Scaly, do you fancy a 2nd CI match? Or at least as far as I can manage whilst staying half way competitive.

 

[superkingdave]

Resting Islam, Abdul Kadir, Challinor and Norris against Geg so it should be a close contest.

You might get outbidded anyway.

How much did you mean to bid.

He's not too disastrous for 300k, if you don't want him just train him up to strong and sell, you'll probably get at least 1m.

 

[Mister Wright]

I'm up for another friendly if someone else wants to give me a hiding. Just challenge me and I'll accept.

 

[Nate]

Been buying big and will be in debt, but I don`t care. If I secure this spin bowler, my team will be as good as I think I can get it. Will be training a few blokes who are 17/18, so I`m feeling pretty confident.

 

[Johnners]

Hoping to get this guy for under 120k (Current bid = 60k), he'd slot in at 6/7 for me, and also it'd mean i'd be down to just 2 competant bats. Judging by his wage would i be correct in saying he's probably only a low Respectable???

Lowish respectable.

 

[Dead Badger]

Yeah, looks low respectable to me; I went hunting for similar respectables recently and the wage range seemed to be 750ish to about 1150, although I'm sure someone can come along with a more precise answer. Judging by my luck picking up respectables (albeit bowlers, who seem slightly pricier) I think you'd be doing well to get away with under 200k, but then there's only an hour or so left; good luck.

Hmm. I started watching the last day of the test thinking it'd be worth staying up to see Warne and McGrath's last test wickets. I didn't think I'd end up going to bed before my bedtime. Oh but hey, here's Read. *snork*

Edit: Oh, okay, someone's going to come along with a more authoritative answer before me.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Respectable with negligible other skills is 650-1100 roughly. Generally tho there'll be other skills that add to that, even a mediocre secondary can add up to 30 each.

 

[Dead Badger]

Ah, cool. I did see a couple in the 600s, but I assumed those were out-of-date wages.

I am now facing the prospect that England may well not last long enough for my oven pizza to get even slightly bubbly. I'm going to be forced to eat my late-night snack in front of Will and Grace reruns. This, surely, is tragedy.

 

[Johnners]

Got him for 71k tbh

 

[AussieDominance]

One of CW's greatest guns has been spotted on the Transfer Market Langeveldt XI snuck under the radar in signing up for the greatest game of all.

If you see this Rich your bidding on some fairly terrible players that are missing some of the vital ingredients to becoming decent players.

Look for players similar or like this.

Wait for next season for trainees as if you buy now they will be 18 next week. And only generally buy 17 year olds unless something decent or special comes along.

Rob,

Don't see anything special or noteworthy enough for you to spend 250 k on this guy.

Is he going to be used as backup or something? I thought for your side you would be looking to buy uber players that will have an impact for year's to come definetly I would never have thought in my wildest dreams that you needed a Respectable bat?

In terms of my own team im playing Kipper tomorrow and am looking forward to testing myself against a half decent side similar to the team that won my league this year and hopefully knocking him off, I have only been losing by about 20 runs or a few over's to the team mentioned above who promoted from my league so hoepfully the boys put in a big performance tomorrow and use some good old Aussie courage inspired by the Shane Warne's, Glenn McGrath's and Justin Langer's of this world.

Also these are my two bowling trainees below :

Would anyone give me their opinions on what to train them to and how long im thinking to Quality at the moment both are on 1 net so would take to 21/22. But at the moment my other two bowlers are older Proficients.

Also listed Paris for 5 million if anyone interested.

TBH I did not see it before I posted .

 

[alternative]

Anyone up for a friendly, then please challenge me.

 

[Adamc]

Haha, what a ****ed up WC. SA apparently qualify ahead of us despite being equal on points and having an inferior NRR. Rightio. Even assuming they finished 4th, the fixtures are still wrong.

 

[Nate]

My BT is screwing up. It says I have a friendly organised, but it says I can challenge people, and other people keep challenging me.
