All-Time Trading Game

Dont think anyone's gonna trade with me. I'll wait and see.

If I'm gonna lose players for not trading, I think it'd be monumentally unfair if I lost Flower, King or Streak!

Let's add an historical element to your team...
....that the voters who appreciate cricketers from a bygone era would love!

Bart King was by a wide margin the greatest cricketer that the US has ever produced, as well as being a great character. His reputation outside America was largely made by his three tours of England with The Philadelphians (who before World War 1 played cricket to a high standard) in 1897, 1903 and 1908. His figures in first-class matches on those tours were:

Runs Avge Wkts Avge
1897 441 20.10 72 24.20
1903 653 28.89 93 14.91
1908 290 16.11 87 11.01

Though by 1908 he was 35 years old, his bowling average was the lowest of the English season. His 87 wickets were taken in just 10 matches. He bowled very fast in his early days, and developed the ability to swing the ball late from leg. Judges such as Pelham Warner, C.B.Fry and H.V.Horden ranked him amongst the great bowlers.
In all first-class matches he scored 2134 runs at 20.52, with 1 century, and took 415 wickets at 15.67.





Come on guys, add some character to your team, and offer me a trade for a legend. Get me into the game!

Can we remove the 48 hour rule? It's very annoying and can lead to inactivity as people just wait around.

How about Williamson/Crowe for Boycott?

I'm not looking to trade those 2. But I can offer you the pace all rounder in John Reid with Donolley, Fleming, Dempster, Taylor, Wright and Sutcliffe for Hutton.

If not, Reid with one of the above for Boycott.
