Relieved to get my highest bid for the round, Rahul Dravid. A classy bat, capable of both finishing games and stepping on the gear in the slog overs, and my wicketkeeper. Kept wickets well enough for a team to make a World Cup final, and that's one better than 99% of keepers out there tbh. Its an awesome batting lineup, imo.

Wow, people are still throwing out some big money I see lol.. Me I'm almost broke. Happy to get Lehmann at that sort of price though. Pretty good in this particular format I reckon and a very underrated bowler as well I'd say. Averages 27 odd with the ball with a good strike rate and decent economy rate. Almost 39 with the bat too at a SR above 80.
1. Geoff Boycott
2. Sachin Tendulkar

4. Darren Lehmann
5. Jonty Rhodes
6. Angelo Mathews
7. Shakib al Hasan

9. Joel Garner
10. Andy Roberts
11. Muthiah Muralitharan
12. Robin Singh
Quite a few who can contribute something with the ball here. Roberts, Garner, Mathews, Murali, Shakib, Lehmann and even Tendulkar.

Lehmann was my nomination, he's very under rated, yeah. Plan was to go for him this round and nominate and go for Dravid later. But someone else nominated Dravid this round itself, so I had to go for the keeper.
You have a lot of excellent bowling options.

Watson?
Andrew Symonds was my top bid so pleased to get him. Devastating batsman, handy 5th bowler and a wonderful fielder too. Perfect to slot in at 6 for me.

Had no access to the forum yesterday and so obviously couldn't submit - bit gutted because thats basically all of my budget gone! Will have to spend extremely wisely from here on in to have a decent final team. By the way Marc could you email me whatever is left of my budget?
