It's time for one again!


Test Cricket Decades Draft
All players in test cricket history are available. However, you can only pick one player born in a particular decade, which will be as follows: 1890-99, 1900-09, etc.

Don Bradman is blocked.

Only the performances of the players in Test Cricket will be evaluated during the tournament.

The decades are as follows, from newest to oldest:

1980-89
1970-79
1960-69
1950-59
1940-49
1930-39
1920-29
1910-19
1900-09
1890-99

You can pick any decade to pick the 11th player. Which means you can have 2 players from one of the listed decades.

The definition of birth is as follows: A player qualifies for 1980-89 if he is born between 01 Jan 1980 (this date inclusive) and 31st Dec 1989 (this date inclusive).

Apart from this, standard draft rules apply:
- Initial drafting of 11 players. Extra 2 players per Reinforcement Round, 1 before the final, with the standard inverting the draft order method.
- 8 hrs per pick. Do not wait or provide extra time.
- No change in picks after posting.
- Tag the next manager and update the list when you make a pick.

Following is the draft order:



1. The Red Viper
2. 12OunceEpilogue
3. Harshad
4. Crappy
5. Skizzo/Pat
6. Interval
7. Moby
8. Himannv
9. The Cat
10. Boycott
11. KM
12. prath92
13. Mani
14. Indnyc
15. Di Maria's Angel
16. NM

After the systematic voting manipulation scandal earlier in the year I have no faith in the caf authorities to put up a fair draft.

Mostly harmless
I'm in for tests. But would prefer a partner. Can't argue merits and demerits of WG Grace and whether he was strong at the cut

Sure. Never participated before. All I have to do is name two XIs?
People pick players in a determined order like 1-16, then 16-1, then 1-16 again etc till everyone has full teams. Can't pick a player that has been picked by someone else. Tournament between the final teams at the end.

Are you in for the test draft or both?
