The first Cricket sheep thread

[Mani]

Skills idea looks great but it better to play with 8 manager than original 16 as the pool is limited.
Else there should some option of getting in the blocked players at some stage, may be after round 6.

 

[Nighteyes]

Normal draft is the way too go imo. Pool is a bit too small for anything else

 

[Varun]

Losing players down the line after you have secured them looks off to me. How do you plan things if you suddenly lose a player few rounds later?

Yeah, and anyway previously as well hierarchy format in sheep drafts have ended a bit stale and uneventful.

I see, don't know about the hierarchy format but that doesn't sound good. Losing players is a defo no no.

Normal draft sounds good.

 

[MJJ]

A sheep cricket draft isnt as much fun as the football one, the pool is too small.

 

[Moby]

Normal draft sounds good.

Aye perhaps with some restrictions that were proposed earlier like 1 or 2 players per nation only, etc. Should be fun.

Yeah, 2 player per nation sounds good. 1 would be too less if we have 16 participants

Plus players must have played 50 odd games to qualify.

 

[Moby]

Want no more episodes like Procter and Richards, eh?

I agree with that, fwiw.

 

[Varun]

Plus players must have played 50 odd games to qualify.

Sounds good. Though something like 25 ODIs is fine.

 

[Varun]

I will only be available as an AM btw so whoever wants me to assist can let me know.

Both pretty shit so we can go with either .

If we use my pet name instead of Varun though, it'd be Ando

Let's go with that.

 

[crappycraperson]

In for a new draft of any kind

 

[Varun]

Let's go with that.

Excellent

 

[Mani]

So when is this getting started?

 

[Moby]

So when is this getting started?

Who is running this?

 

[prath92]

I think I'll be an AM than a player If anyone is interested.

 

[NM]

In. @prath92 we can team up

 

[harshad]

When will this potentially start?

 

[Akshay]

Who is running this?

Up to Skills. Or maybe we should have a vote on which format would be preferred? I'm free from WW commitments so I can run this whenever as well.

 

[Varun]

If we do a normal snake draft, the game mod can play as well.

 

[Skills]

Do you guys want to start immediately? Or wait a bit?

 

[The Red Viper]

IN!

Snake draft or sheep draft?

 

[Varun]

Do you guys want to start immediately? Or wait a bit?

Start now man. The forum is a mess anyways.

 

[harshad]

Do you guys want to start immediately? Or wait a bit?

Start now man, got nothing better to do.

 

[KM]

I'm in

 

[KM]

Also start now. Caf is unbearable these days, might give me a reason to visit Caf more.

 

[Moby]

yeah

 

[Samid]

Can we have the thread already?

 

[Moby]

Go. Snake draft doesn't need much modding anyway.

 

[KM]

@Skills do it already.

 

[Skizzo]

I'm in for another if it's starting

i think I need to do a bit of redeeming myself after @Skills murdered me in the first round

 

[Varun]

Also start now. Caf is unbearable these days, might give me a reason to visit Caf more.

Exactly

 

[The Man Himself]

If we are starting this week only, I will prefer to be AM to someone.
