Not to complain, but I automatically get the 10th best fast bowler.

Will see how this progresses.

You may get the 4th best batsman of all time in Round 2 to compensate. That will be either Tendulkar, Sobers, Richards or Lara depending on your point of view.

From an outsiders perspective this Draft will be interesting because it will be like watching a poll similar to 'The ATG World XI Game' we conducted a few years back. That is, all the great players will be ranked in order according to their specific discipline. I presume that there will be categories like 'greatest opening batsman', or 'greatest spin bowler' to go along with the current 'greatest pace bowler'. Whether Bagapath splits these categories into sub-categories such as left or right handed, PreWWI, bowling-allrounder, medium-paced bowler etc will also be interesting.

Another big question is whether Bagapath forces Sobers into a batting-allrounder category or leaves him to compete with batsman who are more or less pure batsman.

I was making ATG XI s and I could make at least six of them easily. So wanted to try it as a draft and see where we end up. You are right about these assumptions. I intend to leave two slots open. That should give folks some flexibility in terms of their team composition.

Never. A proper team will have 12 men, so can a draft. So jump in...

Monk ran the Expeditious Draft a while back where the picks were 3 hourly. Funnily enough hardly anyone missed their pick. Not saying that you should copy 3 hours, but 6 or 8 hourly picks would speed things up with minimal damage if you need to be done and dusted by the 11th.

Thanks Bagga.

Can't complain about the order in this round. We have more than enough top class players fitting that criteria.

I expected these 5 to be the first 5 picks as soon as Bagapath laid down the rules for the first round. The next few picks will be quite interesting. Quite a few elite bowlers are remaining - the order will be one of interest.
