Auction draft

[Somerset]

Sorry for the delay, sent in now.

 

[Himannv]

I think I'm bidding too much lol.. Sent another email and changed my bids.. There's still time right?

 

[silentstriker]

I think once everyone's bids are in, the auction should end. Moves it along IMO.

 

[Himannv]

Yeah, I somewhat agree. Besides, the GMT times are fairly late over here..

 

[silentstriker]

22 minutes past the deadline .

Will keep to the deadline approach - hardly ever gets them all till near the deadline anyway, and besides I pick the deadline around a time I know I can spend the time I need to!

 

[Himannv]

Probably takes a while to figure out who gets whom and keep track of the finances and stuff I reckon..

 

[G.I.Joe]

So who's the sucker stuck with Bradman?

 

[Himannv]

And the winner is.................. going to be announced after a few commercial breaks.

 

[silentstriker]

Hoping to get Inzy here. Totally underrated player.

 

[Himannv]

I wouldn't mind any of my top 7 picks.. Lets see..

[G.I.Joe]

Nice.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Don't we have to nominate someone for next round?

 

[silentstriker]

Miller, Gilchrist, McGrath, Hutton


What a team! Bradman got a ridiculous number, as expected, and IMO that's too much for one player. You could get both Imran Khan and Keith Miller for example for that.

 

[Simon]

Cant remember what I bid for Edrich but I'll take him, dont think it was more than the $120k

 

[Himannv]

Really happy to get Graeme Pollock. With both him and Hammond in my ranks I think my middle order is pretty much sorted..

 

[silentstriker]

A couple people got really good values though - I think I could have bid much less and got Hutton anyway.

 

[slowfinger]

A rather modern looking side here, none-the-less threatning:
1.
2.Jayasuriya
3.Lara
4.Sangakarra
5.
6.
7.Swanneh
8.
9.
10.
11.
