T20I Auction Draft (Stipulation Based)

[Line and Length]

The cost is average of the other 1st Priority Bids plus $20 for Option 1 and same but for 2nd priority bids for Option 2 - CricAddict's low bids stopped it being 157 and 91 respectively.

Berrington pick noted.

Fair explanation. My mistake in bidding for players who attracted the most/highest bids. Ironically, my third bid was almost for a player that didn't attract a bid, but I changed at the last minute.
I can accept the penalty prices, but the players are harder. Given there were originally well over 30 to pick from I believe I could have been offered a more reasonable choice at those prices.

Given there were originally well over 30 you could've been smarter with your bids. You cannot bid less than $100 for a prime player like Buttler and then keep nagging about the quality of the penalty players when it has clearly been stated that they won't be worth the value.

The penalty pick is an indication for you to watch out for your bids more carefully in future rounds and this is a draft where if you are smart enough you can nab a good player for $1. Besides there are 12 rounds and hence a chance for you to make up for your mistake.

@CricAddict to PM bids, have bids from everyone else

Thanks for the advice. My mistake for not going with my original third pick. I didn't think my post was "nagging", I just haven't seen where it states they (the penalty players) won't be worth the value. Perhaps you could indicate where this was stated.

KingKallis's bids cost you at the death, the risk taken in reasonably low bids almost paying off. Before those bids Teuton had Maxwell, allowing Michaelf7 to have McCullum and you to have Watson.

There were well over 30 to pick from although a lot of them far worse than the options provided playing for likes of Kuwait, Czech Republic etc. But effectively it makes low bids a high risk/high reward strategy - had kingkalls bid for other players someone could have got Watson for as cheap as $1 but a high risk if it doesn't pay off.

A decision to be made for all drafters if they go for a Berrington as one of their picks on the cheap or go for a more established player - being significantly better off if they get the more established player but significantly worse off if they get the less established player at an inflated price.

But with 12 players to be pruned down to a final 11 - plenty of scope to recover over the remaining rounds.

Players you send me should fit the criteria for that round and if none of your 3 bids for that round happen to be successful bids then I will ask you to choose a penalty player who isn't going to be worth the value for the price I am going to set for him.

If you are unsuccessful with your 3 bids, you will choose between 2 penalty players - Player A's price will be set at the average bid for 1st priority players by every other drafter during that round+$20. So if your bids are unsuccessful and the average 1st priority bid by everyone else is $80 then one of the 2 players you will be offered will be Player A at $100. - $80 (average first priority bid) + $20.

This will also be the case for the 2nd penalty player I offer unsuccessful bidders - however instead Player B's price will be set at the average bid for the 2nd priority players. So if the average 2nd priority bid by everyone else is $50 then the 2nd of the 2 players you will be offered will be Player B at $70. - $50 (average second priority bid) + $20.

In short you'd do well to ensure one of your 3 bids each round is successful.

All bids received, away from laptop for a little bit but will have round 2 results and round 3 stipulation in 30-45mins

Check the OP again or first para of post #26 that JOJO has posted for reference again. It was stated in the rules of the test version draft too.

LL, even if Jojo hadn't stated it, it is implicit in the name itself. A penalty player cannot be a good one and has to be one which discourages people to get further penalties.

I know from experience of getting 3 such penalties in the previous draft ?

 

[Line and Length]

I accept that I didn't read the OP carefully enough. I move on.

 

[JOJOXI]

A bit longer than planned, apologies, but will be another 10-15mins but @CricAddict very lucky! $1 away from having to pick a penalty player.

[honestbharani]

ah crap.. Sean Williams FTW.

 

[JOJOXI]

Round 4 Stipulation: Choose a player who has played in at least one T20I and has been on the losing side in an ODI World Cup Final.

 

[JOJOXI]

And for the sake of this - New Zealand lost rather than tied the 2019 World Cup Final!

How is Shinwari higher in value? Sean Williams is a much much better player than Shinwari.

How is Shinwari higher in value? Sean Williams is a much much better player than Shinwari.

Down to interpretation but Shinwari with a solid T20I record and very economical with the ball in his rare games v full members. More anecdotally I felt he was always pretty underrated whenever I saw him in shorter formats. Whereas Sean Williams record in T20s more generally isn't great and as a batter vs the top nations in T20Is isn't much better than Shinwari's although I'd argue Shinwari is the better bowler by a decent margin.
