It will be interesting to see how much Sylvers goes for as there seems to be a few desperates for quicks.

Do I give Salman Butt the captaincy? :ph34r:


If Salman Butt and Dominic Cork are my weakest links, I'm pretty happy tbh.

Quality round. Good to see teammates Benaud and Harvey going for good $$ (I'm a big Neil Harvey fan).

Also interesting to see Sidhu go for a fair bit more than Wessels.

Finally, well done to ohno who bought Fred's vote with Sylvers.

200k to splash on a replacement for Cork, Butt, or back-up players. Very happy with how this XI has come out. World-class opening bowlers, more than handy third seamer, one of the highest quality spinners up for grabs to keep things tight, and Jackson/Macartney are more than capable of churning out 10 overs of quality each per day.

Meanwhile an opening partnership of two unfulfilled talents (Butt was getting pretty good before he got banned), followed up by the man I would argue is close to the best non-Bradman #3 of all time, one of Pakistan's best ever and a Lara clone. Jackson averages nearly 50 in Tests, and the side bats to 10 (Cork has a FC double ton FFS; should arguably bat above Mitch).

And in Healy I have a classy 'keeper.

High quality round to finish with. Devo'd that The Don didn't crop up for the final round, but plenty of decent pace options among this bunch

Can we bid the same and have an order of preference or just bid a dollar difference?

If Don was available, I would be like a captain on the first morning of a test under cloudy skies. Think about being funky and sending them in/going someone else then realizing its Sir Don Bradman
