Auction draft II - ODI

[pskov]

It's not Jayasuriya. That's for sure ...could be anyone else, Agarkar and Kemp included ...

It definitely wasn't Kemp.

I would have rather gotten one of the top tier players to be honest, definitely surprised I didn't bid enough to get any of them, but it's difficult to be disappointed with getting Kemp for so little.

[weldone]

round 3 bids and round 4 nomination sent...

 

[Himannv]

Sent in my bids and nomination as well.

 

[Somerset]

I assume Sobers attracted the 3 million bid?

Nope, I only paid a little over $2million for him actually.

 

[Blakus]

Happy I got Agarkar for so cheap. He's actually quite a useful ODI player

[honestbharani]

[marc71178]

Received.

 

[G.I.Joe]

I won't ever finish rounds early weldone, the deadline is there for a reason (as people can change their bids if they want to and also as I've picked a time when I should be able to get results up fairly promptly)

The following have been drafted:

A Agarkar - Blakus
S Bond - Pothas
M Clarke - Cevno
R Hadlee - honestbharani
S Jayasuriya - weldone
J Kemp - Pskov
L Klusener - Noble One
M Muralitharan - Himannv
V Richards - G.I.Joe
G Sobers - Somerset

For the record, the 3 players I added were A Agarkar, S Bond and M Sami.

The winning bids were (from lowest to highest) - $4, $300,011, $1,000,000, $1,500,000, $1,502,618, $2,105,000, $2,345,676, $2,400,799, $2,500,011, $3,100,999.


Round 3 is open with the following players available:

M Boucher
T Chappell
Kapil Dev
A Flower
B Lee
Saqlain Mushtaq
G Smith
P Strang
S Tendulkar
Mohammad Yousuf

Deadline of 10am Saturday please.

Will send mine tomorrow. One of the players keeps calling me up asking to be valued at 10000000 dollars.

 

[Himannv]

Will send mine tomorrow. One of the players keeps calling me up asking to be valued at 10000000 dollars.

So I take it that Paul Strang will join your lineup soon?

 

[honestbharani]

Will send mine tomorrow. One of the players keeps calling me up asking to be valued at 10000000 dollars.

I don't see Michael Clarke in that list...

 

[weldone]

Will send mine tomorrow. One of the players keeps calling me up asking to be valued at 10000000 dollars.

I say pay him even more than he wants. In that way, you can make 10 persons happy. That player, and the 9 of us. Don't lose that chance.

I guess that player stays near my house (I'm not joking, he really does )...Today I saw a lot of traffic near his house. Probably all the journalists of Mumbai came in anticipation of the news

 

[Cevno]

I sent the e-mail some hours ago now.

Hopefully you receive it marc.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Sent

PS: Forgot to change the subject line. Its says Round 3 nomination instead of Round 3 bids, Marc,

[G.I.Joe]

Haha, Himannv, you big spender. I thought my bid for Tendulkar was high enough.
Having both Viv and Sachin in the same team would have been epic WIN, but its not to be, and I really can't complain about getting Brett Lee instead. Definitely one of the all time great ODI bowlers. That Strike rate of 29 is insane.
