[smash84]

your mailbox has more intelligence than you, tbh...

 

[Himannv]

Yes, for some reason you landed in my spam folder. I didn't even know I had a spam folder!

How appropriate!!

I'll never do such a short (2 day period) - a) because it helps me plan the draft around my life (albeit failing miserably last weekend) and b) because it gives everyone else ample time to get things into me. Nobody has missed submission yet, which is very pleasing.

 

[weldone]

Yeah good, just wanted to confirm..

Mpumelelo Mbangwa
Justin Ontong
Kevin Pietersen
Dale Steyn
Heath Streak
John Waite

Deadline of 7pm GMT on Wednesday for bids and a player from India or Pakistan please.

 

[pskov]

I probably bid way too much for Hadlee, but I had a fair of money left after spending reasonable amounts the previous rounds and really wanted him so I'm not disappointed.

Eddie Barlow
Frank Worrell
Richard Hadlee
Ray Lindwall
Brian Statham

Hadlee and Lindwall at 8 and 9 will give real batting depth and along with Statham provide an awesome pace attack.

 

[weeman27bob]

Well that didn't go to plan at all.

 

[Howe_zat]

Dread to think what his funds are like but pskov is building a seriously good side there.

 

[smash84]

I got Tim southee dirt cheap. Pretty happy with that

 

[honestbharani]

well.. good to get a junk player out of the way in a round such as that one, I feel..

 

[four_or_six]

Possibly overpaid a little there, but I'm very pleased to get Ian Smith. With my strong lower order, I think a good solid experienced keeper fits in well for me.

Jonathan Trott
Ian Smith (wk)
Shaun Pollock (*)
Shane Warne
Dave Mohammed

I think I could do with some batsmen!

And which comedian nominated KP?!

 

[Howe_zat]

Ross Taylor a pretty healthy selection to get on the cheap. Need a couple of quick bowlers now, not a bad round to go for one here.

 

[Blakus]

Surprised I got Dempster for that price tbh.

1.Stewie Dempster
2.
3.Everton Weekes
4.Kenny Barrington
5.
6.
7.Denis Lindsay
8.
9.
10.
11.Subhash Gupte

BTW does Pietersen really qualify for SA? Shouldn't he be an English nom?

 

[marc71178]

Yes, I was shocked at Dempster's price as well.

As for Pietersen, I asked for South Africans and he is South African. Blame my warped sense of humour as well as having to find 5 players due to you lot displaying a lack of originality.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Really happy to get Sutcliffe.

Fair enough. Won't be that original for the next round as well
