Season 1: T20 Auction

[Nige]

PLEASE PLEASE read the opening post. Very important that you all understand exactly how this is running.

Question re: keepers. Does the keeper we select have to explicitly play as the keeper? For example, Brendon McCullum may play as a specialist batsman despite being a renowned wicketkeeper. Would he be eligible to play as a keeper for us?

Should be, Carters doesn't keep yet he still is classed as a keeper for us

Same with Handscomb for us.

Yeah it's how I've named them. Funnily Hamdscomb is a keeper according to the Officlal Fantasy game as well. I didn't think he would be.

That makes two of us. I expect Triffitt (or even Sam Harper if they want to blood him) will keep, even though I want Handscomb to do it.

Where can we access where you've named them? I have Jake Doran listed in my team thread as a keeper, but I know he hasn't been this season as they have been using Tim Paine. I should be okay either way seeing as I have Brad Haddin but it would be good to get confirmation.

You pose a good question.

The first class google sheets has a sheet called "D6ers". All players and position types are listed there. The main thread also has a picture in one of the posts as well with them all. I should look at putting it in a more accessible place though.

By Midnight Wednesday 2nd December I mean we open in like 10 minutes time, incase people were unsure.

Also Kieron Pollard has withdrawn through injury so have removed him. The Strikers haven't named a replacement yet, if they do then he will go straight into the list and be available to everyone.

Actually that's kinda important for every new signing. If one is made you may bid on them as soon as you see it. Just if it's a name not already listed then just post a link to an article saying they have been picked up. :)
