Fair enough Eds, give it a think.

Also, Somers, what will it take for you to give me Steyn?

From the look of the last tour - you could either use an opener or a middle order bat.

I would like to say though that he shouldn't come at full price because your board is refusing to play him. Therefore how about McCullum straight up for him.

Vettori has lots of experience stopping collapses.

I am willing to trade any of my FC players for one of your back up wicketkeepers neither of whom will make your top 14.

Depending on what the squad of 14 is based on, I could be up for this. If the three backup players are there in order to best cover as many positions as possible, then I'd take a batsman, wicket-keeper and bowler. If it's just based on player quality, then I'd just take the best three players, obviously. Care to shed some light on this?

Your playing XI needs to be a balanced side. Your top 14 should be a regular squad that you would take on tour - so you may well want a back up keeper.

That said you have two good back up keepers and you can't put both in your 14. How do you rank your keepers for England?

Alright, cheers. I'll take a backup keeper then. Don't have a strong feeling either way in Davies vs Bairstow so am welcome to offers for either.

Will give you Andre Adams who has a bowling avg in the low twenties and would make good trade bait for NUFAN and will throw in my fastest bowler Adam Milne who can bowl 150kms.

Interested in Davies.

Not sure either would make my 14 rendering the trade useless for me.

Only interested in those that would make it.

Pieces of a jigsaw puzzle mate - you can put them into a massive package deal for a Bangers star player. Plus you have 7 trades up your sleeve.

(I don't really have anyone that will make your top 14 apart from Vettori and I don't even know if he would get in there.)

Taylor/Ryder and Vettori would definitely be in contention.

You interested in Bairstow at all? Would do Adams + another reasonable player, for him.

@eds

Package deal

Vettori and Adams

for

Katich, Davies, and someone else I can use (make me an offer),

[NUFAN]

Athlai - Mahmudullah for Angelo Matthews?

Interested in Vettori and Adams individually, but not together. Getting Vettori would defeat the point of me going for Adams (ie. to attempt to get a decent trade together for Shakib). Also, I don't fancy getting rid of Katich, tbh.

Adams + someone = Bairstow

works for me, though.
