4th Criteria
OK, so 7 sheeps to assign. I will think over it after dinner.

4th criteria:
Pick a player who has ten or more ducks in international cricket.

Only Don Bradman is exempted from this criteria.
 
I was expecting other English men to go before Thrope,FS

International cricket? So 10 ducks in ODIs and tests combined?

Only test I think, I didn't ask KM about this. Valid doubt but we are keeping everything to test only till now so I assume should be test only.

Yes. All players in history eligible except Don.

You make the call then and announce that 10 or more ducks in tests, ODIs don't count so that we all play by the same rules.
 
feck.... I typed my mail and first entered Thorpe's name, then had a doubt if someone else might have gone for him, then typed in Langer and was about to hit send before backing out.. before finally making my pick. But I am very surpirsed by 1 or 2 very obvious omissions there. I was certain someone would go for them, else I would have opted for them instead of the name I picked (who isn't all that bad either). btw, @The Man Himself , can you thread mark the Current squads and the most recent updated block list of players.
 
crappy is lucky with sheeps. Nick Knight is a tidy player iirc or was that in ODI's?

ODIs.
Sheeps should be judged by test record only..and of course the arguments the players will put for their team later. I have tried to keep sheeps as close in test record to each other as possible.
 
After seeing some of the guys picks, I regret nothing.

Edit: FFS just thought of a great one for the last round
 
Uhmm... I don't know if this is correct but Sir Don Bradman had only 7 ducks. So he would have been ineligible anyways, if I am not mistaken. Am I correct ?
