Interesting. Let me think about it.

Andrew - ABdV <> Everton Weekes

Ok then, Flower, Shakib, Taylor and Fleming for Bradman. Four players.

Their combined batting average is 177.60. That's 77.66 MORE than what Bradman can give you. You can't say no to that. In addition to another 77.66 runs in batting average, you get a wicketkeeper who can bat in the top 6 and is his country's undisputed greatest cricketer, and you also get a left arm orthodox spinner who is his country's undisputed greatest cricketer.

Here's the trade as I see it.

You lose - 99.94 in batting average of a guy who was divisive in the dressing room and wouldn't drink with the boys. Although he is Aus's greatest cricketer.

You gain - 177.60 of batting average, an increase of 77.66. The greatest cricketer Zimbabwe ever produced. The greatest cricketer Bangladesh ever produced, plus NZ's best ever captain, and an ATG of NZ top order batting.

This is a massive win for you harsh, don't dismiss this offer lightly, you won't get anything more generous than this. If you needed one extra carrot, I'll even throw in "The Demon" Spofforth, Australia's greatest bowler of all time.

Honestly this is very generous. I just can't afford to lose Bradders. Divisive or not, he is the invincible.

Ok, last offer for Bradman. Flower, Spofforth, Shakib, Taylor, Fleming and Bart King.

That's epic.

If I am done trading then can I say this is my final XI or do I have to keep trading even if I dont want?

I am in a similar position, but I think you have to until the thread ends.

Last offer for Procter. Vettori, Wright, Streak and Dempster

Too early for that I think.

If anything, you can just add these extra players to your squad so the chances of you losing your favourite players is less if you don't trade.

Grumpy, Gibbs <> Vettori/Ashwin?

Let's just make my proposed trade and get into safe territory, how about that?

 

[mr_mister]

Interesting. Let me think about it.

you can have Bedi or Chandashker if you want instead - I just need a 4th quick badly and I feel Wes is surely like 5th-6th in your pace pecking order... no way you'll end up needing to play him in your XI

 

[harsh.ag]

Yeah, but I already gave you Walshi. How about a lazyboy exchange of Gibbs and any spinner from your end?

 

[mr_mister]

yeah you gave me Walsh but I only started with Kapil and Srinath as my quicks lol - was always gonna need more than 1 new addition and you're the pace farm around here


but sure if you just want to beat the 48 hr rule Gibbs for Bedi/Subash/Chandraskher - i don't plan on playing any of them in my final XI so you choose

I would still like to make a deal that would be worthwhile for me. Surely you don't need all these fast bowlers? I'm offering you two, one of who is a rarity in this draft - a SLA all rounder.
