Indian Premier League -Round 5

[Sartaj]

1.Bilal,stop crying (:crying ) over my picks as you too could have done the same.

2.Why don't you ask someone who was a part of season-1 drafting whether this system is fair or not? As for the Indian players,there is a rule like one of the two picks must be below the age of 23.When we're done with the auction,all the squads will definitely look equally good as we have seen in the past.

You know that you will most likely be online when the IND action starts so you get 2 quality IND players.
For me and some others who wont be our 1st IND picks will be rubbish.
Please at least make it for the first IND round only player, or make it so people who picked later on in first INT round pick first in IND draft.

Was just trying to bring the facts to your notice...
I'm not the one who makes the decisions here.
BTW,i'm online for like..18 hours a day.

Btw are you having holidays or just plain free

 

[Sartaj]

Lol, my exams start in like a month so will only be able to go on like half an hour a day then... still should be enough to submit my teams for premier championship, wpl and this.

After my exams which finish end of NOV i will be on and off PC throughout the day over probably about a 14 hour period from like 9am-11pm nz time for like 8 weeks. (till beginning of FEB)
I will have cricket, golf, a few holidays etc. though which will keep my away form PC all the time.

Haha... this is what I mean when the IND draft comes along for who ever gets the first pick...

Shane Watson &
Mitchell Johnson

 

[Sartaj]

Was just kidding.
I'm online here for 8-10 hours a day rather than 18.

 

[BKB1991]

I wish D0n comes online ASAP. That way i get a chance for getting some decent players in Round 2

Look Guys,
I cannot help if someone picks first or last.
Last time,I kept an order because there were 8 owners.
It took quite a lot of time to finish.
So,definitely no order.
It is just a luck factor about the drafts.
And as far as the picks so far I can see they are quite evenly matched.
And,For Indian drafts let us not worry about them atm.
14 owners and in different time zones and order?
Cannot imagine.
Just think,if 13 owners are online and waiting to make their picks;but the one owner which is offline has his name first in the order.
How much frustrating it will be?
I have made maximum 2 players from a nation just to ensure that it remains fair for everyone.
Also,In Season-1 I remember Kolkata Kings[who were 3rd last] beating the Jaguars[Winners] both the times they faced each other.
That tells us that it was evenly matched and so will this be.
If I set a time,it will still be unfair[as you all call] for some owners.
Also, just a question,
If you would have been online when the drafts started,would it still have been unfair?

 

[Sartaj]

No!
Not again!
Not Mitchell Johnson!:doh

Do not worry about the Indian drafts atm.
Make your Int' picks well.
