12th man : Chandimal

willing to listen to offers for Botha, but needs to include a good player

Alviro Peterson + David Masters for Ravi Bopara + Vinay Kumar?

No way mate

i have cash to spend, but am very happy with the squad that im building now.

Both those two make up my English quota I'm afraid, sorry.

Pyrah + Jaques for Shah?

Alright thought that was a cheeky offer tbh...how about Pyrah for Chandimal?

Yeah, you've caught me out there How about Pyrah for Afridi?

I thought it was a good offer...

Good for you at least

Tymal Mills or Reece Topley for Joe Gatting, Luke Wells or Will Beer. Any interest?

No mate, I'd only swap him for another spinner who can bat as well, and in 20/20 I rate him higher than the ones you have

Jacques + ? for Shah?

Need to keep hold of my u25's, so no deal there...

Would have to be Jacques + Hall/Pyrah for Shah.

No deal - I'm obviously not going to let Kohli go after the effort it took to get him and I don't rate Petersen/Cameron White particularly highly anyway. In any case neither of them are U25.

No chance for any of my players sorry

No thanks. Alviro isn't that good, and Lumb offers pretty decent coverage for my batsman whilst being English aswell.

no ty cf trying to get more u25's not lose them

No thanks CF no interest in Bollinger especially as he's over 25, also no deal to your offer regarding Compton/Meschede

depends what you're offering, I like having him in my squad as he adds a possible different dimension to my side.

No, you'll have to do without Matty P I'm afraid. I'm pretty happy with my squad and probably won't do any deals (unless I get a sensational offer) until the supplementary auctions.

Taylor going nowhere

Don't want to lose an U25, sorry mate.

You wouldn't part with the players that interest me.

Very underrated T20 player, in my opinion. Your fringe players don't even lace up his boots.

+1

Nothing for Rob Key sorry!

David Masters + Adam Wheater (u-25) for Ravi Bopara?

Good try but not even close

I'm not interested in selling any of my squad tbh

Unless of course it is a substantial offer

Bollinger isn't under 25, peterson is average at best. No deal

No deal there both pants

Denly and Jacques/Pyrah/Hall for Shah

Don't rate Masters at T20. Couldn't do it anyway as I only have 9 u25's. would have to be Root + Denly for Chandimal + Shah

Don't need alviro, can't afford to lose more than 1 u25 player.

No interest in Wesley I'm afraid.

No I'm not giving you Ravi back

As much as I like Hogg I'm not willing to part with Warne as he's my go to bowler.

I could actually do you a deal for one of Tymal Mills or Reece Topley

Sorry mate, DStevens is one of my favourite players

Deal!

Neil Carter + Steffan Piolet for Doug Bollinger + David Masters + Tom Craddock (u-18)

No ty

Hi CF, sorry I've only just noticed your Niall O'Brien comment.

Short answer is it depends on who's offered in trade, but I'm wary of letting him go and having to rely on Simpson as reserve keeper.

Two fairly similar quality players IMO. Deal.

James Foster has left?! :O

im happy to let him go gregers..

O'brien is a better t20 batsman, and i have plenty of people who can take the gloves.

But who will captain?

not sure yet.

If Davies plays for me he'll be down the order in the slog overs, so his better strike rate is valuable for me. Win-win trade by the sound of it

Nothing for Lee mate, sorry.

Only Afridi interests me, Taylor is pretty essential to my squad
