Should I put a star in the lottery just to spice things up?

I'm supposed to picking again next but I presume I have to wait for the lottery first.

Yep, will get on that in a moment. Amazingly, both of those were my next planned picks

 

[Aislabie]

LOTTERY THREE

@Aislabie - Andre Fletcher
Well, the man has dreadful ODI stats (and indeed pretty much all-format stats) but he's definitely far from the worst we could have got here.

@ddrap14 - Adnan Akmal
A really tidy gloveman this time, far better than your first two lottery pulls!

@CerealKiller - Javed Omar Belim
Well you've got yourself an anchor right there.

@Parth D - Ian Philip
He's better than his stats, but against bowlers like Joel Garner and Glenn McGrath he probably still isn't very good.

@qpeedore - Aijaz Ali
Well he's got an undeniable cool factor.


@El Loco - Zubin Surkari
Well that nomination may have backfired a little bit, but Surkari's batting passed the eye test despite his flaky stats and bruised member.

@El Loco - go wild with your Round Four pick!

 

[Aislabie]

@El Loco has a late pick - @Parth D do your thing

All players in the team must be selected in a role that they've played before - for example no opening the batting with Ben Stokes as he's never done that before, but also no hiding Francis Otieno at number eleven as he's never done that before either.

What if a player has just 3 slots left at number 2, 10 and 11 and gets a player like Stokes in the lottery

Then players will be rejigged to all be in positions they've batted in before - for example, if I had room for two more batsmen and drew a bowler in the lottery, Kwame Tucker would have to move up.

If it's not possible to get everyone in a position they've batted in before, then one away will be acceptable, and so on. Basically just common sense.

However I don't think anyone need worry about picking up Ben Stokes in the lottery

@CerealKiller lost his chance.
@Aislabie can go.
