with this. The objective is to quite literally pick the worst team possible and if people are clever in their picks then so be it. By and large the criterias will ensure teams are reasonably balanced.
Take for example the guy I picked in the first round. He wasn't a batsman or a bowler for that matter. I shouldn't be penalized for picking up a truly wank player. That's the aim of the game!

I don't know who you picked but you won't be penalised for a wank player because he'd have been wank at something, be it a wank batsman or a bowler. I'm not saying you have to pick 4 bowlers who could bowl 10 good overs, just that you have to pick enough bowling options to cover 50 overs.
As I said, it won't be an issue unless someone deliberately sets up to not even have enough bowling options for 50 overs or picks just 4 batsmen etc.
Unfortunately, the guy was a wicketkeeper and I have no doubt there will be a wk criteria later on so that should be kept it mind.

I don't get it. The idea is to have the worst team. So after picking the team you swap your team with your opponent? What if someone deliberately picks a good team knowing it will be swapped with their opponent?
parthiv patel picked the day he gets a test recall

swap? its just arguing you are worse than your opponent in the match?
Then once his actual team(the one the opposition manager is controlling) has won, he gets knocked out and the other manager proceeds on with his actual team that lost.I don't get it.

It's not decided yet but it'll most likely to be done the swap teams way. This to prevent managers from playing bowlers as openers, batsmen as tail enders, batsmen opening the bowling and shit like that.
I knew it . Couldn't i get Viru instead .
. Couldn't i get Viru instead .I expected a lower of standard of shittiness. Some actual decent players being picked.
Ah feck, we'll figure something out.
Or why don't you frame the question as "which team will lose?" and the manager who gets most votes progresses? It is a race to the bottom anyway so let people argue how shit their own team is.
too funny.I knew it
Agreed.
A lot of players will have good first class records which is why they get picked in the first place. It's an ODI draft though so no first class stuff.
Ban such jokers.
I was just exaggerating to prove a point. No one will be that blatant but the last thing I want is to argue with someone that he's deliberately screwing his team to whatever degree.
Criteria 3
Block sent
Waiting 10 more minutes for @Skills pick then going to go ahead if it's not forthcoming.
