Lucky mate i went for Irfan i was about to bid for Yusuf then i went for Irfan.

No JP, I haven't got M Hussey, I have VVS, Yusuf Pathan, Tait and Broad... Yup I'm happy with my players but I need a few big ones which are in my mind!

Yes, I got confused between your two sides earlier, sorry. I have your bids, don't worry.

I'd also recommend that everyone submits five players, especially with a small nation like New Zealand as two or three players are proving very popular!

you get 1 player per auction Monty. Once we've got through the main auctions it's open season.

Drat,I was outbidded for both Gambhir and Tendulkar!

Time for me to close the purse strings a little me thinks, still a few key players I need/want to get

Originally posted by -JP- I missed that one as I was in a meeting. Yes, if anyone can explain it then they can win some extra pounds in my new cricket sim.

How bout it JP, I thought mine was the best, and I say that with absolutely no biased

ah! come on. you guyz are too long to bid, please keep 24 hrs deadline for bidding JP!

Yup, I understand that Tyke, I bid for NZL last night as per IST, spent the entire day in office and now even after 26 hrs we don't have all the bids! Thats certainly taking a lot of time...

Whereas Spin Wizard's in the West Indies so at the moment it's 12pm or 1pm, school hours/office hours. If there was cricket practice or anything last night then it'd cause problems for spin to make his bids.

I've done the same Mystery. I have updated and changed bids though due to situations of previous bids.

i have done my bids this morning and i see now spinwizard is on so we should get the players soon hopefully

OK, results of the auction are as follows

Surrey picked up Chris Martin for £3.2 million
Freuchie picked up Brendon McCullum for £9.5 million
Caribbean picked up Kyle Mills for £4 million
Melbourne picked up Tim Southee for £3.5 million
Kolkata picked up Dan Vettori for £6.5 million
Hyderabad picked up Jacob Oram for £8.5 million
Perth picked up Martin Guptill for £4.5 million
Canterbury picked up Jesse Ryder for £4 million
West Yorks. picked up Ross Taylor for £5.5 million
Blackpool picked up Jamie How for £4 million

Money left in £m:

Surrey: 77
Freuchie: 70.5
Caribbean: 67.6
Melbourne: 79.5
Kolkata: 70.9
Hyderabad: 72
Perth: 71.3
Canterbury: 67.5
W. Yorks: 77
Blackpool: 76

Bids for Pakistan players now welcomed.

I've already received bids from tyke, sam_ahmed, spin wizard, mystery, bladescape

I would advise everyone to bid for the maximum five players seeing as two or three players from each country are always very popular!

Spot on robbie.

No Monty - you have to wait for the set auctions to finish. And shouting about players you didn't get isn't that clever either as others might have forgotten about them until you told them!
