Worth it?

not worth it... he'll be 19 soon...

 

[chaminda_00]

Don't think age is the big factor, its more about how close he is to strong bowling. If his close then a player with his secondaries and stamina go for that price.

 

[Nate]

Looked at my fixture list and HELLO! Looks like they`ll be eight teams per group with the top two going through.

That be a lot of crickey.

 

[Nate]

Just wondering what a good number of Sports Psychologists, PR Officers and Financial Advisors would be? Never really thought enough about it. And also, do we know what form is based on?

 

[Scaly piscine]

There's only one good team in my group - Bossanove, who get wonderful top order and elite spin but there's nothing too much to worry about. Even if I lose to them I'll get one of the top two spots.

Hmm adam and fish boy in the same Twenty20 division.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Hmm adam and fish boy in the same Twenty20 division.

Fairly confident of a CW sweep there.

 

[EARLOBE]

I'll be lucky to win more than one game in my group. I've even got a Div.I team.

Will be tough to get top 2 here, Tassie tigers will kill me, will be close between me and red dragons, i want my old T20 league back

 

[chaminda_00]

Hey Clapo im going to have to rest Jeithoon and Murali for our friendly just too many games to play this off season and i want them full fitness for important Twenty20 matches.

EDIT: Just had a look through my league and all D4 and one crap D3 sides. Looks like i can TIE all the way and rest who ever i want. So Jeithoon and Murali will be unleashed on Clapo's XI.

In the same boat here, went from a **** easy league to a very tough one.

Looks like they've been redrawn again, so you might be in luck.

 

[oz_fan]

Got a great draw in the B20 comp. The best team is a low ranking division 4 team and the rest are all in division 5. I'm aiming for a top 4 finish.

 

[andyc]

Haha ffs, now I have to go through every team again and look at their ratings. Not complaining mind you, they're all in Div 5

Edit: Very pleased after having a look through it, a lot of TIE wins and I should take first fairly easily. The only other decent team in it is something like this:

Thank you Battrick.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

I now get five division five sides, one from division three of about equal strength to me and one from division four with two BTR 100,000+ players and several more over 50,000. Could be tight for second.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Got all easy games this time looking at the divisions they're in, not checked the ratings tho.

 

[Adamc]

No longer in Morpork's league, got an even easier one now.

 

[chaminda_00]

FFS got two other D2 sides, one that was in my league and I have little chance of winning. The 2nd side came 4th in their league and has some gun players, but little depth. Then two relatively tricky D3, but i should be able to beat them with 2nd string sides. Should finish in the top 3, but not happy with the changes.

 

[cricketboy29]

Meh, hard to say - not a bad price by market standards. They're about 3000 BTR off the minimum, I would think it's unlikely to be in the stamina, so with any luck their bowling sublevel will be decent.

As long as you intend training them properly they're ok.

Right, what would you recommend, I've got 5 nets free.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Right, what would you recommend, I've got 5 nets free.

3 is more than enough, 2 bowl and 1 field. I suppose if you really wanted you could give him a batting net for a while but it's somewhat of a waste unless you commit to it long-term but they'd still only end up around superb or quality (with a good secondary).
