How is this possible? Having no sport psychos?

[Scaly piscine]

Probably looking at 4.5-5 million combined

 

[PY]

Really? I wasn't expecting them much to be honest! Was thinking more like 3.5-4m.

2.5 for Mamello and 2 for Carey? When would the best time in your opinion be to put them in the list? I'm thinking for either a Friday or a Sunday as most people will log on then.

 

[Agent TBY]

How much would I get for him?

Willy Barton - 18 yo, BT Rating=7,782

Can't really be bothered training him up.

Yea, Friday evening shortly after the games finish is good, as is Sunday. You should get bids if you list them for 2 and 2.5. Mamello could attract a bit of a bidding war if you're lucky.



Should get 1.5m or so for Barton.

To cure by boredom from being sick today I have been tuning in to a close match between New Zealand U19 and South Africa U19! Drifting out a bit at the moment to an easy win to New Zealand.

I just got a new team Tamil Eelam CC, i got a couple guys i think have potential and might be worth training. Tharmi reckons i should forgot about them and just buy, buy and buy some more. I reckon i should look at working on these guys first and then buy players later. I want a 3rd opinion, should i buy or get these guys to a ok level.

[AussieDominance]

Buy as there are Mediocre/Mediocre batsmen and bowlers out there who are 17 yo and would get to higher levels much quicker and therefore benifit your team better.

Note i only have a couple other mediocre players outside these guys. So any suggestions?

As it's been said, buy some med/med players on the market to train, and throw in some older comp/comp or higher (not too many, mind, as that costs plenty of $$$) as clutch players.

These players, for instance:

[AussieDominance]

I would probably have Penford on the Fielding as at the moment he is the closest one to making your first team so if you put it on him he is more likely to get into your team before Old.

 

[new_age_ar]

I just brought my first batsmen for 44k, im going to try and buy a keeper/batsmen later tonight and then see what happens.

Good purchase, pretty good value too. Get him on 2 batting nets.

@ Allen, he's so gun. Pity his secondary for bowling is relatively poor!

 

[claudio]

i winned

 

[Agent TBY]

i winned

This whole forum winned with your appearance.

 

[nibbs]

big news today out of whenuapai is that we have had a bid on wonderful batsmen dwayne waddell. waddell is set to sell for at least £6,500,000 in about 2 hours time. since joining the side as an 18 year old, he has gone on to make a pretty big impact at whenuapai scoring 10 100s along the way, including 2 crucial 100s, against afc wombles! and calvi's xi who were, and still are, the national champions, on our run to the cup semis in season 4. he'll be missed, but we will get someone better.

have a nice day

 

[new_age_ar]

I had my first bidding war earlier today and completely lost the plot. I set myself a max of 50k for the guy below, but after everyone else kept bidding on him i ended out throwing 100k. I hope the reason why a lot of guys were bidding on him is cus his close to respectable batting. Anyway im not too worried, from what i've been told keeper batsmen are very good guys to build a side around these days, so it will be worth it in the long run hopefully.

I brought in a few other 17yo mediocre players to fill the other nets, i've been informed that Merry (£428 p/w wages) and Tailor (£401 p/w wages) are close to competent. If they pop soon i'll put them on two batting nets. Here my current side now:

Alex Carter-harris - Competent Bat (2 Bat Nets, 1 FieldNet)
Barry Merry - Mediorce Bat (1 Bat)
Joe Delgado - Competent Bat (2 Bat Nets, 1 WK Net)
Josh Tailor - Mediorce Bat (1 Bat)
Julian Lisbie (c) - Mediorce Bat (1 Bat)
Usmal Samaranayake - Feeble Bat, Feeble Bowl
Geeta Jebamani - Mediocre Bat
Inkoa Goonasekara - Abysmal Bat, Mediocre Bowl
Edmand Herath - Worthless Bat, Competent Bowl
Roland Walcott - Worthless Bat, Mediocre Bowl (1 Bowl)
Adrian Douglas - Worthless Bat, Mediocre Bowl

Looks quite mediocre too me, i probably wont buy anyone else for a while just see how these guys go. BTW Tharmi i challenged you for the first official Cricket Eelam Cup.
