Sooda Posted March 26 Posted March 26 (edited) * Fantasy Cricket Draft Game!** Alright, bit of downtime between internationals so let's play a fantasy draft game , what do you guys think? No real matches, no spreadsheets… just cricket knowledge, team building, and a bit of chaos. --- ##The Idea We’ll take turns drafting real players to build our own XIs. Once a player is picked, they’re **off the board** — no duplicates. At the end, we compare teams and let the forum decide who built the best side. --- Rules : *Test cricket! * Snake draft format, in alphabetical order of ICFER name I would say, with the last person picking two and then it going back in reverse * Each team drafts **11 players** * I would say Players who made their debut after 1970 so from modern era ish * Maximum of two players from nation * No duplicate players of course *Players are judged at their **peak performance**. Let's try and get 10 to 15 ICF-ers to take part ? Or is that too many --- This is all about how your team looks *on paper*. I was thinking Once the draft is done, we’ll run forum votes for: * **Best Overall XI** * **Best Batting Lineup** * **Best Bowling Attack** * **Best Balanced Team** **Points system:** * Best XI = 3 points * Each other category = 1 point Overall winner = most points What do you guys think? Let me know your ideas or any changes to what I've suggested Just reply to say you're in and let's go ! Edited March 26 by Sooda
