This seems fun! Gonna follow this...
From the look of the last tour - you could either use an opener or a middle order bat.Will trade Gayle if Im able to get a better batting lineup, but looks tough atm..
Vettori has lots of experience stopping collapses.Depends on the quality of player your willing to offer. My biggest problem atm is the tendency for my batting order to collapse. Any of Trott, Pietersen, Cook or Bell would be ideal. Would also consider Prior.
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.Anyone with a lower standard side - I've got the likes of Shah, Bopara, Panesar, Patel etc. who I'm willing to trade. Maybe a bundle trade for one of your better players? Ganeshran? NUFAN? Athlai?
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?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.
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.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?
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.Alright, cheers.

Not sure either would make my 14 rendering the trade useless for me.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.
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.Not sure either would make my 14 rendering the trade useless for me.
Only interested in those that would make it.
Taylor/Ryder and Vettori would definitely be in contention.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.)
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.@eds

Eds. I understand you probably want Shakib Al Hasan as he might be ideal to fill that number 6 or 7 role for your team ahead of Morgan.As persuasive as you are, I'm not sure.
Considering making an offer of Broad/Tremlett/Bresnan for him, but not sure if it would benefit my squad, considering I've already offloaded Finn (who would've come in to the squad if I did this trade). Will have a think about it and get back to you tomorrow.

Indeed I am interested in Shakib, but definitely would need to be less than that. All of the above in serious contention for the squad. Definitely would need a better offer than that.Eds.

I would trade you my star Shakib for: Tremlett, Bopara and Onions too.
