Some Big duds certainly in this round.
Didn't like the value I'd guess I'd have to pay on many of the players in that last round so went fairly low. Thought I may have had a shot at ABdV, but obviously someone rates him very highly indeed. Getting Kanhai for a modest amount is a good pick imho - obviously never had much ODI experience but his domestic List A record is very good and I don't think anyone would doubt a player of his class and and style being a very good middle order ODI player if given the chance. Also could be used as a keeper if I don't get one of a decent quality in the rest of the auction.

I thought that initially, but when you look at his ODI record it is actually pretty mediocre, even taking into account the period in which he played. 30.53 average at a SR of only 57.70.
And when was this 1993 World Cup?

Yes he blew hot and cold ,but always played the crucial knocks for his team and contribute when needed with the ball pretty well.
Compared to other Indian players of his generation his record is pretty good,and he was one of the best players of fast bowling in the world. His teammates also rate him very highly.
He may not be among the top ODI players but was a very useful contributor.

Depth. Also giving my team plenty of options further on in the draft. I could get away with moving my trio of all-rounders a space higher on the list.

Perhaps its the Rugby Sevens. Some countries sent cricket teams.And when was this 1993 World Cup?

Whatever it takes!!!
Thrilled to have gotten AB.. Solves the keeper quandary as well, if nothing else.. 
And if I get another keeper, I will still end up with one of the best fielders of all time in this ODI side.. Ponting and AB at point and cover.. Now go and beat that..

'Excellent' is an over-used word nowadays, isn't it? :P

Anil Kumble was a very good bowler in ODIs. He served Indian ODI team for many many years and was one among the world's best spinners before he made way for Harbhajan in the ODI team. Kumble has always been much better than Harbhajan as an aggressive bowler, and he could be as effective as Harbhajan as a defensive bowler if he wished to. Still, he made way for Harbhajan mainly for 3 reasons:
1. Selectors wanted Kumble to focus more on test cricket, and with increasing age, playing both test and ODI was not getting easier for him.
2. Harbhajan was a better ODI batsman.
3. Though Kumble was the better bowler of the two, Harbhajan wasn't bad either; especially as a defensive bowler in the middle overs.
However, with years passed by, Harbhajan has matured himself well as an aggressive bowling option in ODIs too.
So, good to get Kumble as the spinner in the team whom I personally consider a good candidate for being the 4th best ODI spinner ever (after Murali, Saqlain and Warne, of course).
My team so far:
Sanath Jayasuriya
Gary Kirsten
Mark Boucher
Shaun Pollock
Anil Kumble
By the way, Kumble is the first (and probably last) Indian in my team and first (and probably not last ) cricketer drafted by me who was also nominated by me.

Only player I've picked up that I nominated so far was Kemp, and I only bid $4 for him.
Which is rather annoying as I've been generally nominating good players so far. Unlike the last auction where I was one of the guys deliberately nominating duds for laughs (though Marc wouldn't let me nominate Ian Austin
)
