Greatest Trade?

Just chatting to Blewy on MSN about trading and some of the first deals we did through the seasons, but got me thinking with the trade period arriving soon who has done the best trading move ever? and what's your personal trade your most proud of?


Best Trade Of All Time - Blewy (SA)

Blewy for Somerset's 1st DP pick.

I must say that has to be the best piece of managerment I've seen so far... We all thought Blewy was was nuts getting rid of Blewy who had an avg of well over 50 and a OD of nearly 40, at the time with a weak SA side it looked a massive move...

It wasn't the fact of getting the DP but using it to pick up R Stratton over the likes of Allen and Darden. R Stratton who quite fankly did rubbish in his first season however Blewy kept faith and is probley now the best AR in WCC on overall avg's and his performances have been fanatstic all season.

But I can safty say that your the one laughing well and truely at us all now.


My Best Trade - B Lara To NSW

B Lara + M Banes + A Loudon FOR S Waugh + S Clark + M Clarke

Well I wouldn't say it was my best as in who I got etc but it was the trade that changed my teams lives forever... as it gave me players people wantted to trade with and it kinda flowed on with better and better players arriving and the draft also helped that year in a big way.

i got jayasuria form some1..... it has been my best trade. he has been averaging 25 4d and 20 1d but his retirement was the thing that mattered. because i got jayasuia and he retired i have got birch out of that tarde... who exceeds all possible expectations :). so indirectly that was the best trade i have ever done!

Ditto with my pick of Blewett (until recently he was top FC run scorer for the season in ALL divisions!)

I think it was pretty obvious i was throwing the matches, just look at the players i played like Agarkar. With a player like him do u really think i had a chance of winning? :lol:

I didn't mean playing badly, I meant my pick wwas inspired!

The season I "threw" was where you and I split 1st and 2nd place between us in both comps!

This constant besmirching of the good name of AA must stop, or vengeance will be ours.
