Wooooooooooo
The first Cricket sheep thread
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
The round will be very fun, but like NM said, would be better off as the last two since they can plan better and if they are indeed given sheep, maybe you could give them sheep for the position they ask. And I think restricting it to one criteria would mean that most people are likely to get their picks, but two does the reverse. So that's your call. I also like Varun's idea of blocked players from one round going into the next one. That'll be really interesting..Not really
Cricket player are such a small pool. I thought this round would be fun, should I just restrict it to one player?
Criteria 9 and 10
Pick two players any of your choice. Any player who isn't Don Bradman, not chosen by anyone else or isn't on the blocked list is eligible.

This should get over fairly quickly. Unless Crappy fecks it up.
Cool! Same rules as before regarding blocks i.e. if you pick X and Y, and someone picks Y and Z, X and Z will still go through?
Yes.
Yup I think that would apply the same..
Is still 3 rounds? @KM

and 24 or 48 hours?
I'm gonna go for two extremely controversial choices, in my eyes they are two unquestionable greats of the game and perfect for my team. Let's see how it pans out.

?You got your wish, now go crazy with your picks...
Cannot answer that.From the Invincibles
btw @KM, you could delete the earlier threadmark for C9 and C10 or delete that post altoegether.
That's such a cop put for a sheep draft.
How about changing this to atleast 2 players who appeared in the same test match and then restricting people to pick from the same match.
Mani's gone to bed.You got your wish, now go crazy with your picks...
Atleast start searching for your opening batsman and middle order guy
The list is ready, we have been getting our picks through early last couple of picks so there's been plenty of planning ahead.Atleast start searching for your opening batsman and middle order guy
Guys, does anyone know if we get 3 chances at this round?
Same format as earlier mate. So yeah, 3 chances with 2 picks every chance.
Lol yeah
You Inception-ed the shit out of this idea as a criteria into KM didn't you....
Probably played in the 1890's then.
Famous last words!
If 1 player gets in and 1 doesn't do you still get 2 picks in round 2?

No, I genuinely didn't think it'd be fair to have sheer luck play such a big role at this stage.But it's still gonna happen for the last two picks bud. But yeah, carrying one sheep then is fine I guess.
I'd prefer having just 1 round like that or the rolling blocked list idea that I gave if we have 2 rounds. A middle ground is needed though, you need sheep too to make it fun.
Who's my sheep?
Naa.
You need more English players, I propose Alex Tudor.
Edit: just realised he doesn't fit the criteria...
I wish I got Alec Stewart in the keeper round
Having a good keeper batsman would have made things so much easier at this stage

Most of us have been online since the criteria was announced, how many left to submit?
What's the constant fascination with this? It's a deadline for a reason.
It's a quiet night here at work and I'd really like to pass my time with this draft... So the quicker everyone starts picking then the quicker I can start wasting time
So things keep moving along at a steady pace. If we stick to deadlines, we'd be using 2 days for each criteria and this would die out quickly.
