Coincidentally you're at the top for the next three

I get screwed over after that though. Look at rounds 6-7 and 8-9. Ugh... Damnit, that is when all the best players have gone and you swoop in with those surprise picks. Right now everything is pretty straight-forward.

King Pietersen is the luckiest.

If anyone thinks I've cheated or done anything unfair let me know. I can assure you I haven't though .

 

[drainpipe32]

Don't worry mate, I know you haven't cheated.

Order for the rest of the draft created using Random Draft Order Generator. I'm not sure how Harishan made the orders but I wanted to leave it to chance. Please add it to the first post.

It's the snake system where whoever picks first in the first round must pick last in the following round.

The new system you've generated seems a bit err...random to me (yeah I know it's meant to be :laugh), I like a set system myself. Thats my 2 cents but honestly I don't care either way.

If keeping the original system, maybe people who don't like their spot can do some swapping. I don't mind picking back to back if someone wants to swap out of the end of round spots, whatever. Or I'll pick in the middle every time. Don't care, but if anyone's got a preference and wants to swap, speak up.

 

[King Pietersen]

Imran Khan

One of the great all-rounders. An inspirational captain, a brilliant batsman and a magnificent bowler. Imran managed 3709 ODi runs at an average of 33.41 as well as 182 wickets at 26.61, and is a World Cup winning captain. Awesome cricketer.

Ugh, a big flip you, Dan. He was my next pick :. You don't even need him . You already have Kallis.

You're up TumTum.

shravi added 2 Minutes and 10 Seconds later...

TBH, I really couldn't care less about the order at this stage which is why I just used that generator. I just want to get it done somehow. That's our first objective at this stage lol.

:laugh Sorry, you could have still have had him too, as I wanted Wasim or Hadlee, can never have enough world class all-rounders!

Any chance getting a full list of the players already picked?

Yea you guys should def keep this in order so later on people can see who was selected or not.
Also maybe send the guy picking after you a message on his profile. So KP would send a msg to TumTum and then he would send it to the guy thats next in line.

Well I think we should just reverse the order of round 3 to get round 4 for starters. If people want to change the system after round 4 that's the time to do it because the snake system 'finishes' after every second round. So TumTum should get 2 picks here as the last of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th.

Good idea. I'll remember to do this in future.

Could you make the order for the rest of the draft then? I still don't understand how it works. We'll just ask Cricketman to put it into the first post.

Seems a little unfair that TumTum gets two of those double picks. He has already had one.

Alrighty, here's what it should look like:
Round 1
1.1 - Howsie (Sachin Tendulkar)
1.2 - shravi (Adam Gilchrist)
1.3 - Harishan (Michael Bevan)
1.4 - StinkyBoHoon (Sanath Jayasuriya)
1.5 - Gazza (Ricky Ponting)
1.6 - sifter132 (Sir Viv Richards)
1.7 - King Pietersen (Jacques Kallis)
1.8 - TumTum (Glenn McGrath)

Round 2
2.1 - TumTum (Muttiah Muralitharan)
2.2 - KP (MS Dhoni)
2.3 - sifter132 (Joel Garner)
2.4 - Gazza (Wasim Akram)
2.5 - StinkyBoHoon (Allan Donald)
2.6 - Harishan (no pick - time limit reached. Moved to round 12.)
2.7 - shravi (Saqlain Mushtaq)
2.8 - Howsie (no pick - time limit reached. Moved to round 12.)

Round 3
3.1 - Howsie (Brian Lara)
3.2 - shravi (Matthew Hayden)
3.3 - Harishan Cricketman (Shaun Pollock)
3.4 - Stinky (Dean Jones)
3.5 - Gazza (Shane Warne)
3.6 - sifter (Sir Richard Hadlee)
3.7 - KP (Imran Khan)
3.8 - TumTum

Round 4
4.1 - TumTum
4.2 - KP
4.3 - sifter
4.4 - Gazza
4.5 - StinkyBoHoon
4.6 - Cricketman
4.7 - shravi
4.8 - Howsie

Seems a little unfair that TumTum gets two of those double picks. He has already had one.

Well they're the only picks he's had! You've got players 3 already, he's only got 2. Plus you've picked ahead of him in rounds 1 and 3, it's only fair that he pick ahead of you in rounds 2 and 4.

So look, we can keep going with this system for the rest of the draft, maybe you can trade spots with people if you like double picks or not, or we can come up with something else after round 4. But for now TumTum should be getting 2 picks.

I would prefer a random order round 5 and onwards, but that's just me. I think the double picks for TumTum and Howsie give too big an advantage, even if there are a number of picks in between.

OK cool - one vote for random order
