Test Auction Draft (Stipulation Based)

[trundler]

Didn't pay too much for Lillee. Nice.

@ataraxia and @Michaelf7777777 to finish off this round.

 

[Line and Length]

JOJOXI must be loving these broad stipulations. Plenty of talent in the '60s and '70s and a chance to be the only bidder on ATVG players.

 

[Teuton]

Yeah i think these are too broad (regardless of who it affects one way or another), but I forgot to vote earlier so only have myself to blame.

JOJO got Holding for $4...

 

[ankitj]

Oh ****. I was going to bid for Holding. Damn it!

 

[anil1405]

Oh ****. I was going to bid for Holding. Damn it!

Was looking for moments like these when I started this draft.

 

[ankitj]

Was looking for moments like these when I started this draft.

Was literally a toss up between Garner and Holding. Was even thinking of bidding for both, but then ... I am sure there was some clever reason for my bids but I don't remember

 

[ankitj]

Can we make round 9 quick? All timezones must be online right now.

 

[JOJOXI]

Happy with Holding was worried I might have to settle for Griffith - was trying to think around who wouldn't go for fast bowlers I thought CricAddict, Himannv and maybe Michaelf7 with their picks up to Round 7. And then trying to figure out best seam bowling options but a tough one to decide if someone will go for Holding or Roberts etc - expected lots of interest for Marshall and Garner - although interesting that had Trundler not bid for Garner he would have went unsold.

And for what its worth will be senidng my picks in next 20/30 mins.

 

[ankitj]

interesting that had Trundler not bid for Garner he would have went unsold

I would have got Warner as my 2nd choice, G Pollock would have gone unsold.

 

[JOJOXI]

I would have got Warner as my 2nd choice, G Pollock would have gone unsold.

Ah yes my bad, even when checking back at first I had still read it as G Pollock was your 1st choice for some reason

 

[trundler]

Normally I'd be quite proud of nabbing that pace attack but there's a 5'7" elephant in the room

 

[Himannv]

Normally I'd be quite proud of nabbing that pace attack but there's a 5'7" elephant in the room

Oh, I thought you were rather slim.

 

[Line and Length]

Another broad stipulation that eases the pressure on certain players.

 

[anil1405]

@honestbharani and @Michaelf7777777 left in this Round.

 

[anil1405]

With budgets getting slim, drafters need to be careful about avoiding a penalty and running the risk of not completing their sides.
