Well, I wouldn't have put money on Shaid "Trevor Francis" Afridi being the first million pound man!

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 4:53 pm

1 million for Afridi? What's going on? I'm cunningly biding my time in the auctions, so that at the end of the weak everyone's money's gone and I can snap up a few bargains, muhahahaha!

by **Fists of Fury** Tue 30 Aug 2011, 4:54 pm

I rate his leg-spin bowling very highly in the shorter format, and likewise his batting is incredibly destructive, particularly on flat slow wickets.

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 4:54 pm

Afridi
RCB

£1,200,000

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 4:55 pm

yeah his bowling's very good, but can't remember the last time he really scored any runs. Don't get me wrong, he's a fine player, but can't see him being worth over 1 million!

Laugh

Brilliant!

by **Fists of Fury** Tue 30 Aug 2011, 4:59 pm

Ouch, 1.2 million he is all yours, Liam.

Did well in getting you to spend all your money, didn't I? Laugh

Just joking, I did actually want him, but he does have a tendency to get out for next to nothing far too often, and as such...I'm Out.

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:01 pm

It may seem like a waste of money but I don't need many more players and Afridi I really wanted

by Gregers Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:01 pm

Its a heck of a lot of money Liam!

good grief I go away for a few minutes and my target Roy is now rated at 350k, I'll leave you guys to that one I think...

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:18 pm

Roy is not going higher than 350k from my wallet. I need a hitter, but there is another lad later on the week who will do better for me than Roy.

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:18 pm

Btw i've pulled out of the Afridi deal

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:19 pm

Will be happy to be add Roy to my destructive batting line-up

by Gregers Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:19 pm

Okay, bid removed. CSK have the lead at 1million

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:20 pm

wouldn't be Buttler would it JD? Wink

by Gregers Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:21 pm

Is everyone interested in young Jos then?

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:21 pm

You oh dear MFC! Didn't even give that much away! You going for him aswell then?

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:24 pm

Had a feeling everyone would go for Buttler so went for Roy

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:25 pm

I'll probably have a look at him, if it doesn't go too high, but a lot depends on what happens in the next couple of days for me...

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:26 pm

Gregers,

Lara
RCB
180K

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:26 pm

I wouldn't surprise me if Buttler went for over 500K

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:30 pm

Ah well, I rate Buttler higher than Roy so I would happily go higher, but maybe not above 500k for Jos.

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:30 pm

gonna depend on how much money I have left...

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:33 pm

Yeah, tomorrow is a huge day for me, so we will see after that.

by Guest Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:38 pm

wasim jaffer could only have got a bid cos he's indian, otherwise he isnt worth anything lol.

by JDizzle Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:42 pm

Wasim Jaffer doesn't even stand out in the Birmingham Premier League which is only a few divisions above what I play! Can I be in the Auction then? Cool

by GG Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:50 pm

Lara
RR
190k

by **Fists of Fury** Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:50 pm

My last signing was going to be Iqbal or Afridi, as I wanted an explosive opener.

Afridi brings a bit more to the table I think due to the bowling option, and given that this league is in the sub-continent his batting will be very effective, given the slow, low tracks.

by Liam_Main Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:50 pm

Lara
RCB
220K

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:52 pm

I think Iqbal's gonna fetch a lot of money tomorrow...

by Guest Tue 30 Aug 2011, 5:54 pm

Just looked at Bishoo, if I didn't already have my spin options covered I'd definitely be in for him, has a fantastic t20 record.

by Guest Tue 30 Aug 2011, 6:08 pm
