In order to bring this to a reasonable close, I'm going to do two auto-picks for @VC the slogger

The first is Ian Bradshaw, an ineffective left-arm seamer who took 9 wickets @ 60.00 apiece from his five Tests.

The second is Barlow Carkeek, a pre-war Australian keeper who could hardly hold a bat at all, and who didn't make up for it at all with only 16 runs and 6 dismissals from his six Tests.

However, there will need to be a third auto-pick, as David Capel is invalid: whatever way you dress it (with the Nawab representing either England or India) he makes the most recent pick from either of those two countries invalid. That most recent pick is Capel, so it is he who is invalid. His place is taken instead by Mluleki Nkala, whose ten Tests brought him only 187 runs @ 14.38 and 11 wickets @ 66.09. He was not a successful player at the highest level.

I know that's a bit of an invasion of VC's team, and it still technically leaves him with only 97 caps but I'll let it go.

The next thing will be to put together a Swiss bracket - unless everyone would rather a reverse knockout where it's just that the losing side progresses.
 
Aislabie's XI
1. :eng: :bat: Monkey Hornby
2. :aus: :bat: Walter Giffen
3. :nzf: :ar: Matt Poore
4. :wi: :bat: Floyd Reifer :c:
5. :aus: :bat: Jack Edwards
6. :saf: :bat: Charles Fichardt
7. :ban: :wk: Khaled Mashud
8. :ban: :ar: Mushfiqur Rahman
9. :zim: :bwl: Andy Whittall
10. :eng: :bat: Lord Hawke
11. :wi: :bwl: Brandon Bess

:tick: Pretty much the most toothless attack I could have selected. It comes to something when Matt Poore's part-time offies will be your spearhead.
:tick: I think we have only one player in our side with a Test fifty - the mighty Khaled Mashud at seven.
:x: Mashud and Mushfiq might be able to avert collapses, especially if one of them can link up with a stubborn Lord Harris.

Bevab's XI
1. :saf: :bat: Jacobus Duminy
2. :ind: :bat: Datta Gaekwad :c:
3. :nzf: :bat: Bill Playle
4. :aus: :bat: Peter McAlister
5. :eng: :ar: Jack Ikin
6. :sri: :bat: Jehan Mubarak
7. :nzf: :wk: Jock Edwards
8. :ind: :bat: Gogumel Kishenchand
9. :pak: :bwl: Mohammad Sami
10. :saf: :bwl: Lonwabo Tsotsobe
11. :sri: :bwl: Roger Wijesuriya

:tick: Not only would your team be pretty average cricketers, but they're almost all strong personalities who might not start taking each other out.
:tick: The spin attack is pretty much non-existent - Ikin and Wijesuriya have a combined average of 162, and even the apparently competent Mubarak never got a Test wicket.
:x: In Sami, you do have a genuine 90 mph fast bowler, who might be a weapon at some of these teams that are so filled with inept batsmen.

Bigby Wolf's XI
1. :nzf: :bat: Lawrie Miller
2. :ind: :bat: Aakash Chopra
3. :sri: :bat: Sanath Kaluperuma
4. :pak: :bat: Basit Ali
5. :aus: :bat: Craig Serjeant
6. :eng: :bat: Neil Fairbrother
7. :ind: :wk: MSK Prasad
8. :eng: :bwl: Gareth Batty
9. :ban: :bwl: Tapash Basiya
10. :ban: :bwl: Abdur Razzak
11. :saf: :bwl: Charl Langeveldt

:tick: In the likes of Miller and Fairbrother, there is a proven record of failure.
:tick: A good Bangladeshi contingent here, which is something every bowling attack in this draft probably wanted.
:x: Some of your players - especially Basit Ali and Charl Langeveldt - were perfectly competent.

blockerdave's XI
1. :zim: :ar: Trevor Gripper
2. :nzf: :bat: Blair Pocock
3. :eng: :bat: Matthew Maynard
4. :aus: :ar: Phil Carlson
5. :pak: :bat: Maqsood Ahmed
6. :ban: :ar: Alok Kapali
7. :saf: :wkb: Louis Stricker
8. :eng: :ar: Ian Salisbury
9. :nzf: :bwl: Harry Cave
10. :ban: :bwl: Manjurul Islam
11. :zim: :bwl: Everton Matambanadzo

:tick: The vast majority of players in this side have a consistent record of failure.
:tick: The spinning triple threat of Salisbury, Manjural and Kapali should be a threat only to the poor fielders cowering close to the bat.
:x: Technically, this side didn't include a Test wicket-keeper, but their first-class records show that either Maynard or Stricker could be mistrusted with that job.

