Nice buy. You only had to sell Horne to upgrade to him, right? Not bad

Couple of pops for Pietersen, and a good one for Camilleri.

Well Horne, Terry and Bunn + 2 and a bit million = Summers. Bunn has a bid of 1m on him, will probably go for a bit more than that. Will buy in a 5th bowler at some point, obviously could do with some interest to offset my increased wage bill (I'll be at half a million plus whatever extra for Bunn).

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Actually, if someone could tell me when Camilleri is likely to pop again in batting, and when his concentration will pop, that'd be good. I have him on a batting and a keeping net, and have for more than a season now, but he's had abysmal concentration for ages. I guess it takes longer to pop at extremely low levels.

Depending on whether he was strong before the wages were recalculated you're looking at about another 12 weeks for batting. You should get concentration pops every 6/7 weeks on those nets, the fact that it's abysmal doesn't make any difference.

Duggan dismissed by some 1000 btr homo, but waddell now presses on for his 9th career 100. but can lennon reach the magic mark as well?

End of Over 37: 317-2, runrate=8.57
Vuyisa 7-0-55-1
Waddell* 85 (73 balls)
Lennon 35 (29 balls)

Meh bought back Harewood, bit of a waste of money but wasn't going to let him go for 3m. Still got close to 7m so I might just try to pick up a decent remarkable or quality seamer for now and keep training Harewood, should be able to get me through this season anyway.

Must be close then, thanks.

 

[Robertinho]

Hey Fuller, do you have any Sports Psychologists? You need them for secondary pops.

Yea, he was just as good as Horne, but younger. The 150k is nowt considering how much more he could have sold for.

I still think buying a gun in would be the way to go, especially when you can hold out for ages (I couldn't but got a bit lucky) with loads of money.

 

[brenoevo]

Well i lost my league game but won my cup game this week. Predicting i may drop back to div 4 next season

Nice training today, my first remarkable primary player, should have close to 5 more of them by the end of the season

Couldn't tell you anything about the concentration, but he was at least halfway to quality when the wages recalculated. 7-8 weeks since then on one batting net, 4-5 weeks on two batting nets.

Certainly an enjoyable days cricket so far. The only sour point being Duggan's dismissal in the 28th over, when he was well on track to score 200+

End of Over 50: 425-3, runrate=8.50

Duggan 118 (80)
Rich 70 (43)
Waddell 133* (110)
