Don't remember how much I bid for Gillespie, but it certainly wasn't much, and wouldn't mind having him in the team as a third/fourth seamer, especially considering it brings my total expenditure back to realistic levels now. Bargain imo.
EDIT: I have no doubt SS's finances are screwed now
I wouldn't be surprised if the $2,850,000 bid was his. Even assuming $2,000,000, that brings his total expenditure so far to about $ 6,000,000, leaving him with a budget of 500,000 per player for the next 8 rounds. Cue SS to trot out a "building around the big three" line.

Sure but I got who I consider to be the greatest bowler of all time, the second best fastDon't remember how much I bid for Gillespie, but it certainly wasn't much, and wouldn't mind having him in the team as a third/fourth seamer, especially considering it brings my total expenditure back to realistic levels now.

bowling all rounder of all time and the greatest wicketkeeper batsman of all time. I have no doubt this means I'll have some weak spots but in a field of 17, you can't deny that this gives me an excellent core to win matches.

Basically I have three players that can keep me in any game on any surface by playing aggressive attacking cricket. If you had to pick three players to build a crappy team around, two all time great fast bowlers, one good batsman, and tan excellent wicketkeeper wicketkeeper and an amazing attacking player is ideal. I don't look at having played for 3 players - I got five positions on my team. Obviously you disagree with the early spending but I am ecstatic with having so many positions filled with 3 players.

I would have if I hadn't gotten my top choices. But no, I think I have enough multi dimensional players so far to help mitigate the "loss" of Bradman. I decided early on to focus on bowling over batting if I had the choice.

I've not really thought of that - I guess so long as you've $1 a round left then that's the best I can do, am hoping nobody fails to submit enough times for it to be a problem, but I wanted quite a harsh payment to be in place for non-submission. Guess I didn't expect the likes of Brad Williams to be nominated!
NUFAN
Y no Afghanistan flag
Yeah, cool. I guess if you go over the mark, you probably should be eliminated!
I think I'm between 3.0 & 3.1million, not too bad.
