Auction draft 2011

[Somerset]

Ah, we'll be missing those USD 8 mn and USD 6 mn bids for Bradman, Sobers etc

Surprised anyone remembered!

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)

Sweet as.

Can change bids up to the deadline if you want.

Can change bids up to the deadline if you want.

not lazy actually but at work.. Can always post few line comments but pretty hard to work out with a bunch of names in a notepad and stuff..

More than the results for round 1, I am eagerly waiting for the nominations for round 2.

Edit: Auction drafts are so much fun! There should always be 1 auction draft running in CW

[smash84]

wow......some top notch names in there.....

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Can't say I'm very happy with the Aamir nomination but oh well.

 

[Himannv]

Nice start.

 

[Howe_zat]

Nice. I get the impression I probably over-bid for Tayfield as he's not widely given the attention I think he deserves, but I was not going to be stuck with Harris.

On reflection, a surprising number of spinners went, in a round full of South Africans.
