Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this the closest we've gotten to the 8 hour rule?

 

[The King!]

Can't you all just be online now

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this the closest we've gotten to the 8 hour rule?

Worked much better than the AFL version. So many people who wouldn't make selections.

Can't believe 8 teams still need Zimbabwe, and 6 still need Bangladesh
I'm happy with my picks for both. Innocence could be a very good player and with who was available I'd rather a project player.

I think Plugger35 team is quite solid.

Shocked that he would be picked over Ervine or Raza

Yeah. Raza is very underrated. Good bat and solid bowler
