The answer to milenko47's question is - you lose the player(s) for whom you bid least in your last set of bids, but no-one else gets them either.

 

[stephen]

Well I'm going to have the strongest tail at least.

 

[stephen]

That's twice HB had pipped me for a leg spinner.

Andrew, is there any reason you don't post the next XI at the same time as you post the results?

 

[AndrewB]

In theory it gives people a chance to point out any mistakes I've made, but let's assume I haven't...

Round 3 XI to pick from:

Barry Richards
Sunil Gavaskar
Viv Richards
Wally Hammond
Brian Lara
Kumar Sangakkara
Alan Knott
Ray Lindwall
Bill O'Reilly
Dennis Lillee
Muttiah Muralitharan

So how close were last round's picks? Did anyone else bid big for paddles?

 

[honestbharani]

3 leggies out of 3 in my side now. Leg spin FTW!!!

 

[ankitj]

I don't want to give away people's strategies at this point, but will publish all the bids at the end.

Round 3 bids received from stephen, ankitj, honestbharani and Red Hill.

 

[stephen]
