Has anyone got any idea as to the wage limit for exceptional and sensational are?

Got a couple of wonderfuls who I've no idea how close they are to exceptional and how much their wages might be if I train them to the intended level of sensational.

From what I know, exceptional is about 17.5 k, and sensational is about 24.5.

Don't list him. He'll compete with my guy.

Phiri 30 (53 balls)
Last Wicket: Prest st. Terry b. Potgieter 5 (FOW: 32/2)

FFS, take some wickets. It's hard and fast, but you'd think that against high comp/low resp batsmen, they would've lost a few more

Have completely forgotten about battrick past couple of weeks really, didn't realise I had a cup match today. Have set some orders now anyway.

Tiisetso the weak link today...though he has been for a while.

Luckily I have enough options - Bennie and Weerappuli not playing todays game.

Edit: Just listed Tiisetso. It's time for him to leave the Tigers.

Dammit, Canning gets out with 10 runs to go for victory. Yet another reason for him not opening the batting. Apart from that it was a good start to the season for me.

Tedstone 3/11 (6), Canning 3/20 (10), Erasmus 2/5 (5)

Magical Ponies 1/80 (10.5)

Haha. All out for 14, brutal.

Have never done well in the cup tbh.

 

[PY]

Haha, the last 8 batsmen for my opposition today got 0. Needless to say, it was pretty comprehensive victory.

 

[andyc]

FFS. My next cup match:

minimalmen
Top Order: strong
Middle Order: feeble
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: superb
Spin Bowling: proficient
Fielding: mediocre

I'm away as well, so I could well be out of the cup without getting a home game. I'll have to bowl them out fairly cheaply I guess.

Thinking about going for a H&F pitch, as they say spinners are known to work well on them, also because my batting lineup is probably stronger then his.

So now that I've bought a new batsman trainee, I'm faced with the significant problem of nettage. I was originally planning on training Tedstone (currently a strong/prof bat) to superb batting with one bat one field. Then, now that I've bought 17 year old Bill "The King" Burger (resp/feeble, comp stamina), I've taken Tedstone off his fielding net and given it to Burger. Given that he's 17 though, I'd obviously prefer him to be on at least two nets.

So should I take Tedstone off his batting net and give it to Burger as well? Or should I rearrange my nets in another way (I could conceivably take Canning off his fielding net). Anyway, my current net set up is:

Any thoughts would be welcome

 

[Adamc]

I'd give him one of Terry's batting nets, or Tedstone's. Although personally I'd have kept training Tedstone's bowling a bit more.
