CW Random Player Auction Draft Thread

[watson]

Johnners, Pothas, Daemon, and Weldone have the strongest pairings so far, with monk not far behind. But it all depends on how many points they've burned getting their players. kyear has recovered well with Dexter as his No.3.

The question now is - Do I go for a team of mediocre players with no obvious weaknesses, or a team with a couple of Gold Tier Champions supported by a cast of Neville Nobodies?

 

[Daemon]

This is a ****ing tough round. I don't think I'll have a serious go for the Don though, since I've already spent a bit too much of Tayfield.

 

[morgieb]

I don't like how my team's gone, but I still have a lot of money to spend.

 

[Daemon]

Bit harsh on AZH, reckon he should get Nuwan for the maximum price he bid on any of his players.

I don't like how my team's gone, but I still have a lot of money to spend.

Lala Armanath is a class act and would have been happy to have him in my team, but I'm not so sure about Hick.

Hick cost me very little though.

[morgieb]

$7 million for one player?

 

[morgieb]

This round seems pretty weak. All I'm gonna say is that I'm lucky I'm not spending a lot.

 

[watson]

Pretty happy to get a left armer who can also fill that No.7 or 8 spot if need be.

Gilmour
Batting Ave = 23
Bowling Ave = 26
Bowling SR = 49

7 million for Bradman and 4 million for Lillee - Outstanding!

[Daemon]

Shaping up nicely with an opener spinner and pace bowler but I've gotta tone down on the bids I reckon, else I'll end up with 3-4 very meh players
