I've got some more late bids lined up Cool

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 28 Feb 2012, 9:27 pm

Big day tomorrow some top players in there and some real steals. I've got me eye on some big players Wink

No not Tendulkar Cricket Fan

by Shelsey93 Tue 28 Feb 2012, 9:29 pm

Indeed. Looks like a huge day. 3 massive bargains in their as well - though of course if people bid against each other that could change.

by **Mat** Tue 28 Feb 2012, 9:33 pm

I have my eye on a couple of players, none of them in the top two brackets.

Can see some big bids coming in tomorrow for Tendulkar and Dhoni.

by Mad for Chelsea Tue 28 Feb 2012, 9:34 pm

Dhoni and Tendulkar are over-rated in T20s, there are better players in the auction tomorrow Wink

by Gregers Tue 28 Feb 2012, 9:36 pm

Dhoni might well break the £1million barrier....

I think this might be the strongest day for the lower two brackets, some quality players in there

by Marsh Wed 29 Feb 2012, 9:40 am

Start things off...

by Mad for Chelsea Wed 29 Feb 2012, 1:50 pm

Durham
Aaron Finch
75k

by Marsh Wed 29 Feb 2012, 3:09 pm

Lancs
Kohli
£155k

by Mad for Chelsea Wed 29 Feb 2012, 3:13 pm

I think Kohli might attract a few bidders TBH, criminally under-priced at 150k.

by Guest Wed 29 Feb 2012, 3:29 pm

im suprised no one has bid for hafeez!

by Mad for Chelsea Wed 29 Feb 2012, 3:31 pm

maybe coz he's really not that good. Sure does a decent job with the ball, but I don't really rate him as a batsman.

by Guest Wed 29 Feb 2012, 3:55 pm

Leicestershire bid 700k for Dhoni.

by Mad for Chelsea Wed 29 Feb 2012, 3:57 pm

by Guest Wed 29 Feb 2012, 5:08 pm

by Mad for Chelsea Wed 29 Feb 2012, 5:11 pm

I may be being obtuse here, but who's Bailey? Headscratch

seriously?!?! I've never even heard of this guy... Just checked his record, nothing seems really special there, don't think he'll attract much interest with far better players (IMO) available for lower prices.

Also, no one's bidded for Tendulkar yet..

by Mad for Chelsea Wed 29 Feb 2012, 5:15 pm

anyway let's try and kick things off a bit here:

Durham
Kohli - 175k
Umar Akmal - 150k

by Gregers Wed 29 Feb 2012, 5:17 pm

He's in the top bracket due to being Australian captain, Younis is high bracket because... well because.

I'd missed Kohli until yesterday, mid bracket is fine for him. If he goes for over 300k anyways (as I think he might)

by GG Wed 29 Feb 2012, 5:17 pm

Kohli
Yorkshire
200k

by Mad for Chelsea Wed 29 Feb 2012, 5:19 pm

that's more like it GG Very Happy

by Gregers Wed 29 Feb 2012, 5:19 pm

And so the bidding war on Kohli starts!

by GG Wed 29 Feb 2012, 5:20 pm

by Mad for Chelsea Wed 29 Feb 2012, 5:26 pm

trying to work out how much I'm willing to spend on Kohli Headscratch

bearing in mind they're two days of auction left and I have about 800k at the moment.