CerealKiller's XI
1. :wi: :bat: Devon Smith
2. :wi: :bat: Rajendra Chandrika
3. :ind: :bat: Vikram Rathour
4. :pak: :bat: Shahid Saeed
5. :eng: :ar: Ravi Bopara
6. :nzf: :ar: Murray Chapple
7. :ind: :wk: Sameer Dighe
8. :aus: :bwl: John Hastings
9. :aus: :bwl: Bryce McGain
10. :ban: :bwl: Rubel Hussain
11. :ban: :bwl: Anwar Hossain Monir

:tick: Your side appears to have the holy grail: an all-Bangladeshi new ball attack.
:tick: Bryce McGain as the only spinner will be devastating.
:x: No fewer than four Test centuries permeate this XI, which does indicate a worrying level of competence.

Sinister One's XI
1. :ban: :bat: Mehrab Hossain
2. :aus: :bat: Ken Meuleman
3. :aus: :bat: Trevor Chappell
4. :eng: :ar: George Hearne
5. :sri: :ar: Asoka De Silva
6. :saf: :bat: Plum Lewis
7. :eng: :wk: Richard Blakey
8. :sri: :ar: Farveez Maharoof
9. :wi: :bwl: Daren Powell
10. :nzf: :bwl: David O'Sullivan
11. :ban: :bwl: Alamgir Kabir

:tick: The technique of using specialist tail-end batsmen to sneak in an extra bowler has been done in reverse here: Hearne and de Silva spending a lot of their time as night-watchmen has allowed them up the order.
:tick: Even if your battery of medium-pacers do find the edge, there's every chance that Blakey will spill it.
:x: I had to change your batting order slightly to make it fit within the spirit of the draft, but I hope it's still sufficiently poor.

VC the slogger's XI
1. :aus: :bat: Jack Badock
2. :zim: :bat: Brian Chari
3. :eng: :ar: Fred Grace
4. :eng: :bat: Nawab of Pataudi snr
5. :wi: :bat: Wilton St Hill
6. :ind: :ar: CS Nayudu
7. :ind: :bat: Maharajah of Vizianagram :c:
8. :zim: :ar: Mluleki Nkala :redo:
9. :wi: :bwl: Ian Bradshaw :redo:
10. :ban: :bwl: Shahadat Hossain
11. :aus: :wk: Barlow Carkeek :redo:

:tick: Any side led by Vizzy is guaranteed not to achieve its full potential.
:tick: A reasonable selection of consistently dreadful players in this side - looking in particular at Shahadat and Nayudu.
:x: You didn't manage to finish picking the side (owing no doubt to real-life events), which resulted in a few auto-picks that kinda roughly satisfied the rules.

Willoughby63's XI
1. :saf: :ar: Albert Rose-Innes
2. :saf: :bat: Howard Francis
3. :aus: :bat: Rob Quiney
4. :aus: :bat: Robbie Kerr
5. :wi: :wk: Denesh Ramdin
6. :nzf: :ar: Chris Harris
7. :eng: :bat: Emile McMaster
8. :wi: :bwl: Rawl Lewis
9. :ban: :bwl: Mahbubul Alam
10. :ind: :bwl: Nilesh Kulkarni
11. :eng: :bwl: John Warr

:tick: You were the one who managed to take home Emile McMaster. The man whose Test career essentially lasted one ball (which bowled him); whose first-class career was his Test career, and whose highest recorded score at any level of cricket was 35.
:tick: You've picked so many spinners that if you want a second seamer to take the new ball it'll have to be Chris Harris.
:x: You've picked players here who are far too good at cricket. The likes of Ramdin, Harris and arguably Rose-Innes don't really belong in this draft.

How will ratings for the tournament work?
  • For players with 10 or more Test matches, their ratings will be based entirely on their Test performances.
  • For players with fewer than 10 Test matches, but more than 10 first-class matches, their ratings will run on a sliding scale (eg, 4 Tests means 40% Test record, 60% first-class record)
  • For players with fewer than 10 Test matches, and fewer than 10 first-class matches, their ratings will be decided proportionately across both formats (4 Tests out of 7 first-class matches means a 4:7 ratio. It also means the Tests essentially get counted twice)

What are the tournament fixtures?

