Draft: The RLG Draft

[ahmedleo414]

Question, what happens if more than one person picks the same player

 

[qpeedore]

I can barely run my own Draft these days, I really don't think I'll be able to reliably participate in this one. But great idea. I'll be looking on from the sidelines.

 

[Aislabie]

Yes please

 

[Mittal2002]

IN

Question, what happens if more than one person picks the same player

I'll probably message back the second person asking for a new pick.

Also, thanks everyone for the great response! I don't think anyone seems to have an issue with revealing the nominator so that will happen. Signups will be open for about 36 more hours.

 

[ddrap14]

On second thoughts... 12 people seems like the upper limit of manageability for this kind of hectic draft. So signups closed.

So the participants are:

@ahmedleo414
@Aislabie
@CerealKiller
@Ed Smith's Basement
@Mittal2002
@mohsin7827
@Neptune
@Parth D
@sanchitgarg
@Till Valhalla
@Yash.
And myself.

I'll get the table sorted soon. But for now, the nomination round for position 1 is open!

Oh yeah- for everyone who has one, feel free to use the RNG Draft private message for this draft too. Otherwise, just send a new message

Can I send mine via a pigeon?

If you know my location: 1) yes, 2) how do you know

@ddrap14 are we doing test or ODI, t20

oop sorry, forgot because last two times weren't one format- we'll do first class for this one, but feel free to nominate associate players should you want to!

My pigeon is also back from India after completing his mission, i'll dispatch him to @ddrap14 too

I will send mine from the Eastern coast.

You send yours from the West. Because urdu.

 

[ddrap14]

Reminder for @Mittal2002 to send his pick

 

[ddrap14]

I'll do the full draft when I get home from school, but for now, the first pick- the retainer.

I've added numbers to everyone's team - these will be the numbers used for the RNG'ing.

So who keeps their pick?

@Aislabie
Pick 1: Jack Leach

I predict this will be the last time Aislabie attempts to screw someone else's team balance. I mean at least he has a more than serviceable bowler?
FYI, the justification for this pick:

"The left-hander's match-winning second-innings 92 was higher than his entire team's first-innings 85, and higher too than Ireland's second-innings 38.

The rest of the time he often finds himself carrying drinks for an England team that never loved him as much as it should have, but his disciplined left-arm orthodox could be valuable for whomever ends up with him."

And now for the randomised picks!

Pick 2: Javed Omar
Nominated By: @ddrap14
Recieved By: @sanchitgarg

Javed Omar isn't the worst cricketer you could have at number 1, as he has carried his bat once in scoring a hundred. Unfortunately, it was against 2000s Zimbabwe. More unfortunately, in 79 other innings he only passed 50 seven times, and he usually scored very few runs at a very slow pace.
