You will be picking a team of 11 from a squad of 15, so we will have 15 rounds, and the budget for the whole draft is $15m. The draft will run as previously so I will pick the highest bid from everyone and they get that player, then the highest bid for the remaining players and so on. An example of how this works (featuring 2 of the best players in history plus Twatto) is here
If you don't get a highest bid then you end up with whatever is left but pay the highest bid in the round. For an idea of how this works, check out the previous draft thread: here
There are 13 players to bid on, everyone picked a different player which is quite surprising - they are as follows:
Aubrey Faulkner
Barry Richards
Brian McMillan
Colin Bland
Denis Lindsay
Eddie Barlow
Hashim Amla
Hugh Tayfield
Jackie McGlew
Mike Proctor
Muttiah Muralitharan
Paul Harris
Shaun Pollock
What you need to do now is place bids for the players by email. Also in that email plase include your nomination for round 2 which will be covering the West Indies and Pakistan. The deadline for this is 7pm GMT on Wednesday 7th (please bear in mind I may not run the draft immediately at that time but I will ignore anything received after that time!)

Do you have to bid on every player?

Not necessary, but it'll be good for you if you do. Otherwise you might end up with a junk player with the highest bid of the round, as per the rules.

Afraid so, sorry!
If the format keeps the attention levels may well do a back to back draft and follow it with something (if I can think of an original idea)
