So someone bid between $100,000 and $128,000 on Matthew Wade, and it has been brought to my attention that his minimum bid is $300,000. So unless that person wishes to tell me it was a typo and the 1 was meant to be a 3, then that bid will be scrapped.

We got somebody. :o

PowerBug · February 17, 2015, 10:09:25 PM

Am doing this now. I can confirm we have a new highest sale, on the name of Travis Head.

Nige · February 17, 2015, 10:14:36 PM

Somebody really wanted Head. :o

I can confirm it is nrich and BB67th (Queensland), for a whopping $925,000. Personally, I wouldn't pay that much for Head, unless I was a millionaire and it was Taylor Swift that asked me. Oh wait, wrong Head, carry on.

Players sold in Round 11:
Gabe Bell (NSW)
Travis Head, Peter George (QLD)
Trent Copeland, CLINT McKay, Ben Dwarshius (NT)
Nick Larkin, Nick Stevens (ACT)
Jackson Bird (TAS)
James Pattinson (WA)

I really can't help writing the name CLINT in capitals. The LI really looks like a U :P

Round 12 will end Wednesday 18th February, 9:30pm AEDST

Reminder only two more rounds to bid on any new players :)

Nige · February 17, 2015, 10:31:36 PM

We didn't get anybody again. :(

And BP is still getting blokes. :P

Spinking and I were making bids on Head along the way. Last offer was 850k we decided before we submitted that would be our last bid. A good get Nrich, he has cost you a lot and time will tell if he was worth the price tag!

BB67th · February 17, 2015, 10:36:48 PM

Head cost us a lot, but we feel he's going to be a great player for more than a decade to come. The batting looks very good with Burns and Head as the pillars, a few more players in these last few rounds and Queensland could still be a force to be reckoned with!

Finally, we're starting to win some players :)

PowerBug · February 17, 2015, 10:51:49 PM

I can't wait for the bidding to finish far out. I will have my evenings back :P I'm waiting for the round when about 20 players get sold because everyone has just decided to leave their bids where they are haha

No, just those that haven't got bids/new players/T20 players when that time comes.
