Ah, Tendulkar. Nice!! Didn't expect to get him with all the other people vying for him. What happened to that 10 million bid now?

Over the moon to get him though. With Tendulkar, Rhodes and Murali, I have very little to complain about.

Now back to Inter v Bayern and SL v NZ.

Ah yes, I do remember the Bradman bid. Great bit of business on his part

marc, one request. after every round could you please publish a list of all the players who have been drafted thus far in all the rounds?

After a few more rounds, things are going to get messy and people will tend to forget which all players are remaining. Then going back to each of the round result posts will be cumbersome.

Pretty interesting start to the ODI version, is it just 10 mil for 13 players, it looks like some of you guys are paying big money at the moment. I doubt 7 of the players will go for over a million this round..
