Will send it in a couple of hours.
I'm going to busy for a while
Sent mine to @Edgar Allan Pillow @Skizzo @Pat_Mustard @harms . Please start this whenever one of you are online.
Looks fine, thanks a lot!
Can you just add this at the top of the OP?
Welcome to the Test Cricket Decades Draft Round 1 match up. The two teams will be assessed based on a 3 match test series on the surfaces mentioned below. Only the test performances of the said players will be used for evaluation, no other format has any weight in the match up. The surfaces are:
1. Flat batting pitch with little help for any bowlers.
2. A greentop that aids pace bowling.
3. A slow dustbowl that aids spin bowling.
Please vote for the team that you think will prevail at the end of the series.
Done.
Just looking back at this and I had quite a good lineup.
01. Barry Richards
02. Hanif Mohammad
03. Peter May*
04. Graeme Pollock
05. Graham Thorpe
06. Jack Gregory
07. Richard Hadlee
08. Don Tallon
09. Dale Steyn
10. Bill O'Reilly
11. Shoaib Akhtar
Probably good enough to win this after a reinforcement or two. Too bad real life etc. came in the way around that time.

You had an excellent team
Yep. For sure would've been close to the top.
@NM when will you be available?
@NM Where are you mate?
Let's wait for a couple of days, else @Interval gets a bye to the final.
I can do it this week will send something in by tomorrow.
Cheers.
sent it in yesterday
Time for reinforcement?
Cheers Moby, will post my pick shortly.
I'll take Dale Steyn
Cool. Set up the date and send your write ups.
@Interval are you ok with Monday ?
Cool
Shared my write up.
I'll do it later in the evening
That would be fine.
Now that this is over, I think the whole 1 vs 1 matchup thing really dragged this thing out. Seemed like an endless exercise, particularly since writeups are weird to do in cricket drafts because cricinfo does a better intro of players anyway, so all you need are links to their articles and that should be sufficient.
Having said that, I did like the idea of reinforcements since you can only strengthen within the original draft rules.

Cheers @Moby for the draft!
Thanks for the patience guys! Dragged a bit but hopefully everyone enjoyed the drafting.
