Bids and Nomination Sent

 

[kyear2]

Hi Marc, could you kindly send me an email with my remaining funds please.
Thanks.

 

[Pothas]

Delighted to get Engineer but makes it even more frustrating that I failed to submit last time, think I would be onto a really good side.

 

[kyear2]

Bids and nominations sent.
Seriously though who nominates some of these players. George Gladstone, thats just mean.

 

[Somerset]

Given my side's lack of bowling options Srinath's a good acquisition. Could I please have a budget update when you've got time Marc?

 

[weldone]

Vijay Hazare is a good acquisition, my middle order is as good as my bowling attack now.

Weldone XI so far:
Kumar Sangakkara
Greg Chappell
Vijay Hazare
Rashid Latif+
Richie Benaud*
Any Roberts
Dale Steyn

Reserves: Irfan Pathan, Paul Harris, Junaid Siddique, Darren Pattinson

 

[smash84]

Azhar is a decent player for the middle order

the additional advantage is that my team can make extra money on the side by fixing matches

 

[Howe_zat]

Balls.

Game's pretty much over for me then.

 

[Blakus]

Gavaskar....

Christ, I have a good opening pair

1.Jack Hobbs
2.Sunil Gavaskar
3.Stewie Dempster
4.Everton Weekes
5.Kenny Barrington
6.
7.Denis Lindsay
8.
9.Dennis Lillee
10.Subhash Gupte
11.Shoaib Akhtar

Reserves: Pommie Mbangwa, Muhmudullah

 

[weldone]

Christ, I have a good opening pair

1.Jack Hobbs
2.Sunil Gavaskar

Wow, that's just amazing!

 

[Himannv]

Kapil Dev? Seriously?

 

[marc71178]

Some oddly low values this time it seemed.

Blakus' top 5 is seriously good, just needs a top bowler and he's far and away the strongest you'd think.

 

[Himannv]

Yeah if he gets a strike bowler (and there are plenty available this round) I see him winning this easily. Well played.
