Ehhhhhh

Oh dear! You do have two picks left, I'm not quite sure how I missed you

:ind: :bat: MS DHONI So I've done the exact same thing as I did with Adam Gilchrist, and will be slotting in a strokemaking keeper-batter into my team as a specialist batter at number six. Though not remembered as so much of a Test batter, Dhoni's record at number six is stellar, averaging...

Okay, first of all: @Yash. has been absent for quite a long time and his team has been riddled with hilarious auto-picks. I think it's only fair to go back and right that with some proper picks instead. Current XI 1. 2. :ire: :bat: James McCollum 3. :nzf: :bat: Kane Williamson 4. :aus: :bat...

Hi guys, I would like to drop a quick apology in here for my own inactivity. I intend to go through this tomorrow and update everything, then we'll push on for the finish line

I'll also share the list of everyone's missions with you so you've got full information

Now I'm a bit slow on this, but I've just seen that @icyman is currently away for health reasons. As a result, I'm going to make some picks to round out his team, which he will have the option of changing at his convenience if he becomes available before draft's end. Icyman's XI so far: :eng...

:wi: :bwl: LANCE GIBBS I realise I've left it a long time without picking my spinner. I knew from the start that with only four realistic bowling options it would have to be someone who could bowl long, tireless spells, and for that task there was only ever one man in mind: West Indies' Lance...

@icyman is late; @Na Maloom Afraad it is time

With @Bigby Wolf and @pillowprocter having let me know about enforced absences, I'm going to make some picks to round off their teams. While this will mean making some picks ahead of where we currently are in the draft, it seems like the fairest way to handle the situation that won't cause any...

:saf: :bat: DUDLEY NOURSE Dudley Nourse is the batter who's made me leave out Virat Kohli from my side. Nourse averaged 53.81 in Test cricket while scoring at four runs per over, despite playing his entire career on uncovered pitches. His 34-Test career straddled World War Two, which meant that...

I'm afraid our man @Yash. is staring down the barrel of a couple of Auto Picks: ... if I'm honest, I'm not sure this team needed any more spinners. Random.org has not been kind. 1. 2. :ire: :bat: James McCollum (:redo:) 3. :nzf: :bat: Kane Williamson 4. :aus: :bat: Steve Smith 5. 6...

They are touring exhibition teams in basketball and baseball respectively

So I was chatting elsewhere about this and thought I'd bring it in here: what would a cricketing version of the Harlem Globetrotters or Savannah Banamas look like? My thoughts were that you'd probably take more inspiration from the Bananas and have specific rules and conditions for these...
