How do you mean by unusual out of interest?

Is it because I've trained the secondaries so much?

 

[Adamc]

Unusual in Verde's case because his secondaries are completely out of proportion to his primaries. Otsembor isn't that unusual, except that he has a relatively high level of fielding; it's hard to tell how much value potential buyers will place on that.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Wonderful fielding at 18 is insane.

Should get good value for both, agree with Fullins.

 

[Scaly piscine]

I'd list Verde around the 3m mark and hope for the best, he doesn't have any long-term potential so he'd be the one I'd be far more inclined to sell.

 

[Adamc]

He listed him for 2m a while ago. Most of my transfer predictions have all been a bit short so far:

Black - 10.5m sold for 10.8m
Gaskin - 9.5m sold for 10.1m
Fox - 7.5m sold for 8m
Matthews - 'a bit under 8.5m' sold for 7.65m

Strange that a 22yo wonderful/superb went for more than a 20yo exceptional/superb.

 

[PY]

Yeah and I got outbidded 9 minutes before the deadline by the person selling him.

I would've gone higher too.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Q&A about to start in case anyone cares.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Not much of interest, BT20 gates will be about the same as friendly gates apparently - but with PFL decreasing at the normal rate (obviously playing a shorter game means you lose less PFL that way).

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Get ****ed, Twenty20 IRL has huge crowds ffs.

 

[Adamc]

Should've just had Twenty20 attendances the same as OD attendances but with a significantly reduced ticket price. Meh.

 

[chaminda_00]

Not as disappointed that i didn't get two home games and that i got a Div I side in my group now. Any news on FC next season btw?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

News on FC not coming next season has been released since about halfway through the current season. Where have you been?

*Playoff.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Anyone other than Young up for a friendly?

 

[Johnners]

yeah me again if you cbf

Managed to throw my Play-off game successfully and stay in Div V for hopefully one final season.

Thrashed my opposition in my playoff. Going by their ratings, they obviously wanted to lose, but I was still pretty pleased with the effort from the team.

Magical Ponies 4/321
Tedstone 92* (93), Griffin 86 (77), Kilkenny 61 (58)

SA Redbacks 133 (31.0)
Canning 6/39 (10), Tedstone 2/8 (5), Potgieter 1/27 (6)

It was very much a team effort batting wise, the lowest completed innings was Canning's 30 off 16 in the last few overs. Just noticed that I accidentally let Ziauddin (abysmal/abysmal) bowl instead of Erasmus. He took 1/31 off 5 though, so no real harm done. Was pretty happy though, it's Tedstone's highest score and Canning's first 6-fer. And of course, now I also get to stay in my league.

Oh yeah remember now they announced it the same time they announced Twenty20.

Looks like another season of Div III for me, we can't buy a wicket. Buts these two are their best batsmen, so if we get through them we could get lucky and roll them. Also H & F so they probably should be scoring faster. (i know im just going to jinx myself with that line)

End of Over 23: 110-0, runrate=4.78
