Australian Premier League XIII

Just sent out the prize money. Now I'm just waiting on Aditya & the new Brisbane owner (hopefully blake) to de-list their players. Callum, can I get your new suffix please? Also are there any other owners planning on changing their suffix? I recommend you do Varun.. lol

 

[blake]

I've returned and as manager of the Brisbane Braves... (presuming that's what they are still called).

How many players do I need to delist? I'll check through the thread.

Edit: Also, has the Trans Tasman idea being scrapped? Do my NZ players count as internationals? Is there a pre-season draft coming up?

I am enforcing the rule that you must de-list 3 Australians, and 2 overseas players. Your squad is actually the Sydney CC one. CG123 is moving to Sydney and taking his squad.

NZ players are counted as Internationals.
There is a draft, and the teams with less players get earlier picks.

Ah. Thank god, the Brisbane Bears squad was looking pretty atrocious. Martin Guptill???

I'll delist a few soon. May I delist more, or specifically 5 in total?

No you may de-list as many as you want (remember your squad is the Sydney CC one, I'll update the first post now).

 

[blake]

Alright, is there a social group going around? Or should I just PM you my updated squad with delisted players.

 

[Biggy]

I've got everyone's de-listings! Welcome User2010 (replacing Aditya) and blake (replacing mattfb). Drafting will start tomorrow night.

g'night.

NEWS​

As of last night all Managers have submitted their squads for the upcoming season. No team was more brutal in their elimination progress than the former Brisbane team (now Sydney) who axed a total of 12 players. Everyone was taken by surprise though when Melbourne dumped their leading wicket taker for the season, Kemar Roach. "I felt I played very well and was almost certain I would get my contract renewed.

[CG123]

@ Biggy - I'll get you my new suffix sometime tonight.

@ Blake - Guptill is one of the leading one-day batsmen, in 2009 he was named in the ICC world one-day team. A very underrated player.

By the looks of things I'll be getting like the first five draft picks.
There are a couple of obvious INT player's I'll be taking, but no one released any good Aussie's.

CG123 added 3 Minutes and 43 Seconds later...

Shakib Al Hasan and Kemar Roach

Will post my two Aussie's in a few minutes.

 

[CG123]

Graham Manou and Damien Wright

 

[CG123]

Just had a rumble through the APL/TTPL archives...

 

[Sartaj]

Well,it was a tough call Kemar and it all boiled down to a choice between you and Jesse Ryder

bcvstheworld added 1 Minutes and 21 Seconds later...

This will affect our team balance but lets see what we can do in the player transfer window to follow the draft.

 

[CG123]

No one really released any decent Aussies, I may have to in the end pick up some of the ones from my last season squad that I ditched.
