[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
• Must choose at least one player from all of the following countries
  • Australia
  • New Zealand
  • England
  • Pakistan

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 12th Man is kind of pointless if you have to have one from each country in the 11 - he can only replace one of the players from the countries from which you have selected multiple players.

I reckon Plugger should be allowed to pick Dujon.

[Lingsface]

11th I think.

 

[eth-dog]

11th I think.

Man I mean.

 

[Lingsface]

Man I mean.

4th best t20 player in the world and not a bad test average in batting and bowling. Best I could see of zim this late.
