Round 3 Stipulation:

Choose a player from Bangladesh or New Zealand or South Africa or Zimbabwe AND who made his test debut after 1 Jan 1990.

 

[anil1405]

A reminder that in the case of a tie (same player receiving two same amount bids), none of the drafters will get that player.

So if say two drafters are fighting for the same (third priority) player and their bid is a tie then both drafters will receive penalty picks.

 

[Line and Length]

Bids sent

 

[honestbharani]

happy to assemble the Ws.

 

[CricAddict]

I am a big fan of Walsh and I am loving it that I got him

 

[CricAddict]

just like @Line and Length, I have a crib on the penalty player too. Yes, I joined the draft late due to various reasons but I do not want to play the whole game knowing from the start that I am losing.

@anil1405 This request is not to you but to the general voters at the end of the draft to base my team on the 10 players that I have post joining the draft and not consider Santner while voting.

You can select 12 players totally.

You can select 12 players totally.

Great. That sorts this issue out.

 

[anil1405]

All bids are in and locked.

- Himannv's fascination for picking a top quality pace attack has taken shape
- trundler and JOJO have had a close shave with a penalty pick but were lucky enough to escape it, just like Ankit did in last round
- LL is very lucky to get his first priority pick
- cricaddict with the smartass pick of this round
- HB with his typical HB pick

Round 4 Stipulation:

Pick a player who has carried his bat through a test innings OR a bowler who has taken 9 or more wickets in an innings.

Remember to check the players who have already been picked before sending in the bids.

 

[anil1405]

Update: News coming in that Simon Katich has requested the draft organiser to ignore any incoming bids for him other than from his honest fan Bharani.

The draft organiser has now responded by saying that his wish is as safe as a crocodile in water.

 

[Line and Length]

Bids in. It's good to have details of others' bids publshed as I'm learning some strategies.

Just waiting on @Michaelf7777777 l to finish off this round.

Are you guys open to questions that require a bit of research or you want straightforward ones where it is easy to identify players who fit the criteria?

I prefer research.
