Hello, I'm Stefan Schemmelt and welcome to the Test Match Special podcast at the historic 100 auction in Piccadilly Circus in London.
To come, we'll hear from Sunrisers Leeds men's coach Daniel Vittori, World Cup winner Anya Shrubsole, who's assistant coach at Southern Brave, and legendary Australia player Meg Lanning, who's captaining the Manchester Super Giants.
Plus, we'll have analysis from two former 100 players and now part of our team, Stephen Finn and Alex Hartley.
So the first auction for a major sport in the UK has come to an end.
Among the highlights over the past two days, 21-year-old James Cole, signed by London Spirit for £390,000.
All-rounder Danielle Gibson, pace bowler Izzy Wong.
An 18-year-old spinner Tilly Corteen Coleman receiving deals in excess of £100,000.
in the women's auction, and despite concerns that IPL-owned teams would not bid for Pakistan players, there was a successful bid from Sunrise's leads for spinner Abrar Ahmed.
So I joined two former 100 players, Steve and Finn, and leading the discussion was Alex Hartley.
But yesterday, with the women's auction at first, which felt like a real moment in time, actually, both for British sport and for women's sport, with some of the sums of money that was being spent on young players.
And then today were some of the big deals that went down.
First, it was some of the big names knocking around, like Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow and Adil Rashid.
And then with all that money spent on James Cole's £390,000, it's been genuinely good fun.
And now what we've got to see if all of these players can turn up to play cricket in July, still fit and in form.
I think what's interesting is one of the things we were told about the investment that came into the 100.
or why it was needed was in order to bring some bigger names into the competition, certainly on the men's side, that maybe the 100 didn't always compete with some other leagues with the salaries that are on offer.
I'm not sure if that's come through just yet in that certainly looking down the players that have been sold from a men's point of view, I do think that a lot of those players were available anyway and were playing in the 100 over the past couple of years and maybe that some of the players that have been playing have just got richer.
It might take a little while.
