I thought that perhaps it would have led to discussions on potential underrated players but yes I agree with your point. So I should make it open then?

Here is the Qpee, for a Draft idea here...how's about a Draft where you think players were truly underrated in their teams after they retired? Being from Trinidad, I think of Mervyn Dillon in particular. He was a good fast bowler, but I mean, he never got his due did he? Tony Cozier mentioned...

LAMO!

Found my old thread again. Been restarting writing. Again, more on the horror side of things. Still want to complete an entire book on Uncle Johannes and Damien but in the meanwhile here's this. ALL TEXT COPYRIGHT @qpeedore 2024, FIRST ONLINE PRIVELEGES GIVEN FREELY TO PLANETCRICKET...

Ricardo Powell was an awesome cricketer. Great fielder no matter where you put him but usually close in because his hand speed was second to none. He also ran like lightning between the wickets. His namesake Daren Powell didn't fare as well but you could count on him for one thing and one thing...

Hey man @Aislabie sure I'll give it a go. I'm a glutton for punishment. Give me hard or impossible and I'll make my picks hopefully by the weekend

I'm a medical doctor. If you need advice, PM me.

One wonders if one can do an impossible mission without the players in the Draft...

So, as one of my first "duties" back on here, as it were...I'm offering, if he will allow me @Aislabie, to do an in-depth analysis of the final teams once the Draft is over.

PM me dude.

The Qpee may be back guys. Hi to all, and if you don't quite know me, hello and happy to meet all of you new members. @Aislabie you still around dude?

I'll observe and comment.

No, no, we all know I don't accept nominations for anything anymore. I will try to nominate the people I think are great at the different categories soon.

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. You are fielding at square leg, and the batsman absolutely smashes one into your body. In self defense you throw...

Questions are open for Round 3 of this discussion. And I'll actually open the questions myself. Working. Covid is still around and although I'm not directly dealing with confirmed covid cases anymore, the variants are such that one might have had covid and not even know it. My boss says that...

Batman, with all the new rules about concussions etc, you really expect a collapsed player to continue batting after he's revived? Joker does not agree. He's back in the hut almost immediately, even if in all the time it will take for a stretcher to come onto the field he recovers and says he's...

Hmm. The rules have probably changed and I wasn't aware. I'd go with what Parth said about this. The fielding captain should ideally withdraw the appeal in the spirit of the game. But the batsman should also retire hurt to get properly treated in any case. I think in the circumstances it...

Invalid. The par score is not one to be tied. You must be above that score for a victory. In the case of a team making the par score it's a win for the team bowling second. EDIT: as to the other issue, the ball is generally declared dead when it settles into the hands of the keeper or a...

Thanks @Parth D and @CerealKiller . The first one was really written off of a pure word and thought association from me, nothing HAD to rhyme or even make sense so that's why it didn't. The second was, I sort of was in that stage between asleep and awake and I got the first few lines and I just...

I will never sleep knowing you're out there. Lol. Yes The growl tags are meant to be there. EDIT: To those of you who are new, or who may not know, myself and Parth have had a sort of Batman/Joker relationship over the years. We compliment each other's personas in a way, but we don't take it...
