Can we please do a year limit snake draft before you guys have a sheep draft? Something like 1985 or 1990 till present day ODI or 1950-2000 Test draft?

You mean decade draft.

Also I think every team HAS to have two owners going forward so whats happening now doesnt happen again. One of them is bound to be online. We have so many people from Asia here so one owner from the West and one from the East and these drafts will go so much smoother.

Problem with cricket drafts is the pool isn't that deep to have such limits, unless we start getting domestic only players involved but I'm guessing that won't interest a lot of people.

Wait what do you mean the pool isnt deep enough? Like in terms of posters wanting to play?

Due to lack of clubs and there being only about 5 teams who have been on An average at a high level in the history of the game

Number of players worth getting into all time 11s. Even now with no restrictions, barrels get scraped for the last round or so.

Thats why we need to do sheep
Think sheep drafts are more suited to ODIs. May be wrong but I feel the pool is deeper there. In a sheep test draft, you're going to see some really shit players in even without factoring in sheeps.

If we restrict to players debuting after 1.1.1940 or 1.1.1950 that gives us almost 70-80 years of players to pick from. Seems like a big enough pool of players to me.

Of course no Garry Sobers!!!

We shouldn’t keep sobers and Bradman out of sheep draft ,if managers are lucky enough let them have it.In footy draft they don’t block Pele and Maradona.

I'd argue for keeping Bradman out of snake drafts but all fair game in a sheep.

Fair point. I'd be up for running one if there's interest.

I don't mind running a World Cup/ICC Trophy draft or auction.
