Oceania Premier League Season III | It's here!

[Dipak]

I am sorry you can't. I even didn't allow User to change, so if I allow you to change it would be unfair.

I am gonna watch Supernatural now (break has got over) and then need to do my homework and all, so don't expect any more updates today. I don't thin we would need one too!

 

[harrisb]

IMO so far, Harrisb has been the smartest in the auction, both local and international, cuz he's got great players at low prices. This auction is getting fun now!

Only because you love your Poms. Anderson and Morgan both had very average 2011's in ODI cricket; Anderson 35 (bowl av) and 5.6 (econ) and Morgan 32 (bat av).

Anderson's poor average is slightly down to his poor showing on the sub-continent. However he's shown that on English/Australian tracks he's still decent.

I can't believe how lucky I got, especially with Tendulkar... 800k maybe i slightly overspent on Morgan, considering i'm now trying to get Kallis. Might be able to sneak a bid on for another couple of players.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Leave Kallis, I'm going all out on him. I do have some cash for that..

 

[Aislabie]

^ Then you should be quick because the world class players are getting sold! User is too trying to the Author way! He's also saved his bucks for the big man Kallis!

Well what else was I meant to do - I had nigh on 2 million spare dollars, and one place left

My mind was made up when I lost Ronchi.

 

[Aislabie]

Also, I was wondering if anyone has seen the stats of two of my local players this year:

Davis - 921 FC runs @ 65
Rimmo - 34 FC wickets @ 19

 

[CG123]

Anderson's poor average is slightly down to his poor showing on the sub-continent. However he's shown that on English/Australian tracks he's still decent.

In Aus and NZ combined he averages 33 at an economy rate of 5.6. He's simply just not a good ODI bowler imo, unless the conditions are really in his favour.

 

[harrisb]

Well, I've seen him in GPL, so unless Dipak drastically changes his ratings, he's a decent signing

 

[CG123]

Most of the English players preformed extremely well there, so I'm trying to drop hints that makes him rethink how good they actually are.

In the last five GPL season, three times the leading run scorer was English, and three times the leading wicket taker was English. I rate them as a test team, but I just think as a ODI team they're overrated in general.

 

[Dipak]

Hmmm I do rate Swanny as the best spinner and Broad, KP, Morgan, Trott all have good ratings and I am frankly telling that. But I don't think I over rate them as many more SA/Aussies & Indians have better ratings. Moreover I give a size able weightage to a players Test match performances, Dravid too was among the runs. I was in fact hinting at his domestic auction wherein he bought Christian, nannes and all for their bases.

Brendan Taylor is missing from my my squad, he must be busy training with the Manicaland Bulls.

Some players are still 5-8 minutes shy of being sold, but still I have declared them to be sold. Of someone bids for them then I will bring the player back as unsold. Literally Kallis and Swann and sold to User & Iri resp. 'cuz no one can bid on 'em, but still.

[Iridium]

You forgot my bid on Duminy.

 

[Aislabie]

Narine at 200k is a steal.

 

[Fenil]

Narine at 200k is a steal.

I'm glad too to have guys like Rahim and Rampaul who have performed great of late at such a cheap rate which not only added quality to our squad but played a pivotal role in us getting the big man, Kallis.
