I will if no-one else will. Challenge sent...

Mnay thanks - accepted.

I assume you'll hammer me, but still...

One thing I wouldn't mind knowing is what the hell is the 'bharattrick' forum? I've tried searching for it on Google and got nothing...

http://z13.*****************/Bharattrick/index.php

It's just a discussion forum about India in Battrick, run by Hex (I think). It's used for little more than U19 squad updates etc.

EDIT: You know what it is.

[Kweek]

Yeah, what he says. I spent longer trying to figure out why you thought it was close!

 

[Kweek]

Okay, so that makes it a bit more difficult...

Woeful stamina and Respectable fielding, versus Competent and Abysmal.

I think I would actually have gone for Beechers, unless his wages were noticeably lower than August's.

I don't have a huge squad, but I'll rest a couple of players to make it a bit more even. Look forward to it.

Who do you guys think is better for my team:

James Matthews (495569) 
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime 
A destructive player with woeful leadership skills and abysmal experience. 

Plays For: Anything Goes 
Nationality: England 
Age: 22 Years Old 
Battrick Rating: 9,759  
Wages: £3,015 p/w 
 
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: worthless 
Batting: worthless Concentration: woeful 
Bowling: superb Consistency: feeble 
Fielding: abysmal 

13. Kieran Lebohang (435371)
RH Batsman, RF Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime 
A defensive player with respectable leadership skills and abysmal experience. 

Plays For: winners11 
Nationality: Australia 
Age: 21 Years Old 
Battrick Rating: 14,022  
Wages: £3,383 p/w 
 
Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: competent 
Batting: worthless Concentration: woeful 
Bowling: superb Consistency: respectable 
Fielding: woeful

My current two seamers are both defensive bowlers, so i would rather an attacking bowler. But Matthews has some pretty average secondaries and Lebohang has some half decent ones. Matthews is going for 1.2 Mil and Lebohang is going for 1.5 Mil.

Whats everyones consensus now on fielding nets? I have two (as you can see) for Gleeson and Weerappuli but if they don't add much I'd like to give Benjamin (who's 18) a bat and bowl net. Reckon it'd be worth it? Or should I stick with fielding?

 

[NZTailender]

Swapped Gleesons fielding net for a bowling ent for Benjamin. I can just swap the fielding net spot between Gleeson and Weerappuli every so often, anyway.


Scaly, how far away would Benjamin be for popping?

Looks like batting and bowling should pop within a month, probably both within a couple of weeks (assuming he's had a bat and bowl since the wages update).

 

[Scaly piscine]

God I hate the transfer market, all the dullards out there that are just sitting there with millions let a miraculous-miraculous go for 7m now as soon as I sell players to give me some money they all bid for the players I'm after. Absolute morons.

If you're actually trying to boost fielding, fair enough.

However, if your main aim is to improve secondaries, I'd say hold off the fielding net. Your team is going to benefit more from your nets if you concentrate on primaries until your players are a little older.

That's assuming that you're training-to-keep rather than training-to-sell. If the player isn't going to be long term, and you're just after a fast buck, a couple of levels of secondaries might get you a better price.

£7M was an absolute bargain, given how much lesser players are going for.

Unfortunately, I can't afford £700k, never mind £7000k
