ORLY. z

That's for all trades - nothing specific to multi-player trades

I don't get what you're saying

 

[weldone]

I don't get what you're saying

That rule is applicable to all trades.

 

[cnerd123]

*****, I'll give you two quick bowlers, one from each pool, plus Michael Bracewell for Nasir Hossain + Tamim Iqbal:

Pool A: Mark Gillespie, Brent Arnel, Graeme Aldridge, Doug Bracewell
Pool B: Mitch McCleneghan, Kyle MIlls, Ben Wheeler, Bevan Small, Jacob Duffy

Give me Doug Bracewell and you can have Anamul Haque.

 

[Jarquis]

Yeah, and in one of your trades you're giving away 7 and across two trades you're giving away 8.

 

[weldone]

Yeah, and in one of your trades you're giving away 7 and across two trades you're giving away 8.

So?

 

[Cabinet96]

You're only allowed to trade 6 players who aren't part of your 15.

 

[weldone]

Oops ok.

@morgieb, deal not possible then. I'll propose a new one.

 

[cnerd123]

If I'm not mistaken I get one free draft of any player available?

In which case I take Dale Steyn. If I can give up one of my fringe players, I give up Shamsur Rahman. If I have to give up one of my starting 15, I sacrifice Jubair Hossain.

 

[weldone]

Morgieb, name your price for (Warner + Watson + Pattinson).

You'll get any 5 players from outside my squad, and a few more from within.

 

[Cabinet96]

Bull.

Nah, you can draft any player not named in a 15.

 

[Dan]

Give me Doug Bracewell and you can have Anamul Haque.

No thanks. Bracewell would be Bangladesh's GOAT fast bowler; why would I trade him for someone who I'd have behind Todd Astle, HamRud and Jeet Raval in the opening stakes.

Bracewell and Gillespie for Tamim is my offer. Take it or leave it, but they improve your fast bowling exponentially.

 

[cnerd123]

Nah, you can draft any player not named in a 15.

So I sub out a player in my 15 for one outside the 15 of another country?

Okay, will get to that tmrw. Probably Gazi to be subbed out, just realised his action has been cleared yet :P

And no on Tamim for Bracewell. Tamim is Bangladesh's GOAT opening bat and we have literally no one behind him. His value to BD is far greater than Bracewell's is to NZ.

 

[weldone]

Ok morgieb, here is my revised trade offer, as the earlier one wasn't legal.

(MS Dhoni + Shikhar Dhawan + Manoj Tiwary + Badrinath + Gambhir / Sehwag + Karn Sharma / Akshar Patel) for (Warner + Watson + Pattinson).

 

[Dan]

And no on Tamim for Bracewell. Tamim is Bangladesh's GOAT opening bat and we have literally no one behind him. His value to BD is far greater than Bracewell's is to NZ.

This may be true, but Bracewell's value to Bangladesh is far greater than Tamim's value to Bangladesh, considering Bangladesh also have Anamul, Mominul, Shakib, Nasir, Marmadoola and Rahim who can score runs, but literally nobody who can bowl seam-up to Sydney Grade Cricket standard.

Anyway, moving on. morgieb, Jesse Ryder + a non-squad batsman/keeper/all-rounder of your choice for Shane Watson. Not only does Watson **** off out of the Australian team, but you don't have to trade with weldone either!

Cabinet, how can I pick up Faf from you? Neesham to solve the all-rounder problem and Brownlie as an opener?

 

[weldone]

With my offer, morgieb can end up with an Australian top 7 of

1. Shikhar Dhawan
2. Chris Rogers (/ Gambhir / Sehwag, if he wants)
3. Badrinath
4. Steve Smith*
5. Manoj Tiwary
6. MS Dhoni+
7. Mitchell Marsh

That's better than the current Australian batting line-up, in spite of Warner.

 

[Cabinet96]

Cabinet, how can I pick up Faf from you? Neesham to solve the all-rounder problem and Brownlie as an opener?

Think you might have a hard time because NZ aren't particularly that strong in the areas where SA are weak. Feel that trade would weaken my batting and I don't really need a fifth bowler at the moment. Though I guess I might want a fourth seamer if I swap Abbott for Babar.

Btw, if no one can top that Marcuss offer I'll be taking.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Hang on, hang on. Don't ***** and I get to pick two players who weren't drafted into people's starting line-ups before the trading starts? I couldn't pick until all teams had been selected, but my first pick was going to be Pragyan Ojha due to desperate need for a spinner.

"8) Special rules for Bangers and Zimbos. Bangers and Zimbos general managers may draft two players who are not named in the initial lists of 15 from other countries. Only one player can be drafted from each country. This is to stop Australia being hit for 4 quick bowlers. This drafting will take place at the beginning of the game. I will flip a coin and let those managers know who will draft first."

Unless I've misunderstood this - but I would like to select Ojha and Ryder.
