Can I have some thoughts from people?:

Bardle on V.Attacking in FC - good, or bad?

Adam's input would be especially valued

I wasn't around when he went off, I could've gone to 4.3, wasn't going any higher than 4 though.

[Scaly piscine]

End of Over 9: 24-9, runrate=2.67
Dillon 1-0-1-2
Cash* 6 (5 balls)
Davis 0 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Singh lali c. Tynan b. Dillon 0 (FOW: 24/9)



Oh and I'd think that sensational will go for around 8m, not worth that, but that's about the mark I can see people bidding.


Edit: 25 all out in 10 overs

 

[Scaly piscine]

Chased my target down quickly as expected.

Withington scored this:

End of Over 20: 161-4, runrate=8.05
Bowler 4-0-33-0
Hayward* 5 (3 balls)
Sandwith 39 (28 balls)

Last Wicket: Gonasilan Run Out 0 (FOW: 149/4)



It's on a cracked with partially cloudy and humid conditions against an average batting lineup. I expect to see some wickets flying. Ladbroke and Phil doing well as expected in their games, but they're by no means through yet.

25ao!

Tucks reports that his batting order is knackered -- he's rested his 1st and 4th best batsmen, so Lovegrove and Hird are the only two who might cause me trouble.

Unfortunately, they're going along nicely, above the required rate. I'm using two backup bowlers, and they're getting tonked. One wicket soon though, and the match is mine!

Pob's getting concerned about fitness, BTW.

 

[Mahindinho]

Aquantra 88/1 at the halfway point, chasing 161/4.

If I don't get a wicket soon, I'm going to be in trouble.

 

[Nate]

Flying to victory mate.

 

[Mahindinho]

Well, that's me out -- they chased the target down with 10 balls to spare. Serves me right for resting three key players in a quarter-final.

Keep flying that flag, Scaly.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Having Perry open was a shocker, batsmen hardly get out anyway, but against that bowling attack... best batsmen first

 

[Mahindinho]

Sandwith's TFL was suffering -- I really didn't want him to bat. Plan was to bowl him out cheaply then chase a small target. Unfortuntately, I lost yet another toss and my bowlers weren't up to it anyway.

Plus, I suspected that Tucks might throw in one of his better bowlers.

Keep flying that flag, Scaly.

Thought you were chasing...

Unlucky buddy.

 

[Adamc]

Nice draw for Scaly next round. Should be an interesting match actually, Ladbrokes have a mutant batting lineup but only three bowlers, none of whom are particularly amazing.

Great Stuff Scaly, Bring home Ladbrook's scalp for the CW boys. I think Adam beat him in a Friendly, but a competitive win would be even better.

Sorry to nag, but while you're all hear, any thoughts on the training dilemma on the last page?

Tar, Trev

Sell the YP, you won't get 2m tho, probably won't get half that. You'll be able to buy a YP who's better value than the one you're selling - the market is dumb.

 

[nibbs]

damit, they only had to keep their heads for 12 balls. ffs.

hopefully my side can recover some stamina before the opening cup fixture on monday, particulary graham and vermaak. otherwise the side is in reasonable shape.

i've got 5mil in the bank, and i'd like to spend 3mil on an extra bowler. anyone know what that would buy me in this day and age?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Feeble-Feeble max.

I think that'd probably get you a decent Superb....or maybe even a Quality with poor secondaries.

At least, I HOPE that £3M would get you a Superb.

 

[Adamc]

You'd get a superb but don't expect equivalent secondaries. You might be able to get a quality/woeful/woeful or something, but no one good.
