Interested in Shah.

Negotiate.

Is there anyone who'd interest you?

I'd do Gambhir for Shah?

Everyone apart from Shah,Afridi and Tendo is available.

no can't afford to lose Stokes (U25 and English) and I have plenty of seam bowling options.

No deal.

Not so desperate that I'll lose two of my best batsmen.

I would let him go - however due to the U25 situation it would have to be for another u25 and the only two that interest me are Pattinson & Chandimal

not opposed to losing Wade, but I'm not massively sure I'm interested enough in anyone in your squad (apart from the NFS ones). Let me think about it...

no, don't rate Chandimal enough that I'd give up two very good T20 players for him.

Sorry mate, I need a spinner who can bat rather than a batsman who bowls occasional spin (If that makes sense)

CF has done what he did with Deccan. Messed up the squad AGAIN

No chance, sorry.

Nobody right now unless the deal is brilliant

Yep. He spent too much time trying to do trades (when the rest of us were only going to trade if we saw a gain or at best a break-even) and then was too cautious in the auction.

You do have 300k more than the rest of us to spend in the auction, best bet is to pick out 3 players who will do a job in the starting side and be ready to bid.

Why am I not surprised?

if you want Wade + AN Other you'll have to offer better than Chandimal (most likely Shah).

My favourite CF approach was, "Wheater + Mickelburgh for Prior + Yardy?" !

Na, you haven't really got anyone who I'd want for Rahane.

Are you still interested in Mitch Marsh mate? I'd do a straight swap for Wheater if so

Don't really want to lost Stirling as he's young, England qualified, and a key player in my squad (opens the batting and bowls a bit).

Only Shah interests me, but Trego, KOB and Cobb are pretty crucial to my plans.

Just out of interest who would you be looking for for Afridi?

A top quality batsman.

Not for Hussey sorry, he's essential to my batting order
