Hello and welcome to another of my draft threads! Honestly, these have really revitalised my interest in the forums, and I'm really enjoying running them. My past drafts include:
As has become my usual practice, I am opening the thread for the next draft while the last one (on this occasion The Quiz Draft) is still ongoing, but we probably won't be actually starting our picks until it is finished. At present, we're just gathering interest. So without further ado, the theme for this draft (which you already know because you read the title) is...

The Worst of Test Cricket

So many drafts are based around trying to pick as good a side as possible, and I thought a change of pace was in order. Instead, your task will be to pick the worst Test side you possibly can. However, there are some rules to just stop you picking eleven dreadful one-cap wonders or the entire 2002 Bangladeshi side, and those are:
  1. Your team must have at least 100 Test caps between them.
  2. You must select no more than two players from the same country.
  3. All players must perform their real-life role in the team (so no picking eleven non-batting wicket-keepers, or opening the batting with Chris Martin).
  4. Every player in your team must have played Test cricket.
Those are all pretty much just common sense rules really which will serve to keep things interesting. If I have time, I might even simulate a small tournament in which our selected teams can all race to last place. Funny player profiles are encouraged.

Feel free to start signing up straight away, although I will probably cap it at six of us EDIT: That went well, but I've definitely capped it at eight now. Things run more smoothly that way.

Intriguing draft, willing to join if it isn’t necessary to post an elaborate writeup like I did with the previous draft!
