Star Player Auction | Pool C - Warne unsold! End of auction

[Markkkkk]

So the Amigos have just over half their budget to buy 11 players.. Interseting[DOUBLEPOST=1435864216][/DOUBLEPOST]

I think that each team should've been told that You have to buy a player from each pool, so a team doesn't have two players like Lara & Warne, which will certainly make them strong for no reason, and teams wouldn't be able show complete disinterest in Pool A or Pool B players.

But if you buy Warne and Lara then you blow a lot of your money...

The Amigos signed off by buying legendary wicket-keeper batsman Adam Gilchrist for $45,000. So ends their star player auction after having also acquired Mohammad Tauqir ($18,000) and Murray Goodwin ($40,000). The money they will be carrying into the PC player auctions will be $147,000.

Following Gilchrist is the man with whom he formed one of the most devastating opening partnerships in ODI cricket - Matthew Hayden.

Full name: Matthew Lawrence Hayden

Country: Australia
Role: Opening batsman
Batting style: Left-hand bat
Bowling style: Does not bowl
Playing status: Came out of retirement for the first season of the BBL, but that was the last seen of him on a cricket field.

Short bio

"With 30 Test centuries and a best of 380, the intimidating left-hander will be looking to punish bowling attacks. After retiring from Test cricket, he spent three years as a successful Twenty20 specialist, demonstrating his versatility and power for the highest bidder." - The Author​

You will still have to buy them at whatever their base price is!

 

[MattW]

19k per player would be about right.

The Demons made the only bid for Matthew Hayden, but their bid was large enough to keep other teams out. He was bought for $40,000.

Now, it's time for the bidding to start on arguably the biggest name of them all - Brian Charles Lara.

Star Player #15 - Brian Lara ($25,000)

​

Full name: Brian Charles Lara
DOB: May 2, 1969 (Age 46)
Country: West Indies
Role: Specialist top-order batsman
Batting style: Left-hand bat
Bowling style: Does not bowl
Playing status: Went into a playing hiatus after retiring in 2007, and then after unexpectedly turning out for the Southern Rocks in 2010/11. Returned to play exhibition matches in 2014.

Short bio

"Many consider him to be one of the best who ever lived; certainly, he has the highest Test and first-class scores to his name. He's only played three competitive games since 2008, all in Zimbabwe, but has looked in good touch in recent exhibition matches." - The Author​
