IPL Auction Draft

[honestbharani]

No worries. Next time.

@Bitmap @Thala_0710 @Himannv - just a heads up that its a few minutes away from 1.30pm so will stop the draft in 5 minutes unless everyone confirms they are able to go longer but I know its late in Aus currently so am fine stopping as is what we agreed too and will need a 2nd time slot in any case!

 

[Thala_0710]

I can continue

 

[Bitmap]

I think we're more or less towards the end of the auction, if it's fine with @Himannv we can complete it today only

 

[Himannv]

We can stop if you like. I think I have enough players lol.

 

[JOJOXI]

We can stop if you like. I think I have enough players lol.

I more mean in terms of timing for today as I recall you wanting to start earlier - I still need a minimum of 1 more player and @Thala_0710 3 players minimum although should go a lot quicker now that @Thala_0710 is the only one with a spare overseas slot but up to you if you've got any more time tonight or not?

 

[JOJOXI]

Although @Himannv you can probs just head off if you've had a look at the remaining players and don't want any of them and will just note you aren't there if game is waiting for your response

 

[JOJOXI]

Missed your message @Bitmap but if its fine with @Himannv and @Thala_0710 I'm happy to end after 1.5cr players

 

[Thala_0710]

So now @JOJOXI you can pick any 2 players you want, and I'll pack any 2 I want (1 CR players)

 

[JOJOXI]

We'll call that a wrap I think - with 16 players @Thala_0710 if you can pick 2 players at the 1cr base price that you want to add to your team - as MI are out of money, KKR are out of squad space and I am content leaving my team as it is.

Thank you very much for your flexibility @Himannv @Bitmap @Thala_0710 - if you can post your first choice XI and impact player (specify whether they come in for batting or bowling) in the coming days that'd be greatly appreciated thanks.

 

[Thala_0710]

I pick Rinku Singh and Washington Sundar

 

[JOJOXI]

So now @JOJOXI you can pick any 2 players you want, and I'll pack any 2 I want (1 CR players)

I always quite liked Rajat Bhatia when I was younger so I'll pick him and leave my other slot vacant

 

[Himannv]

01. Yashaswi Jaiswal
02. Mike Hussey
03. Virat Kohli
04. Shubman Gill
05. AB de Villiers
06. Rishabh Pant+
07. Axar Patel
08. Shane Warne
09. Anil Kumble
10. Kagiso Rabada
11. Mohammed Shami

Most likely starting XI? I have Tendulkar, Murali, A. Morkel, T. Varma, I. Pathan, D. Chahar, Avesh Khan, and a few others who could play. Not too shabby I reckon.

 

[JOJOXI]

Who would your impact player be @Himannv and are they in for batting or bowling innings but I have to admit I noted very early on you were on course to build a super team withh likes of Hussey, ABD and Kohli in early!

 

[Bitmap]

Thank you very much @JOJOXI for running this extremely fun-filled auction!

Would pay decent money to watch Murali bowling to Tendulkar in the nets with both having the motivation to prove a point to the team owners and coaches that they deserve a spot in the First XI!

I honestly don't know. Maybe Albie for flexibility.

Tendulkar if I know I'll need a batter and Murali if I need a bowler seems like the easy answer though.
