Lockdown tournament (SEASON 2 - Updates in first post)

[GuyIncognito]

Ha! That explains everything. He's a North Korean spy. They never could bat.

Care to explain this then:

The evidence is indisputable.

I stand corrected. Is it too late to sign him up for my team?

I've had some Coco Pops. I've listened to James Brown's Living in America to pump me up. I'll tell you all about some wicket-keepers soon.

Wicket-keepers that received one bid

Straight out the traps, biggest WK buy of the round. @NePtuNe Gaming

Spoiler: Neptune Gaming

Adding two more, including the cheapest keeper of the round @Mouseydread

Spoiler: Fire In Babylon

In great need of players @ahmedleo414 has also picked up two keepers

Spoiler: Montreal Midgets

@gillyboy04 has picked up a bargain for an uncapped keeper

Spoiler: Gilly's Grubs

@Short Leg Cricket has picked up a keeper too.

Spoiler: Short Leg XI

And I'm happy to reveal the first signing of the latest team to join the Social Distancing Shield. Unveiling their new kit, having forgotten to ask @Wavelberry about colours our team has slapped them in something maybe has a connection to the team name.

Spoiler: The Glasgow Grubbers

Wicket-keepers who received more than one bid

Some of you will now who the one player to receive more than one bid will be because they haven't showed up yet. I can tell you that you are exactly right.

@Wavelberry started things off with a W$T 78 bid, @passwordistaco tried to pip him as did @DalePlaysCricket

Spoiler: There was W$T 7 in it

Batting All Rounders next

Meanwhile, the intermission music for the round.

 

[Dutch]

Ha ha good to see you taking it easy after your last burnout!!!

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Batting All Rounders that received one bid.

@passwordistaco and his Ducks team needed something special. They landed the (delete as applicable) best/worst Marsh and the best/worst Mitchell.

Spoiler: Ducks XI

@ahmedleo414 Rising from the flames of disappointment in round 1, Montreal Midgets now have seven players.

Spoiler: Cheapest signing of the round

@Bigby Wolf has also taken big steps forward to having enough players to at least field a starting eleven.

Spoiler: Two more batting all rounders

The new boys have also picked up two more @Wavelberry showing some of the slouches from round 1 how to get players to join.

Spoiler: The promise of money and women

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Batting all rounders that received more than one bid.

@gillyboy04 and @blockerdave went head to head for Corey Anderson. There could only be opne winner and

Spoiler: there was only W$T 3 in it

The second player was Shane Watson who was subject of bids from @ahmedleo414 and @sonimrajk and after not being picked up in round one, the veteran walking LBW victim is the first to receive a three-figure payday in this round. Hopefully he can use that money to go to wherever Harbhajan got his facelift.

Spoiler: W$T13 the difference here

[ahmedleo414]

[blockerdave]

Not sure how I feel about missing out on Corey Anderson. On the one hand, it’s a player I’ve heard of. On the other, I have no idea whether he’s good or not and i didn’t bother looking it up.

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Bowling All Rounders who received just one bid.

Cheapest purchase of this round; the very stable genius @Chris Swift has added a former international captain.

Spoiler: Big arms

Talking about big. @Bigby Wolf has signed a very big boy. Be careful @Dutch doesn't try to gang seed him.

Spoiler: All the 7s

@sonimrajk has pulled off a double swoop for two bowling all rounders without anyone realising.

Spoiler: Spartans squad slowly sizing up

@DalePlaysCricket after an epic tussle for Billings, the signing of this guy was easier.

Spoiler: The guy from Homeland

@Short Leg Cricket has is up to ten players.

Spoiler: With the other Pandya.

The Glasgow Grubbers are doing Scotland proud. Two Bangladesh players and two failed England all rounders.

Spoiler: Mel Gibson is turning in his grave

The Blocktown Brotherhood might not know who Corey Anderson is but he will now have to worry if he knows who this guy is.

Spoiler: Another T20 expert?

@ahmedleo414 has added another one

Spoiler: Midgets catching up with the pack
