Accepted

Don't know Shelsey, I got Hussey after Gregers had said shut but before Sainty had.

As I was busy bidding as 5 different people its Sainty's call tonight

cheers shels, nice try though

deal is confirmed and he is in my squad

cya tomorrow i have £455k to spend

already happy with my squad though

one of them said shut at 9, dosent matter which one...

Personally I had another bid for Smith typed up ready to go but didn't post as Gregers message was there but not Saintys

So I'd say it closed when Gregers message went up

Nothing more to add apart from:

Hales
Warner
Iqbal
Rahane
Taylor
Hussey
Patel

Somerset eat your heart out.

it did lol, as long as one of them says it at 9 it dosent matter..

deal is confirmed and he is in my squad

i have to go.

Sorry about that Marsh, I almost missed out on getting Paddy by altering my post to include olly's increased bid by pm

Hales - decent
Warner - poor against swing
Iqbal - useless t20 record
Rahane - useless t20 record
Taylor - too low at 5
Hussey - can't play spin
Patel - not aggressive enough for 7
















Relax, I'm joking.

Yeah Gregs posted first, so it was closed when he said so.

"Notts's top 3 were blown away again today...." - Where is Sainty when you need him!

Was the bane of the IPL for me!

Surprised Sangakkara didn't fetch a higher price and Darren Bravo an absolute steal.

Otherwise, things went just about as I expected them to today.

Hey Guys, who did I get Gregers?
From what I see it's Smith, Khawaja and Vinay Kumar. Could you confirm it for me?

Thank you ever so much Gregers, I know it must have been stressful

After scrolling through it seems I got

Steve Smith for 110K
Vinay Kumar for 75K
Usman Khawaja for 75K

Yep it was Smith, Kumar and Khawaja

Thanks a lot Gregers I appreciate it

Np mate, as I've said bidding as 4 people plus myself was fun...
