[Purple7x08_24]

• No more than 2 players for any given country
• Debut AFTER 1970
• Must select one player from each decade with at least 10 matches played (Exception if debut is in the 2020s)
• Must pick a team to suit the ground
• Players must not have played in the same team

From 7 am to 11pm you have 8 hours to select a player. If you miss you can make up later.
If you know you're going to be busy please send a pick to someone who's behind you, or myself and I won't read it unless I have to.
If you do come online, please submit your pick before leaving so we can keep the game rolling.

 

[The King!]

Who's up? Having two picks in a row and then waiting for 30 picks has knobs on it!

Yeah its good at the time, then takes days

 

[The King!]

So you need a player from every country in the 12 or 11?

Depends who you ask

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Depends who you ask

Only fair for the 11.

 

[The King!]

Only fair for the 11.

Yeah but we have 12 picks and it says no where that they all have to be in the 11

Where is my mate Art

 

[Purple7x08_24]

You can put it in your 12 if you want but some people might vote you down later.

Fair deal

Test is forever white.

You sure you want Samaraweera as an opener? He never opened and statistically he scored ~75% of his runs at 5 (which you have open). Unless you're thinking of Dilshan?
