Auction draft 2011

[Himannv]

Trying to make us think there.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm finding Micaelf77777's round round-ups most useful in that regard. Won't say who's yet to send though. Spoilers etc.

 

[marc71178]

Ha ha, keep people on the edge of their seats!

 

[four_or_six]

Just sent mine.

 

[smash84]

pretty happy to get Dhoni for that price and sent the bids for next round

have been having trouble with internet these days and don't like to access CW at work

 

[marc71178]

smalishah and weeman's received.

Waiting on Vimes and pskov.

In other news Manisha is offering me money for my opinion - seems legit.

Now, who is she ???

 

[Himannv]

The mention of the name "Manisha" has left everyone interested.

 

[G.I.Joe]

[marc71178]

Apologies for the delay, some weird SMART related errors, which I'm going to blame Manisha for.

[Himannv]

Aha Barnes. Happy to get the guy I nominated there.

 

[kyear2]

As usual thanks Michael, seems to me Blakus and Pothas seems to have the advantage at this point.

 

[smash84]

what terrible players in this round

 

[Blakus]

I quite like the look of pskov's team as well. Of course there's still plenty of drafting left, so things could change quite quickly