Well it's a Swiss bracket, so I can't say for sure who will be in each round until after the last one. However, the draw is:

  1. @Aislabie vs @blockerdave
  2. @Bevab vc @Sinister One
  3. @VC the slogger vs @CerealKiller
  4. @Willoughby63 vs @Bigby Wolf
Teams will go into the sim in the next day or two

In a game that Cricksim could only just about simulate, Harry Cave was simply too good for Aislabie's XI - @blockerdave has not built the weakest team of the draft.
Code:
Thats the end of the match
Blockerdave's XI were in control most of the time and deserved this victory
Aislabie's XI didnt have a chance chasing this total

Aislabie's XI       235 & 179

George Hearne never got the chance to bowl in Test cricket, something that his first-class record always showed to be a strange decision. @Sinister One has not selected the worst team.

Code:
Thats the end of the match
Bevab's XI simply could were not good enough to tackle Sinister One's XI's bowlers
Bevab's XI didnt have a chance chasing this total
We hope you will be joining us in the coming matches, good bye
Sinister One's XI   330 & 413
Bevab's XI          298 & 195
   
Sinister One's XI won by 250 runs

The limitations of Cricksim, coupled with the lack of Test cricket upon which to judge McGain and Hastings, meant that they put in a comparatively dominant bowling effort. As a result, @CerealKiller does not have the weakest team.

Code:
That will be the match
VC the Slogger's XI simply could were not good enough to tackle CerealKiller's XI's bowlers
VC the Slogger's XI didnt have a chance chasing this total
Thats all the cricket for now
CerealKiller's XI   487/7d & 344
VC the Slogger's XI 397 & 201
 
CerealKiller's XI won by 233 runs

Basit-Ali.jpg

Basit Ali and others batted most competently to counter the spin of Albert Rose-Innes; as a result, @Bigby Wolf has not selected the weakest team.

Code:
That will be the match
Bigby Wolf's XI were in control most of the time and deserved this victory
Willoughby83's XI didnt have a chance chasing this total
Thats all the cricket for now
Bigby Wolf's XI     396 & 199
Willoughby83's XI   212 & 257
 
Bigby Wolf's XI won by 126 runs
 
Man of the match: Charl Langeveldt

As you can no doubt see, there's been some difficulty getting anything like representative results out of Cricksim when dealing with such poor players, but trying to rate them objectively. This really is the best I can do - which is to say, not especially well at all. I would surmise therefore that this little tournament will be an indicative one ahead of the poll as opposed to an answer to who did the best (worst) job in the draft.

Anyhow, the next round's fixtures:

Losers' Bracket
@Aislabie vs @Bevab
@VC the slogger vs @Willoughby63

Winners' Bracket
@blockerdave vs @Sinister One
@CerealKiller vs @Bigby Wolf

A bunch of batsmen without a Test fifty between them were powerless against 90 mph pace. Consequently, @Bevab didn't pick the weakest team of the draft.

Code:
Thats the end of the match
Bevab's XI have just completed the formalities to crush Aislabie's XI by an innings
We hope you will be joining us in the coming matches, good bye
Aislabie's XI       179 & 202
Bevab's XI          485
  
Bevab's XI won by an innings and 104 runs
 
Man of the match: Lonwabo Tsotsobe

The efforts of Fred Grace were an insight into what might have been had he not died before thirty. @VC the slogger has not selected the weakest team.

Code:
Thats the end of the match
A very close match indeed, but in the end the VC the Slogger's XI bowlers made the essential breakthoughs
Willoughby83's XI didnt have a chance chasing this total
Thank you every one for being with us thoughout this one, good bye
VC the Slogger's XI 372 & 327
Willoughby83's XI   348 & 339
  
VC the Slogger's XI won by 12 runs
 
Man of the match: Fred Grace
 
I certainly agree that we should have a vote, in all honesty we should by no means have lost to VC the Sloggerโ€™s team and we certainly should not be in the โ€˜finalโ€™!

Big John Hastings has been an absolute weapon for @CerealKiller which is exactly what he didn't intend to happen.

Code:
That will be the match
Bigby Wolf's XI simply could were not good enough to tackle CerealKiller's XI's bowlers
Bigby Wolf's XI didnt have a chance chasing this total
Thats all the cricket for now
CerealKiller's XI   437 & 382
Bigby Wolf's XI     279 & 308
 
CerealKiller's XI won by 232 runs
 
Man of the match: John Hastings
