Ok, listed Horne for 3m, he's got fairly decent sublevels for bowling and consistency but I still want to give myself a chance of upgrading to someone a bit nice.

Still waiting for a bid on Terry, he's still at a good price.

Cheers mate.

I would as well, and I suppose Cloete and Sriram would. That would make four (plus your vote?).

That might be enough to win in India.

I'm getting a little fed up waiting for a trainee too but I don't have to nets free at the moment so maybe it's best I have to wait a little and prices may drop to respectability. That guy should pop to prof within couple of weeks of two nets though shouldn't he?

I paid 350k for a respectable/comp bowler with respectable stamina midway couple of seasons ago. Can't see that happening now!

Oh and Pugh is only 7m with 2 hours to go, Rob'll be spitting teeth if he doesn't go up in price big time.

Haha yeah I know what you mean about the prices. I just need to replace the weak link in my bowling attack, and going by his wage he's pretty high respectable, and he's a decent captain. Got him on two nets ATM, will up it to three ASAP

LOL 20 minutes left and Pugh still going at 7 mil, biggest steal of the century for whoever gets him

I think you really need to be a high/tough division team to make it worth your while with a player like that - their wage is massive and you need him up against real gun bats to see the difference between him and just some sensational/sensational type bowler who is less than half the wage.

Of course the NT comes into it as well, reduced wages but reduced usability as well.

 

[chaminda_00]

Div One England high enough - Ladbroke Rovers just bid on him...

Yea, English teams are all screwed if he gets him.

Which of course he did... ugh.

 

[chaminda_00]

All over sold for 7.1 mil to Rovers, can't see too many sides beating Rovers with this squad now.

Bloody hell. It's going to take some serious good luck to beat him. Either that, or wait until he gets bored...but that might take a while

I think it's fair to say that Nick played the market better than anyone, back in the beginning, and that's a big reason as to why he's so damn good now. Good training strategies helped, of course, but his trading was absolutely spot on, right from the start.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Oh well, at least it'll piss Robertinho off.

 

[Adamc]

Haha, god. Would've listed Malik and Harewood if I'd known he'd go for that price. I reckon a few people would've been scared off by the wages, but as long as he plays one NT game per week his wages are only 30k really. Whitehorne usually plays two NT games per week and is always back at sublime fitness by Friday.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha sheeeeet.

Wow!

How much further are you going to train Allen and McCammon? I assume you'll be sticking fielding nets on Allen in a season or two?
