    The UnderRated Draft

    Recently faded-away players - from each nation - A collection

    Selection: Impossible

    Official, confirmed, verified "You are the umpire" thread

    1. There is no television referral system in place. A bowler has had a couple of appeals turned down. He asks you why you said not out. Can you tell him why you made your calls? 2.
