Three pops for me, all of them pretty handy:

Phil John - 22 yo, BT Rating=60,967
LH Batsman, LH Spin Bowler, steady.
Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: abysmal Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: exceptional Consistency: _exceptional_
Fielding: competent

Keith Fish - 18 yo, BT Rating 19,182
LH Batsman, LFM Bowler, destructive.
Stamina: woeful Wicket Keeping: _quality_
Batting: proficient Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: worthless Consistency: feeble
Fielding: _woeful_

Fish is turning into a pretty decent WK/bat, albeit some way short of U19 level. I've currently got FIVE nets on him -- batting x2, WK, fitness and fielding. I'll stick him in my first XI as soon as he hits feeble stamina.

Only one pop that i can see

Sean Appleyard - 17 yo, BT Rating=6,408
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, proficient batting form, competent bowling form, lively
A cautious player with worthless leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: worthless Concentration: abysmal
Bowling: proficient Consistency: mediocre
Fielding: competent

On the TL you go - should bring in some decent money.

Won both my games. Have a chance in my league but its going to be a case of managing my fitness and getting lucky as there are a few of us about the same level. Should be a close game in the cup - the team i'm playing are in the league above (they just played the team that won my league last year and narrowly won) but i might have a chance. It's whether its worth going pan or even gfi if it could ruin my chances in the league.

these are my ratings on a pan

Lancashire
Top Order: quality
Middle Order: competent
Lower Order: abysmal
Seam Bowling: superb
Spin Bowling: superb
Fielding: mediocre

This is my league game

Knowle Village CC
Top Order superb
Middle Order competent
Lower Order: woeful
Seam Bowling: strong
Spin Bowling: respectable
Fielding: mediocre

and this is my cup

Walshys Wonders
Top Order: strong
Middle Order: strong
Lower Order: feeble
Seam Bowling: proficient
Spin Bowling: superb
Fielding: mediocre

any suggestions?

Probably ****ed my chances of going up already, by losing to my nearest rivals, Who's Your Daddy, on the opening day of the season, but bounced back with a straight forward win this week.

Chloe Crusaders 216 A/O (46). Simonds 97, Bewers 6/31
Cymru Gurgitaters 217/1 (34.1) Greening 110* (106), Noon 71* (86)

Ratings of Strong/Resp/Abs - Prof/Prof/Feeb, still down a bit on last season!

And made it into the fourth round of the Cup in regulation fashion.

Fresh Team 199 A/O (47), Clea 55, Sutton-Wood 55, Bewers 4/23, Cash 2/48, Wilde 2/41
Cymru Gurgitaters 200/1 (40.2), Greening 126* (123) Noon 31* (56), Patel 31 (60)

Fourth round oppos arr tough, really need to GFI, but can't if I still harbour any ambitions of promotion, because I've got two equally tough league matches either side.

Hoveshire Hawks (League 8/6): Strong/Resp/Woe - Strong/Prof/Feeb
Wideboy CC (Cup 10/6): Sup/Med/Abs - Prof/Med/Feeb
Retikhaul Veets CC&FC (League 15/6): Strong/Resp/Abs - Resp/Qual/Feeb

If I win two of those three I think I'll be happy.

Later, Trev

 

[Dead Badger]

Bloody hell, Trev, have you got 20 nets or something?

Anyone up for a friendly next weekend? The great Cup adventure is over for another season for me...

 

[Scaly piscine]

Glad to see I'm still well up there on the BatStats, thought I might slide down a bit while other teams have transfers and I'm stuck with what I have for a while. Of course this week I should have been a place lower on the World Elite table... those match order ****ups have to hurt.

Edit: Actually it's not done WI (and Pakistan, SL) yet, shame

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Only pop, but Hiller went to Proficient batting form, so ****ing ****.

Yeah, Sambrook's at mediocre bowling form. It's ****ing ********.

 

[chaminda_00]

Its good being in Sri Lanka, the longish cup run is keeping my players form up. Will be interesting to see how long it last as i don't expect to win a league game for a while.

 

[NZTailender]

Anyone want a super easy friendly this week? Challenge Tawonga Tigers.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Anyone want a super easy friendly this week? Challenge Tawonga Tigers.

Done.

 

[NZTailender]

Done.

Prediction: all out 15.

Edit: I set to bowling first so your guys can have a big hit out.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I'm always set to bat first, so (Y)

EDIT: Also, last time we played you made 199.

Yeah, that took about 20 points off my batstats rating. On the plus side I apparently had the highest attendance in the world on Friday, just ordered an expansion to 53k.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yeah, Sambrook's at mediocre bowling form. It's ****ing ********.

How is it? Because international players are always on superb form? Oh wait.

 

[Bobisback]

How is it? Because international players are always on superb form? Oh wait.

Im fairly sure he meant that even though a player is performing and getting trained, he can still go down in form every week. Didnt read any part of that post where he said that the best players are winning out on this random form thing.
