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

[VC the slogger]

What the hell is a specialist number 11? Is it another term for a bunny?

This.

By the time of the ICC Trophy in 1997, Onyango had been assigned a new role: specialist tail-ender. He played in four matches and did not bowl in any of them, batting down the order except for one match in which he was promoted to No. 2. Not quite mastering the art of pinch-hitting, he compiled a boundary-less 25-ball 13. He was surprisingly recalled to face Australia in September 2002, this time as a specialist No. 11 - and again he didn't bowl.

^^That will appeal to some buyers definitely.

So basically, He's the vintage version of Sir Jadeja?

Can't bat, can't bowl, but still in the team.

The strange thing is, he can bowl now. Probably a better bowler at the age of 40 than he was during his entire career.

Our only auction target in Pool A shall be Pravin Tambe. No one else.

Or maybe N McCullum...

Lameck Onyango Bid

Team Landscape - Out
Team Hugging Muffins - Out
Team Demons - Out
Team Amigos - Out
Team Nine Dragons - Yet to announce
Team Slipperpool - Out

​

The Nine Dragons are likely to skip him too, but I'd rather they announce it themselves. Poor Lameck.

 

[themusketeer]

Btw, Landscape won't be bidding on any of the left pool A players.

 

[MattW]

So who were the teams that put in for all the pool A players if no one is bidding on them?

Anyway, assuming Nine Dragons do nothing with Onyango...

The Hugging Muffins will bid $10,000 for Mohammad Tauqir.

Slipperpool and Landscape did declare interest in Onyango via PM, but pulled out over here.

 

[swacker]

Yes we did but only if we don't get either of two players we got.

Seems like Matt is supporting gay marriage.

Yeah, we'll pass for now although he's always improving

Seems like Matt is supporting gay marriage.

Good.

The Hugging Muffins will bid $10,000 for Mohammad Tauqir.

Man had a good game today.

 

[VC the slogger]

There were no bids for Lameck Onyango. His name is likely to reappear in the repechage towards the end of the star player auction.

Now, it's on to UAE's skipper Mohammad Tauqir whom The Hugging Muffins have already shown interest in by pre-bidding his base price of $10,000.​

Star Player #5 - Mohammad Tauqir ($10,000)

​

Full name: Mohammad Tauqir Khan
DOB: January 14, 1972 (Age 43)
Country: United Arab Emirates
Role: Spin bowler
Batting style: Right-hand bat
Bowling style: Right-arm offbreak
Playing status: Captain of the UAE national side and playing all forms as of 2015.

Short bio

"Tauqir was a controversial selection as Emirati skipper for the World Cup, but he acquitted himself well as his team gained something of a cult following. Despite appearing innocuous, he has a decade of ODI experience to draw upon." - The Author​
