Auction draft II - ODI

[Cevno]

The list won't be up till Thursday evening.

As I'm away for the weekend I wasn't planning on closing the next round till Monday but since you've given me warning and we've had a great run of full submission to date, I'm happy to delay it a day till Tuesday.

That goes for everyone else - if you're away, please give warning and I can try to fit the draft around you (within reason).

Thanks.

I'm not sure, but I guess McCullum cost him over $ 2 mn, too.

Not possible. McCullum cost him either $1,422,000 or $1,450,001. In my opinion, it was the latter

 

[marc71178]

The old guess who's paid what game is great - I will put the final spreadsheet up this time (partly as it'll hopefully help weldone do his one assuming he still wants to that is)

 

[Pothas]

Who went for over 2 milllion? Pietersen I would guess.

There was a 1.5 as well maybe Sehwag.

 

[Himannv]

I'm fairly confident that I've hit the nail somewhere in the general vicinity of the head.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Also, have to remember that I have complete carte blanche over who I pick in times of trouble - depends what mood I'm in as to who I pick...

My sympathies for the bad month then marc

lol...I wish my spreadsheet could factor in your mood as one of the inputs :P

As a consequence of the above revelations, I'm going to have to request Marc to submit himself to a daily evaluation of basal body temperature and cervical mucus viscosity for my records. I'm taking no chances.

Your nail is about spot on.

Be such a stupid move to bid 2M on McCullum. Those bids are reserved for Gilchrist, Dhoni etc.

Or even 3 million.....

 

[Himannv]

I bid in the range of 2 million for them both. Somewhat surprised that they went for more.

 

[Blakus]

The thing with Dhoni is he fills 2 roles, giving me one of the best finishers ever and a keeper. The important part is that he's good enough as a batsman that I can cope with getting another keeper.

Still I probably overpaid for him.

I'll send the bids and nomination within 24 hours or so...Can't send now as I don't have access to personal mail from office...

 

[marc71178]

Cheers. So far only received from honestbharani, Pothas, Himannv and Noble One

 

[pskov]

Some of you guys seem to be taking this a lot more seriously and thinking about it a lot more than I am!

 

[Cevno]

Mail Sent .

Yet you have IMO the best attack at the moment!

 

[weldone]

round 7 bids and round 8 nomination sent...

 

[weldone]

Best bowling attack so far, yes he has. Pothas has easily the best team so far (considering Patel as a reserve)... And weldone says, competition isn't even half over yet :P ....We have started the middle overs now, after the first two powerplays ....There are some who are on 140/6 after the first 20 overs, some on 70/2; and there are some who've scored 100/2

With my budget remaining I would say I'm more like 200/8.

Will send my bids in tonight Marc.

Cheers, only you and Joe to send in now.

I guess you might have been in a manageable position had you not made that blunder with Sangakkara bid.
