World Test XI draft

[Dirty_South]

Zubin why dont u communicate wid me ? :D I have suggested a few good players :)

Everything against Bangla and Zim (post 2002) should be excluded. I'm fine with 1 replacement per team. No swapping please...just replacement. Also, all teams can replace whether or not they made any errors in the first XI rounds. Other proposed changes: a) Also, any bowler with less than 10 wickets can't be used, and any bowler with less than 50 wickets should have a bowling cap of 35. Any batsman with less than 500 runs will have a batting cap of 20. b) Any player who played less than 40 tests will have a batting cap of 50 and bowling cap of 25.

Boy, this is confusing. I have a suggestion. Those teams which want to replace a player with someone not selected, please make record your replacement here and ensure that your squad adheres to the selection critera. Those teams who want to swap a player with some other team, PM the other team owner and sort it out there. Those teams who don't want any replacements, just say so in this thread. When this is complete, we'll start a new thread with each squad in batting order, recording the ratio for each team

Team 3 wants to replace Brett Lee with Paul Reiffel. (Replacing Aussie player with another Aussie, so don't think the rules are being broken). If anyone wants to take Lee now I guess they are free to do so.

One thing...we will have knock outs. Basically randomly draw Team X against Team Y in country Z. (We then use home or away average for each player based on the country Z. That way both home and away average will matter).

Hang on! How can you have out of order replacements - what if more than 1 team wants the same player. They should go 8->1.

Oh that's fine...I thought nobody was going for any replacement. I can wait I guess. Hopefully nobody takes Paul Reiffel :(

[Shane]

Replacement -- Team 6 !!!

[Gambit]

Are we starting from Team 8? If so, I would like to make a replacement. Please confirm if I can go ahead and make my replacement.

[The Outsider]

I would say go ahead since the last round was 1->8.

[SachDan]

Yes. Gambit you can start

[Shane]

The 11th round ended at 8th .... so from 8th we start !!!

[Gambit]
