Who has won nearly half of all 50-over World Cups in existence? A World Cup in every continent not inhabited by penguins? Or can put out at least ten different all-time ODI XIs without diluting the player pool the slightest? Yeah, there's only one answer.

After having gone through the draft threads in this section, I'm surprised someone hasn't hit this up already. So here I am, presenting y'all with the All-Time Australia ODI draft.

Everyone who ever appeared in a single ODI for Australia is eligible for selection here. Given the sheer number of ODI legends this land has produced, I would love for 8 sign-ups at the very least so we can do a small knockout tourney towards the close kinda like this.

Draft guidelines

I will post the ordered draft once I get the sufficient amount of signups. The same rules apply as in other drafts i.e the next person may pick if it's been more than 24 hrs and the person before hasn't picked their player, the player picked is invalid, and that you have to tag the person coming after you. It would also be appreciated if you can post a sentence or two about why you're picking a certain player - it doesn't have to be as detailed as this; something like the example posted below would more than suffice:

For eg - ":saf: :wkb: Ken McEwan - His entire first-class career between 1972/73 to 1991/92 coincided with South Africa's isolation from international cricket. In that time he racked up 26668 first-class runs at 41.73 with 74 hundreds, the second most by a non-Test player. Could also serve as a decent backup keeper when called upon."

So that's 11 picks per head plus one extra 12th man just for kicks. Also, please remember to tag the fella who's next to pick after you.
