Auction draft

[biased indian]

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!

weekends ruined it other wise could have taken over the team from metallics
if for example SS goes over board with his money.. remove his most expensive buy and replace that player with a nomination from others

 

[silentstriker]

I think I'll have $1 left at least .

 

[honestbharani]

chuffed to get Waqar.. A Toe Crushing yorker, reverse swing and genuine swing bowler for a very decent price.. Gotta chk my notepad on how much I spent for him..


Yeah.. got about $6.8 M left in the bank.. For 8 players.. I feel that is ok.. Gonna end up with perhaps one or two more cheap picks.. Checking out on what others have left.. I might get some good ones in now.

Thus far

4. J Miandad

6.
7. M Boucher
8. R Benaud
9.
10.
11.

Spent approx 3.5M (2.1M due to Boucher). So doing ok, Benaud will give the team flexibility with the batting order, may end up batting 7 and playing dual all-rounders.

I feel sorry for whoever ends up with Kapali this round

Could've been worse. I almost nominated Mohammad Ashraful for the round too

 

[Blakus]

Doing pretty well so far.

S.Gavaskar
F.Engineer
R.Lindwall

 

[Himannv]

Who on earth nominated Kapali anyway? :P

I think SS is playing the game very well and to a strategy - no danger of him going over the limit, but real possibility he ends up with 7 duds (especially having seen some of the people being nominated!)

Whoops lol.. Did I nominate a dud marc?

 

[marc71178]

Not really no - there's different levels of dud to be fair.

A couple a round is OK, adds some new names into World XIs - so long as not everyone nominates them!

 

[Himannv]

Yeah, I didn't think he was a dud although he did bowl on some spicy pitches. He'll be worth my money anyday..

 

[G.I.Joe]

Not really no - there's different levels of dud to be fair.

I support the idea of adding some new names to SS's XI

 

[Himannv]

M Butcher, L Ames, R Hadlee - pskov
D Compton, R Marsh, T Alderman - flyonthewall
R Dravid, I Healy, I Khan - Marcuss
A Faulkner, C Walcott, J Gillespie - G.I.Joe
S Gavaskar, F Engineer, R Lindwall - Blakus
WG Grace, D Tallon, P Symcox - Michael7777777
W Hammond, J Russell, M Muralitharan - Himannv
M Hayden, A Flower, M Marshall - Simon
J Hobbs, A Knott, J Laker - NUFAN
B Lara, K Sangakarra, G Swann - slowfinger
J Miandad, M Boucher, R Benaud - Noble One
K Miller, A Gilchrist, G McGrath - silentstriker
V Richards, K Akmal, S Warne - Eds+metallics2006
G Sobers, G Evans, J Snow - Somerset
B Sutcliffe, B Haddin, B Williams - Nnanden
D Walters, J Dujon, A Davidson - Pothas
S Watson, MS Dhoni, W Younis - honestbharani

Simons, NUFAN and silentstriker look really good so far. Also Marcuss and Blakus can perhaps come up with some good teams. I'm rather happy with my own team as well, The addition of Murali has certainly given it an edge.

 

[Simon]

Happy to get Marshall there, I did go pretty hard for Imran but missed out b about 400k. Team is coming along well.

 

[Himannv]

Making a change for one of my bids so resent my email. Hope you got it marc.

 

[marc71178]

Yeah, still waiting on 7:

Nnanden
flyonthewall
slowfinger
Michael7777777
pskov
G.I.Joe
Somerset

 

[Nate]

Sten.

 

[marc71178]

Indeed.

In terms of nominations, can people ease off with the Wes Hall love please!

Also no more Kapil Dev, Joel Garner, Lance Gibbs, Bert Ironmonger, Craig McDermott, or Bill O'Reilly.

 

[marc71178]

As an added point - bearing in mind Bradman is up for grabs this time, anyone who fails in their bids will pretty much be totally screwed in the competition, so that's more incentive to get them in.
