PPL Cricsim: DRAFT

[iZeeshan]

SO here it. Five owners, and a draft begins. You have 24 hours to make a choice, but please be as quick as possible.

You will pick a PP member, any PP member, of course one that hasn't already signed up in the sign up thread.

ALSO, you will be picking a CURRENT INTERNATIONAL PLAYER, not a retired one.

So when it is your pick, please make a choice of an international player and a PP member.

Hope I have outlined everything...

[iZeeshan]

I wish! Mohsin isn't on.

[The Blazer]

Someone stick Moshin please.

[iZeeshan]

Mohsin hails from the land of the British. We may have to wait.

[The Blazer]

I'm British. Why is he sleeping right now?!

[DM]

He means that Shahid Afridi is currently roaming the British peninsula right now so Mohsin has to wait in the bunker until the siren stops

[DM]

So what's happening here, whose team am i on and what do i do?

[Straight Bat]

Plasma is online! someone reel him in

[The Blazer]
