The first Cricket sheep thread

Who's left? Akshay only or more?
Not sure. I see only NM updated by KM for R3. I know Harshad's R3 pick so will update that now. For, rest at least I haven't received the picks.
 
Only if you had been that nice earlier. :(

After waxing lyrical about the invincibles that much you really think I would've let Davo/Lindwall slip away to someone else? :D

I actually didn't want Davidson to go to anyone and had to block him. Didnt even think much before picking him for round 1. I was sure one of you, NM or Crappy would have gone for him. With so many getting their picks in the first round, thought Lindwall must also have gone but still decided to take a punt on him. Thats two rounds worth of picks gone just for blocking some one and taking a punt on someone, who in all likelihood was already taken.

Brutal.

Surprised no one went for Ray earlier, absolute dream of a pace frontman. In an ideal world I'd have him and Miller opening the attack.

Criteria 9 and 10
Criteria 9 and 10

You guys have to pick two players from the blocked player list. If one player from the two has already been picked by the other player then it'll go down as a Fail pick. For example if someone picks Tendulkar and Gavaskar and other picks Tendulkar and Lara, then the picks of Lara and Gavaskar will go down as successful pick but the player will have to pick a different player in the next round. Also just to raise the ante, the sheeps in this round will not come from the blocked player list but will be selected by the SHEEP COMMITTEE.

GOOD LUCK!
