Lockdown tournament (SEASON 2 - Updates in first post)

[blockerdave]

I’ve literally no idea how good any of them are at T20 and I picked Ed Pollock simply because he was cheap and had the same surname as Graeme.

I believe he has the best t20 strike rate in history. Ed not Graeme.

Put it this way Dave they're all better than Alistair Cook

I bid 130 for Roy does that mean I got him?

 

[GuyIncognito]

I can't believe Warner went for 98! Son of a bit!! I knew I should have bid him lol.

Seriously though, I wasn't expecting pictures, just text. You outdone yourself again mate.

 

[Dutch]

mwahahaha what can I say, I like sheep!

 

[Dutch]

Oooh Cook......shit I thought I was bidding for someone to make the dinner...FFS....read Dutch, read!!!



Ha ha good laugh this in the midst of all the seriousness going on....good on you Waste!

I think there there must've been a lot of 'I'll never get him, so I won't try'

Well... we will find out soon.

That makes me quietly confident that I might after all just snaffle up Chris Martin

 

[Short Leg Cricket]

Here are the batters who received just one bid. So it's a chance for you to kick yourself when you see how much you spent on *cough* @Dutch *cough* or a chance to punch the air when you realise that you made a fairly low bid and somehow no one else made a bid at all *cough* @ahmedleo414 *cough*. There's quite a few big, big names and plenty of bargains (probably squad fillers).

Oh and you'll also get a glimpse of the kit your team will be playing in.

First up... @Short Leg Cricket didn't get any.

@DalePlaysCricket was first out in the draw and picked up one player unchallenged

Spoiler: Lockdown Losers

@blockerdave succesfully pulled off four bids

Spoiler: blockdown brotherhood

@ameyp9 was not far behind with three

Spoiler: p9 panthers

@beechcroft swooped to pick up a couple of England internationals

Spoiler: san franciso suckers

@gillyboy04 has two absolute steals, a combined W$T 14 spent over the base prices for these two

Spoiler: Gilly's Grubs

@sonimrajk has a either got a cheap bench warmer or cunningly picked up some quality young talent

Spoiler: Spartans

@NePtuNe Gaming it was his birthday just a couple of days ago and many happy returns for the greatest English batsman in history for signing up

Spoiler: Arise, Sir...

@passwordistaco is another one who has picked up some moderately priced batters that have gone under the radar

Spoiler: Ducks XI

@Mouseydread will be hoping these three will provide some fire in the batting order for

Spoiler: Fire In Babylon

@mohsin7827 has also picked up three for

Spoiler: Thunder

@GuyIncognito slightly above base price, but he's also a potential keeper for

Spoiler: Twelve Fine Legs

@Bigby Wolf has picked up a player that is going all around the world performing well in T20, can he do the same for the

Spoiler: Isolated XI

If you'd thought you'd seen the lowest bid so far, @Chris Swift managed to pick up this Canadian on the cheap

Spoiler: Trump's Fringe

And now we get to the fun part.

Firstly, despite some of the big names already gone, the big shock for me...

@ahmedleo414 was first to return his bids and I thought, there's no way he's going to win this one (just W$T 5 above his base price), but he did. He'll be hoping that this player stands tall for

Spoiler: Montrel Midgets

Lastly, the legendary @Dutch with not just the equal highest bid of the round but also the only bid for this legend who I expect will not be happy being dragged away from his farm. But W$T 41 above his base price might make him think otherwise. Clearly we can see who the Lucky and Lunatic are in this team

Spoiler: Lucky Lockdown Lunatics

Uh oh fingers and toes crossed that I’ve out bid the rest of you!

Exactly what I thought and missed Warner, I should have gone with the bir

OK, let's keep going... (I'm going to keep tagging everyone so please let me know if that annoys the hell out of you)

BATSMEN WHO RECEIVED TWO BIDS.

@gillyboy04 made a bid of 96 but it wasn't enough and @GuyIncognito swooped for this Indian opener. Meanwhile he also outbid @sonimrajk (W$T 94) for an Australia opener.

Spoiler: a devastating opener pair

@gillyboy04 also missed out on this World Cup Winner, he only bid 91 but it wasn't enough to beat the bid from @beechcroft

Spoiler: three England internationals at the Suckers

@Mouseydread has added to his West Indian contigent with some South African hitting power. Beating the bid from @passwordistaco by just W$T1.

Spoiler: donning the maroon and grey

And yes, @Chris Swift your bid was enough to beat @beechcroft who really has enough English batsman by now

Spoiler: same price as Alastair Cook

I'm actually surprised that I won the bid on Warner. Absolutely pumped!

Yeah but in this type of game you need an opener that can hold down one end, taking his time to get in, over after over, just leaving everything and waiting for the shine to come off the ball and.....oh wait.....
