Get padded up here.

Frenchbean, B and Megachedda are all considered in, but please let me know your team names

I'm rubbish at this, I'll give it go. Will e-mail selections later.

Brilliant! And I have word that AndyG is back too, so that's the top and bottom of the table sorted out...

Organcheese Academicals are in the post!

I'll have a go. I can't be any worse at this than the domestic one!!!

I thought Andy G was rather good at this thing??

Have just emailed in my bids. As Reigning 20 20 Champ I couldn't avoid trying it!!

Ill call my team "BopToff" after Englands injured Bopara & Flintoff.

I'd like my team to be called 'Death's Nel' after my least favourite cricketer.

Bids in so far from (in order of receipt):

AndyG
Alfredo

Summerbayexile
My cousin

Megachedda, if you've sent your bids, I haven't received them. I think we had this problem last time - the email address is fantasy[dot]krikkit[at]googlemail[dot]com

Of those declared, I'm just waiting for Magwitch and Frenchbean. Would there be any objection to me putting in a team of dregs this time, as transfers aren't going to be an issue? It would make us into a nice round ten teams...

Argh!!!!!!I knew i should have saved my selection somehere.

Drat i spelt krikkit correctly.

Hopefully mine should be with you later, rich. I'm taking some advise (I hope ) I won't help though.

Got Megachedda's. If they are all in tonight, I'll try to update the teams before I go away tomorrow to move the bidding along quickly

I will object to the dregs team if it beats mine.

B

Team sent again.

I have no intention of making it a decent team, B - I've got a couple of ideas for a themed side, but it depends who gets snapped up

Not sure if you can wait but there may be a certain Egon interested in having a go at this, but he's not back until Friday, so couldn't send in bids before then

I'm happy to select his team, if you like.

B

I'd be delighted if Egon wants to join in, but I need to get things moving along. If I can't get the first round of bids done tonight, it's no problem anyway as I'm not back until Friday night. If all the bids are in and I have time to get it all sorted out tonight, though, he'll have to join in the second round, I'm afraid. I need to have time to check that the new system works before the competition proper starts, you see, so I'd like to get teams finished by Monday if possible. If he does miss the first round, though, there's still a tournament-winning team to be built with the players left
