Lockdown tournament (SEASON 2 - Updates in first post)

This is going surprisingly well. Not even bothered about Billings as he wasn't my first choice (hey Mushfiqur) and I never fancied him anyway.

Also if you'd given me the option of taking on Glasgow's finest batsman I'd have signed him up but I didnae see him on the list.
 
Now Faulkner I know from that ridiculous ODI finish 7 years ago when he tore England a new one.

I’ve not heard of him doing anything since admittedly - but I’m assuming that’s because I don’t watch pyjama cricket and it’s just been 7 years of one astonishing performance after another.

Pleased to have got my man there.
 
Bowling All Rounders that received more than one bid.

A couple of players that I'm surprised weren't picked up in round one. They now have homes.

@mohsin7827 who picked up 13 players for Thunder in round one faced off against @NePtuNe Gaming for this South African.

After his big spending @blockerdave has had to scrape the bottom of the barrel with a W$T 72 bid. Would the prolific @beechcroft and the San Francisco Suckers make a 15th signing?

And lastly another three figure battle between @passwordistaco and @Bigby Wolf who has had a successful day so far. Considering a fellow left arm spinner went for W$T120 and this one has three triple centuries in the Ranji Trophy there must be a bargain on the cards.

How about some spinners next?

Yes I wanted Jadeja and was expecting high bids for him glad to have him in the squad.

Good to have Raina & Livingstone as well

So far yeah a very very good day indeed for me.

I'm wondering when we're going to see a bid from @Dutch but then I remember he spaffed all his cash on Cook and Leachy. Frankly, compared to Dutch, when it comes to spinners you are all cheapskates.

No one is cheaper than @GuyIncognito

I think this is the first catch of the day for @ameyp9

The Grubbers have two more successful bids from @Wavelberry

@Mouseydread is one away from a full squad now.

@gillyboy04 has picked up an unchallenged bid for

@Bigby Wolf continues to add players to his roster

Lastly, I think this guy has been in isolation for quite a while because he's looking very pale. @ahmedleo414 doing better in round 2.

ffs. Pipped on both players I wanted and end up with bloody Mitch Marsh. Good second rounding here.
Think yourself lucky: I got Marsha Mitchell. Nice lady but does natter endlessly about her one night stand with Keaton Jennings. He told her he had recently been seeded but apparently that was somewhat premature. I disappointing evening as I understand it.

Mmm I did put three bids in for players for this round: I hope they came through. Hopefully they are so obscure that nobody wanted them apart from me. Will check whether it has saved them.

Ah yes that's where I put all my money: as I had spent everything on Cooky I had to spend some time on Brighton pier offering "tour guides" of "local points of interest". How much is 17p in Waste dollars?

So that's why all those crowds in Brighton have been photoed during lockdown...

Yes and social distancing did make business quite difficult: having to explain to tourists how many centimetres four and half inches is gets tiring after a while.
 
There was one spinner who received two bids. Both in three figures.

Will Yuzvendra Chahal be living on his own for the Isolated XI and @Bigby Wolf or will @Chris Swift have a 'uuuge' bid for Trump's Fringe and make him pretty in pink?
