The 12th round has a surprise in store for everyone, unless you guys pussy out, it'll be the most epic round in any cricket draft ever.
ODI Sheep draft - Strict deadlines from now
- Thread starter Varun
- Start date
Atleast both of my picks failed... bwahahaha
Yeah you definitely came out a lot better from that round.
Oh well, not really complaining after I had a decent luck of some good picks.
3 people including myself have failed with 1 or more Sri Lanka players, I think I know where this is heading with the round 2 picks 
The good thing for you is that Crappy probably won't go to SL again and you need to pick someone from Aravinda's era which is not a bad SL era to pick from. Obviously, Aldo is slightly screwed beause if he has who I think he does, his pool is limited to very few.3 people including myself have failed with 1 or more Sri Lanka players, I think I know where this is heading with the round 2 picks
Stayed away from the SL pool since I knew it would be a cluster, but realizing that I'm in trouble too!
Well that turned out nicely 
Come on guys, get a bloody move on!!!
I think @Varun said 6:30 am/pm bst will be the cycle henceforth
Yes. That works for you, right @Raees?
I'm actually upset I didn't go for even better players than the safe picks that passed

We were creating scenarios of what we'd do when Anwar would go through and Abbas wouldn't. Would've been really problematic. We were half sure he would be blocked
@NM edit that to make it 9 & 10 please. Thanks. Threadmarked.
Perera > Flintoff
@NM it's also missing the last 2 picks for Interval/KM and Aldo.
Clear case of trying to get people bet on the out and out favourites by letting people think they are playing with two man less and reaping all the rewards later.
Genius.
@crappycraperson super picks. We were wondering why Starc hasn't been picked yet
Starc was the first name I pencilled down after reading the criteria, and then forgot about it equally quickly.
Thankfully I didn't miss out on the bowler at least.
