Auction draft

[marc71178]

Done - I was wondering if the time between drafts was too long or not, but people seem to be using the whole period to submit bids so I'm guessing not.

I think it is a bit too long.. Some people may just lose interest due to all the waiting. Maybe 2 or 3 days may have been smarter.

 

[marc71178]

Fair enough - to be honest the 3 day then 4 day gap has come about because of my other commitments making it easiest for me to run it on a Wednesday and a Sunday but that can be revisited for any future events.

Hoping to be able to run a round-robin sim on the final teams (if I can locate my ITC on my old computer to transfer it to my laptop!) - so may well require you to all give me pitch settings.

I like the sound of that

That sounds like a brilliant idea lol..

Well if Wednesday and Sunday are convienient for you then thats what it should be. Its your baby after all..

Vettori is his extra player

1 Atapattu
2 Jayasuriya
3 Lara
4 De Silva
5 Hussey
6 Sangakarra
7
8 Vettori
9 Vaas
10 Swann
11

Go for a quick for number 11 and pick an all rounder at 7 who bowls seam up like Brian McMillan or Flintoff etc.

Sorry thanks man, havent been on because of internet so yeah a last batsmen and a bowler would be awesome

Excellent bowling lineup. Akram, Holding, Waqar and Watson sounds quite efficient. Watson can open if you need him to but you still need another big name batsman in there.

 

[honestbharani]

That is where the last round comes in..


The options that Hooper and Watson give are immense, tbh... I am now gonna have 4 seamers and *fingers crossed* two spinners...


And hopefully in the next round, with a decent enough batsman, I can go well..

 

[marc71178]

Never selected as one I'm afraid - did suggest someone equally repulsive (unless you look towards a Bangladeshi)

sent again.. plz confirm Marc

Confirmed, only 2 to go now.

 

[G.I.Joe]

mailed you a replacement, marc. my phone doesnt like cricketmail, so if not received or if he's already taken, just nominate a proper non muppet batsman on my behalf!

 

[Himannv]

Nominate Jardine!!!

 

[slowfinger]

Can't wait >.<
