Okay, first in best dressed, pick players in any order

 

[Jamee999]

I'll play!

 

[aussie tragic]

So we have the first Franchise Owner....do you have a Team name yet....hope its better than the IPL efforts

 

[silentstriker]

I'll play. The Silentstriker Pigeons (yea, you knew it was coming).

 

[aussie tragic]

2nd Franchise owner is SS...Team name please and it can't have anything to do with McGrath....

 

[silentstriker]

So we go one at a time right, 1st owner picks a name, then the 2nd owner picks from the remaining, etc?


We should do 1-2-3-3-2-1-1-2-3, etc, so the 1st owner does not have a huge advantage.

 

[aussie tragic]

ok, since you were faster than me i guess it'll count

 

[silentstriker]

2nd Franchise owner is SS...Team name please and it can't have anything to do with McGrath....

I'm taking you to court on that.

 

[Jamee999]

Jamee's 999ers are in.

 

[kp4captain]

i'll be third owner
is still available yes?

 

[aussie tragic]

ummm, rather follow schoolyard cricket rules of one at a time....if you like I can pick a number between 1-10 and whoever is closest picks first....I think it's not much of an advantage as do you pick bowlers, openers, spinner, batsmen or WK first?

 

[aussie tragic]

Okay, first Franchise round is from:

Jamie 999ers
The Silentstriker Pigeons
KP's Dollars

Let's just go in that order, but be warned SS will pick pace bowlers first

 

[silentstriker]

I guess 7.

 

[kp4captain]

Team name:
KP's dollars

 

[aussie tragic]

I guess 7.

Invalid....Jamie 999ers is first pick (but I guess you meant Shoaib?)

EDIT: oh, I get it, the 1-10 lol.....nah I went with my OP of first in best dressed....you're 2nd best dressed though SS


Jamie 999ers, your pick, followed by SS Pidgons and then KP$

 

[silentstriker]

Invalid....Jamie 999ers is first pick (but I guess you meant Shoaib?)

EDIT: oh, I get it, the 1-10 lol.....nah I went with my OP of first in best dressed....you're 2nd best dressed though SS

OK, no problems. Up to Jamee now.

 

[kp4captain]

Hurry up i'm bored

 

[aussie tragic]

Okay, lets keep it quick, 10 minute rule of selection applies....or next franchise owner can pick

Go ahead Pidge

 

[kp4captain]

If i log off now will i be left with all the bad players, the ones the others don't want?

 

[silentstriker]

I pick Brett Lee
