Finances: £45,000

My squad is now settled, don't think I'll be taking any more bids, unless there is something ridiculously good.

suprised at how much you ended up paying for afridi

He was the final piece in the jigsaw. Scores plenty of runs in the sub-continent, at a strike rate of 150+ in T20, and his bowling is an equally valuable asset. Economical and takes wickets.

Quality T20 all-rounder.

lol i remeber when freddie flintoff used to play for chennai

Uthappa + Tait/Alfonso Thomas for Suresh Raina?

FoF, are you willing to listen to any offers for Badrinath or Raina? would be willing to offer Ganguly/D. Karthik plus one or two others in my squad (Ryder, Lumb, couple of young Indians)

Raina's one of my main men, sorry guys!

Anything for Ashwin?

And do you want McCullum at all?

mishra and manpreet gony for mendis?

Ross Taylor for Badrinath?

Saha for Taylor + Christian?

manpreety gony+ chipli for raina?

Nehra for either Afridi,Ajmal or Mendis

Ashwin + Raina + Nannes
4
Murali + Laxman + Sree

Enquiry

ashwin for Ross Taylor and Johan Botha

Fists mate you have only 11 Indians in your squad.You need another Indian to complete your squad.
I am offering you Ashish Nehra,a quality Indian seamer(you dont have even a single Indian seamer) and asking you to give Afridi,Ajmal or Mendis.
You surely cant play all 3 at a time.

Give one to me and you have one of the best limited overs seamers from India.

Please mate.

Course I can play all 3 at a time, if it's a turning pitch. Nehra for one of those 3? Got to be having a laugh, worst offer I've ever seen haha.

O'Brien for Saha/ Bravo/ Du Plessis?

Fists not to mention you can play 4 spinners with Ashwin.

Yeah indeed mate, on a bunsen burner I have many options.

My trading is done now fellas, just ready for the season to kick off

you only have 11 indian players

I have 12, signed one earlier.

And what if its a seam friendly pitch?
You dont have even a single Indian seamer.You could do with one.You have 3 quality overseas spinners plus India's best spinner atm in Ashwin who are unlikely to play together unless its an absolute turner.So you could give me one of Afridi,Ajmal or Mendis and have Nehra who is a quality limited overs seamer for India.Check his record mate.

I have Nannes and Southee, two very good seamers. Tyagi and Mahesh are my Indian seamers.

anyone for ashwin?

Munaf and VDM for Vijay?

Is there anyone in my team you would want for Ajmal,Mendis or Afridi?

No thanks mate, they're all tremendous T20 players, and I intend on letting them loose to cause destruction in this league

until they face my world class bowling attack

Raina is going to smash them out of the park

Yusuf Pathan for any of those3?

Until someone bowls a short bowl at Raina and gets him out

u wish fists.

Short ball will sit up to be whacked in most cases here mate If this was the 'big bash' being played in Perth I'd worry haha.

i would say the one thing to watch out for with your side fists is your spin attack

Akmal for Saha?

brett lee for albie morkel?

You have been after Yusuf Pathan.So how about him for one of Afridi,Ajmal or Mendis?

Saha deal - no, I have the minimum of 12 Indians.
Brett Lee deal - no, Morkel is one of the best t20 all-rounders.
Afridi/Ajmal/Mendis deal - no.

notice that you haven't picked Badrinath in your first game. could we do a deal for him? (I could offer you Bhatt (young Indian SLA) + one of Lumb/Ryder/Collingwood for instance)

I rate Badrinath mate, just keeping him fresh for the next one, given that we can't play all of our players all the time.

fair enough, so take it you're not interested in a deal for him (or Srikkanth/Raina/Vijay - am after a quality Indian batsman)

I only have 12 Indians mate, so need to keep hold of them, and as you say they're all pretty high quality so I'll be looking to keep them.

Anyone for Du Plessis?

I was going to offer you an Indian in exchange, but if you want to keept them then fair enough.

Saha for O'Brien + Bhatia?

vettori and azhar mahmood for mendis?

Raina + Mendis 4 Jayawardene + Tanmay + Sree

No to all.

anyone for dhoni?
