Did I **** it? Sorry read the rules while working

Just thought Warnie at the MCG would work

Just kidding. I knew it was a tough ask to hold out Warnie even to round 4.

Pick #3 Viv Richards

70s

 

[boncer34]

Are eras locked in or can we change?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I vote for boncer34 immediate removal. I had 1 player in mind as my clear first choice, even refrained from picking a WI ground and name to avoid suspicion.

Even knew he averaged 70 at Lord's.

Makes more of a challenge if you nominate the decade that you're allocating him to. So whatever decade you allocate him to you have to keep, no changing later.

You just need to make sure you choose one player from every decade.

Pick 6 - Glenn McGrath

2000s

[Soggy2112]

Side note, if I pick a player from a certain decade am I being judged on their performance in that decade or overall?

E.g. am I being marked down if I take 2010s Ponting?

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Do I have write in blue??? How does one do this?

no. Just a requirement to pick from every decade

Click the color wheel above, and the tT button. Just makes it easier to navigate through picks with all the discussion.

That was my biggest mistake. Sydney Spin Doctors, like I wasn't picking Warnie for my first pick.
