Oh bollocks.

 

[harrisb]

I was expecting to get outbid on Tendulkar... And was prepared to pay quite a lot for his services as I was keen to retain him. This leaves me with a lot of cash, just under 2m to spend on 2 players.

Some absolute bargains going on here. Tendulkar, Sehwag and Al Hasan have all been bought at base price.

The auction's almost done already, only five more players are going to get bids on them.

Was about to overbid you but then I already bid on five.

Wow elated to have got Dan & Shakib, the latter being a massive bargain.

This is how we look

Sachin And Ajmal At Base Price

Ajmal going at his base isn't that surprising tbh,he didn't even play till last season.

 

[harrisb]

yeah, but i'm probably not alone in saying that he's the best spinner behind Swann in the world at the moment. Perhaps maybe the 3rd/4th most valuable spinner in the league due to domestic spinners being more popular plus Vettori always seems to perform unrealistically well in these leagues.

 

[BKB1991]

NZ bias

 

[harrisb]

Here's how Manchester are shaping up:

Michael Carberry
Alex Hales
Sachin Tendulkar
---------------
---------------
Dimi Mascarenhas ^
Tim Bresnan ^
-------------------
Saeed Ajmal ^
James Anderson ^
Scott Borthwick ^

With Malinga and AB de Villiers likely to be the last signings in the auction, i'm actually quite pleased. I've got an idea of who i might need to pick up in the draft to bolster the squad, especially in the middle order.
