A third bidder has entered the fray for Carberry, a second bidder is in for Adnan, and a bid withdrawn for Darren Stevens. I'll be updating before I go to work, so if there are any last-minute bids, get them in right now!

Right, all done. Most of the teams now have a full complEment of players, apart from:

Bubba-fretts has no wicketkeeper.
Megachedda still needs a reserve batsman, and will also need to replace one of the Durham lads - you've got four at the moment.

Please check your teams. If you don't have a player with the word 'captain' beside his name, I haven't received your starting line-up yet, and you need to select your first XI, name your wicketkeeper if you have more than one and nominate your captain. I'm at work on the early shift on Wednesday morning, so please let me have these asap as I won't be able to make any changes last minute. If you haven't done this in time, you won't score any bonus points for your captain or wicketkeeper for any matches in progress.

You can carry on bidding for players if you have money left, and can also sign players by approaching other team captains directly if you wish.

Can I have Azhar Mahmood as captain?

Yes, you can - I take it you're happy with your first XI as it is, then?

Yes.

make mine an Andrew Strauss for a laugh, please.

Ill lose Onions and have Benkenstein as captain.

Shane Warne for Captain please - as indeed he should have been for the Aussies!!
SBE

Okay then, here goes:

Ian Harvey as captain; swap out Fleming and Rankin for Maddy and Kirtley.

My 1st XI suits for now, thank you

And Alex Wharf's my skipper

Fb

My captain has been named in an email.

But, in case you don't get it, Mark Ealham.

B

All those changes made; Graham Onions is available again. Best check your squad though, just in case - you know what I'm like.

Megachedda and Bubba-fretts, you'd best get some bids to me very quickly. As it stands, Bubba-fretts is getting no bonus points for either captain or wicketkeeper, and Megachedda is scoring no points whatsoever until he's got a full team.

Bid in for Graham Onions, as expected

Still waiting for Bubba and Megachedda to complete their squads.

I'm also waiting to hear from Bubba, JulesK and Demon Drawer about their captains. As I say, I'm on the early shift tomorrow, so I'll need to know these by about midnight tonight.

Dont moan at me.Moan at my teachers.

Is it 2 batters i need?

Make David Hussey my Captain

phew! made it! Just moved out of my house Anyway, down to the important stuff, eh?

Please swap Carter for Hoggard, making my two reserves Carter and Hodge.

Collingwood is my captain.

Quick query: DO World Cup matches played on or after the start of the championship season (tomorrow) count towards the competition? If they don't, can I bring Bruce in for Murali, if WC games DO count, Murali will do nicely.
