Auction draft

Already sent my mail, but just posting to agree with whoever asked for first names. There's no point wasting millions on a lemon because of some unfortunate ambiguity.. Cheers.
 

Noble One

International Vice-Captain
Slightly confused. I sent my email in on the 15th of Jan, bids and nominations included. Exact same email address as my original nomination, possibly overlooked or missed?

Not too worried, Boucher is a fantastic wicketkeeper and it will add to the challenge for me to spend wisely for the remainder of the draft.

I don't know what happened there - but it definitely did not get through to me.

So far I've had 9 in for round 2: Pothas, silentstriker, pskov, honestbharani, NUFAN, Himannv, Nnanden, G.I.Joe and Noble One.

Which players in this lot are ambiguous - I know it does say M Butcher and this is an all-time draft, but he's the only unusual one (and it is Mark Butcher for the record)

Well, better safe than sorry isn't it? Hypothetically, if I nominate Derek Walters and you enter it as D Walters, we're all going to be betting huge cash on a enterprising Zimbabwean whose main contribution to cricket has been a single first class game for Rhodesia.

I sent you mind about 22 hours ago, might want to re-check.

I nominated Knott and would have gotten him if I didn't get Gilchrist. Very happy with Gilchrist though, did not at all have to make a decision about having to spend more on a batting lineup due to a weaker keeper, or spending more on a better bowling name to negate a below average gloveman.

Very happy with my team so far :).

Yes thanks, and also flyonthewall's.

11 in so far, and all 11 have nominated a different bowler - waiting on Blakus, slowfinger, Michael7777777, Somerset, Marcuss and metallics2006.

Haha, how much were you going to spend on Knott?

I can probably confirm he wouldn't have got Knott, but the thing about the format of this is that people have bid far more than some players have gone for but because one of their other bids was accepted, that bid becomes void!
 

honestbharani

Whatever it takes!!!
lol.. might be a good time to add that I got the man I nominated in Dhoni.. Wish the same with my batsman and bowler too, tbh.. :ph34r:

Hoping one of my top 5 bids get accepted this time. Quite happy with Russell for the amount I paid though. I nominated Walcott but didn't bid enough for him.

I nominated a batsman in my second mail. Has the bidding for round 2 started? I dont see a batters' list in the thread for rd 2. Should I send my bowler nomination for rd 3 now?

I thought I bid 1.9m for him?
