Just to clarify, the timing is a problem for me because the time all you guys are here for bidding, I'm at work or it's past midnight... Anyways I'm keeping an eye on it so don't worry

Btw Swanns T20 bowling record is not bad !! He has an excellent SR and Avg !! On top of that he can bat better than many other spinners.. Though his T20 batting recod is not good at all but he is coming at the lower order anyway!!

timing is a huge problem for me. For me bidding finishes at 4am in the morning in Australia so the latest i can bid is at around 12 to 1am. Everyone bids when its 2am to 4am so i wont be able to buy any players if that happens.

Some solutions for Teams who are having timing problems:

If time is a problem then one can bid high for a player, not like increase by 10,000 only. Let's say someone bids 50,000 for a player and you want him in your team. You can bid much much higher than $60,000. Let's say you bid $400,000. Then that first bidder won't easily overtop and has to think twice before bidding again for that player. Even if he bids $410,000 then you cost him some money. For 11 players, it's $15,000,000. So the budget should be just above $1,000,000 per player. Let's say the case was with Graeme Swann. BengaliPagol bid like $150,000. If BengaliPagol did bid $500,000 for Swann then definitely oronnya would think twice before making it $510,000. Low bids are making it easier for a team to sneak in at the last minute and taking the player. Bids should be higher than the ones are going on if timing is a problem.

My suggestion would be to make the bid higher so that another team can't sneak in at the last minute and think twice before over bidding that bid.

Otherwise we have to get back to old timing of 6PM to 6PM (BD time) if everyone agrees or something around that time.

Another Solution:

If a player is up for auction, bidding starts. The one who wants to bid bids, one who don't can say "pass" For example:

Dale Steyn

BD_Rox bids $X
TigerEZ bids $Y
BD_Rox again bids $$$$
TigerEZ again bids $$$ and then BD_Rox don't want to bid again and will have to say "PASS"
BengaliPagol bids $$$$ and then TigerEZ again overbids BengaliPagol and this time BengaliPagol doesn't want to bid more and will have to say "PASS"
After we get 5 "PASS" for a player, only then other players will be up for auction. So there will be no time limit but only 5 "PASS"

If this looks convenient, we can do it in this way.
