And we're back.

Before we get started we have some reaction from Alastair Cook.

Now, wicket keepers who received one bid.

@Dutch got the cheapest keeper here, going Dutch. But he also picked up a second keeper unchallenged

Spoiler: Lucky Lockdown Lunatics

He's not the only one picking up two keepers though. @ameyp9 has done the same with two Indian keepers, and one that surpisingly only had one bid

Spoiler: fighting for a place in the side

@blockerdave claims he has no idea what he's doing while he continues to hoover up T20 specialists

Spoiler: another one

Playing catch up, @Short Leg Cricket has found a friend for Shimron Hetmyer with this

Spoiler: Australia international

@NePtuNe Gaming who also had a quiet batsman round has picked up a

Spoiler: solid wicket keeper batsman here

@Chris Swift has got the man who did a Ben Stokes

Spoiler: before Ben Stokes

And, fair to say this is the Virat Kohli of the wicket keeper round. Unchallenged, @GuyIncognito adds to his

Spoiler: already impressive batting line up

so this was just a name I figured I’d heard of before. And not being able to place him in any specific sex scandal, i assumed it was from some T20 that was on TV before I managed to switch over

Twelve Fine Legs looking strong all ready ! Glad that Carey has joined the ranks thank the Lord really.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Now for the wicket keepers who received two or three bids (no keeper had more)

A bid of just W$T 5 more than @passwordistaco allowed @beechcroft to add to his

Spoiler: strong batting line up

@ahmedleo414 (87) could pull off another swoop, but you could argue that @Bigby Wolf did for

Spoiler: just 90 wa$te bucks

@Mouseydread couldn't add another Caribbean superstar to his line up because @DalePlaysCricket came in with a bid of 10 more

Spoiler: another bargain?

@sonimrajk is another who struggled to pick up many batsman but he might he will surely be happy with beating @NePtuNe Gaming to sign

Spoiler: this player

@Short Leg Cricket will be glad he snapped up one wicket keeper, because he tiny W$T 94 bid was blown out the water by @mohsin7827 for

Spoiler: the most expensive batsman or wicket keeper

@gillyboy04 AND @blockerdave (sniffing around the T20 specialist again) both missed out on this player, but it was @mohsin7827 who bagged

Spoiler: a second keeper

[ahmedleo414]

Well... At least I still have kholi....

 

[beechcroft]

De Kock went for just 90? That's a real bargain.

Congrats to Gilly's Grubs for picking up David Warner, a match-winning batsman, but one who's so unloved even his mum refused to bid for him.

And I have Alex Hales, possibly the most hated man in the England dressing room, before he was thrown out.

 

[Neptune]

i probably have the most underwhelming team till now

 

[blockerdave]

So I DID know Tom Banton, and I am very sorry to have missed out on him.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

@wasteyouryouth Great work on the presentation mate.


My Top Order is Sorted De Kock & Rahul too very good top order players alongside phil Salt.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Without further ado let's move straight onto Batting All Rounders who received one bid. Looking at some of signings this seems to be bargain basement; the section where everyone has come to spend whatever is left after they've bid for 15 other players. But, as with the other sections there is one big player who has slipped under the radar.

@ameyp9 keeps adding players to his squad. Six players from the batsman and keepers and now

Spoiler: this seventh player

@beechcroft has added to his big hitters with another

Spoiler: big hitting all rounder

@blockerdave remembers this guy from that game about

Spoiler: 10 years ago

@Chris Swift has swooped for one of a handful of associate players who as getting signed up and someone who probably

Spoiler: doesn't look like this IRL

@Dutch recovering from his big splash on Cooky, has probably needed to go low here.

Spoiler: The second Canadian so far.

@GuyIncognito has got the spinner who doesn't bowl much but is still

Spoiler: too good for the England batsmen

@mohsin7827 I saw an article about this guy on Cricinfo the other day.

Spoiler: The next big thing or a cheap one for the bench?

@NePtuNe Gaming might be feeling bad but this probably won't make him feel much better about how his side is looking.

Spoiler: Or will it?

@Short Leg Cricket slowly adding more big hitter to his side.

Spoiler: I think that's three left-handers now

@sonimrajk might be sharing some of the apprenhension of Neptune Gaming.

Spoiler: The second Irishman

It's @Mouseydread pulling the off possibly the best signing/bargain of this round though.

Spoiler: The perfect fit for Fire In Babylon?

 

[Neptune]

i feel sean williams is criminally underrated in the longer formats, so picked him. After making bids i realised it was for a t20 team.

Ate least you didn't bid 130 on him.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Batting all rounders who received two bids. And I'd say there's a couple of good buys here.

@DalePlaysCricket went low with a base price 70 bid but @beechcroft got the winning bid here

Spoiler: the Suckers are looking anything but

For only W$T 2 more @sonimrajk was able to beat @ahmedleo414

Spoiler: Spartans batting line up is slowly coming together

He picked up The Universe Boss and for the same price (@passwordistaco bid 91) he's got himself

Spoiler: a player whose form could only be stopped by a pandemic

 

[beechcroft]

Lol! I'd never heard of Cameron Delport, and I can't remember why I picked him.

He's a T20 specialist. @blockerdave will be able to tell you all about him.
