Still some big teams left

Who's next?

 

[CricAddict]

Who's next?

Bangladesh. Will list the players in a while.

 

[CricAddict]

After some hectic bidding on two strong SENA teams, we go with a comparatively low key SC team, Bangladesh. Let us see if all 15 get sold here too. Please bid for the 15 players in the below BD squad. Deadline will be 48 hours from this post at the latest while it will close in 24 hours if I get all bids by that time. Looking forward to the bids.

Just thinking aloud, can we do an open bidding for Australia team alone here in the thread for a week or so while we do closed bidding for other teams in parallel. What do you think of this idea?

I think all teams should be bidded for in same fashion with the rules at the start , otherwise some will say they would have spent money differently if they knew an open bid for Aus would occur .

Yes that's understandable. I will try and do it in the next tournament.

 

[CricAddict]

Yet to receive bids from a few drafters. There is still time though. Please pm "no bid" in case you are not bidding for any players.

 

[CricAddict]

Guys, I have received all bids now and the bidding is closed. There is a little surprise. You will all know it tomorrow when I release the results.

I don't like the sound of that

TIL HB loves the Bangladesh team so much. He fills up 11 of his 12 spots with the deshis while the bids were relatively sedate from the other franchises. It was almost 12/12 before he revised a bid on a player. All players sold out again this round with Teuton (2), Bitmap and SS grabbing the other players from HB.

Teams so far are updated in below sheet.

Champions Trophy 2025

[CricAddict]

The strongest team in this Champions Trophy, a team known to up its game in ICC tournaments and a team that right now has most of the world trophies across formats is up next. Please bid for these 15 strong Australian players. Remember, they can potentially get you points of two extra matches if they get into the final. And there are quite a few captain material there.

I know, I know. It's quite frustrating to hype up Australia so much, but right now, I think they do deserve the hype. You have time till Friday this week same time to provide me your bids. @honestbharani you have only a mandatory batting position left. So, you can bid only for those with role as Bat.

Role	Player Name	Bid amount
Bowl	JR Hazlewood (AUS)
Bowl	PJ Cummins (AUS)
Bowl	MA Starc (AUS)
Bat	TM Head (AUS)
AR	MR Marsh (AUS)
AR	MP Stoinis (AUS)
Bat	SPD Smith (AUS)
WK	AT Carey (AUS)
Bat	M Labuschagne (AUS)
WK	JP Inglis (AUS)
Bowl	NT Ellis (AUS)
Bat	MW Short (AUS)
Bowl	A Zampa (AUS)
Bat	GJ Maxwell (AUS)
AR	AM Hardie (AUS)
