Lockdown tournament (SEASON 2 - Updates in first post)

[Deleted member 193590]

The owner is very happy with the 2 latest fringe signings.

Pace bowlers with three bids. No one had more. But there was some big bids amongst these. Two World Cup Winners and two players who haven't won the World Cup.

First up one of those winners. Despite attracting three bids the highest was still only W$T above his base price. It's @blockerdave and @Dutch missing out, they both bid 82. He's lost his central contract but

Spoiler: he's now got W$T in his bank account.

Next up one the bowlers who haven't won the World Cup. Firstly, someone might feel unlucky not to have been in that squad considering all that Tom Curran contributed. @GuyIncognito (85) and @ameyp9 (89) fell just short. For @beechcroft

Spoiler: by my reckoning this makes 14/16 successful bids

If you thought Jack Leach was going to end up as the most expensive bowler you will be disappointed. @Short Leg Cricket (88) @Bigby Wolf (92) were blown out of the water by @mohsin7827 winning another threesome

Spoiler: A huge winning bid

Now we get to the last player of the first round. If it wasn't Ben Stokes he'd probably have been the start of the English summer. @Chris Swift was trying to splash the money that the owner of Trump's Fringe has managed to syphon from the government but was only prepared to bid W$T92. There were two teams prepared to bid three figures though. @DalePlaysCricket and @blockerdave.

Spoiler: He won the bid for Stokes can he win another one?

 

[Dutch]

Blocker wins. Thread over. Thanks for making this happen Waste. It was fun.

*saunters off to give Cooky his shears back and polish Jack’s head*

I shall be sending out updated/new sheets with your squads so you can inspect them and see what gaps you need to fill. I think that will now be tomorrow morning. You should be able to access the olds ones if you want to get a headstart at browsing. Of course @Wavelberry will be joining with a full bank account so you'll need to be wary of him, as well as @ahmedleo414 and his four-figure war chest. I'm sure that was his plan all along. @beechcroft however will be sleeping easy. 14 players and still W$T 213 left. Keaton Jennings and Gary Ballance have sub-80 base prices so he could give them both big paydays.

[blockerdave]

Went very cheap on others so I could go big on Stokes and Archer... delighted to get both!!

shame about Plunkers though.

 

[ahmedleo414]

as well as @ahmedleo414 and his four-figure war chest. I'm sure that was his plan all along.

Right.... Plan.... That was exactly my plan....

 

[Short Leg Cricket]

Thanks mate for working very hard in getting this all set up and looking amazing. Really enjoyed it a lot of fun! Might have to spend a bit more time planning to secure some right handers - awesome stuff mate looking forward to R2.

[Wavelberry]

[beechcroft]

I'm happy to have finished up with Woakes and Jordan.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

We're live at the Lucky Lockdown Lunatics HQ. Where Mark Wood and Stuart Broad can only imagine how it feels to be part of the tournament.

 

[Dutch]
