CW Random Player Auction Draft Thread

[NUFAN]

What are the chances that 26 regular openers will appear in the 12 rounds? BTW, I'm interested in knowing how long it took to put all the players into random.org ??

I would have just used statsguru who has the random 30 players and just include the first 13 of the names who have actually played Test Cricket. The list includes under 19's, woman, ODI etc players.

Not bad, Aamer Sohail will do for the amount I paid.

The coming rounds should be more interesting as we now have an idea of what people are bidding

 

[morgieb]

Better round.

Didn't pay much for Hick and he had moments where he didn't underachieve so I'm not complaining.

 

[watson]

A bid of 3.1 million? Holy cow, someone must have been really desperate not to get Hairy Cave Man.

Somehow I think that these names are randomly generated inside Michael's head rather than by a computer. Which is great because the imagination is awesome.

Also reasonably happy with Ashley Mallett: Ave = 29.84, SR = 75.6, and a great gully fieldsman.

 

[Daemon]

Gun round, big names up for grabs here.

Sent for R2

 

[Red]

Lever ok. Doing all this on my ph on holiday, so a bit haphazard!

Sent for R2.

 

[weldone]

Good start. Rangana Herath is a good spinner for this kind of a draft.

 

[smash84]

Pat cummins seems like a steal for that price

 

[smash84]

and yeah...Amir Sohail a decent pick for such a paltry sum

 

[Daemon]

and yeah...Amir Sohail a decent pick for such a paltry sum

How do you know how much I paid for him?

Pat Cummins is seriously unproven though, not surprised you paid very little for him. Can count the number of FC games he's played on one hand..

 

[smash84]

hasn't michael posted the winning bids for each player?

 

[weldone]

No

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Happy to get Arthur Richardson for only $10,000

He was one of the finest batsmen in 1920s and also could bowl some

 

[Daemon]

Plenty of keepers in this round. Might be worth it to nab one while there's a chance.
