Would be hoping for over a million at least, if he's going to go for less than that I'll buy him back.

Roger, putting a 1.2m bid on him aws.

 

[Robertinho]

Could he be any more gun?

Hahaha, well played Genuine lol there.

Pulled a gun YP. Listed him for 0, if anyone would put a decent bid on early that'd be nice.

Gunnn.

Thanks to you tbh, was going to go for a specialist bowler but you convinced me otherwise.

You're a good man, Clapham.

 

[nibbs]

i should think you'll get a handsome price for him. 2mil+ surely. if he was a kiwi i'd try and buy him.

Can anyone tell me how far this guy is from Remarkable?

Best YP allrounder on the TM imo. How much do you think he'll fetch? Wouldn't be surprised if he passed 4m.

 

[PY]

I was bidding on him but realised I really don't have anywhere near the funds to compete.

Was thinking I'd only need 2m for a resp-resp allrounder.

 

[Dead Badger]

You can have my resp/comp one for 1.5m...

He may need the occasional dose of ritalin for his concentration, though. And should probably only bat downhill until he gets a fitness net.

 

[new_age_ar]

Did it for you in case Rob doesn't get chance. I reckon he'll easy go to 2m looking at the prices so far. The secondaries don't matter too much because the wk will get trained a lot anyway so the secondaries will race up.

Thanks Pete, his currently going at 750k. He better go for 2 mil or I'm stuffed.

Brought this guy for just under 1.3 mil. Not happy with the price, but that seems the going rate.

Should do a decent job in my team for a couple seasons until Schutte (superb/prof) and Warnakulasuriya (strong/fee) are ready to dominate sides. Gives me four proficient plus bowlers. Will save now for strong plus bowler hopefully by next season to finish off my attack. Might be worth giving him a net for a couple week, seems close to strong. Does that SP guy still post here, he seems to know those things pretty accurately.

 

[Bobisback]

He would be more than half way imo, but the age would mean he would have to be on the 1 net for like a full season, not worth it really.

 

[new_age_ar]

He would be more than half way imo, but the age would mean he would have to be on the 1 net for like a full season, not worth it really.

Thought the secondaries might have a bigish impact on the wages. Was never going to be worth changing my training plan for just a strong player anyway. Unless I was going to re-sell him.

 

[Olwe]

Just asking for some advise with training; my main four players i trained last year was:

Howard Cave (1578040)

should i stop training some of them and start with some new young players or continee with these as i dont know when and how mcuh these will improve ???

many thanks; olwe

 

[Dead Badger]

Is that what they're like now? If so, I'd definitely ditch Naysmith and Geldenhuys, and I'd probably sell Frazer as well, or just keep him as a squad player. Only Cave is any sort of long-term prospect; the rest are just so far behind the curve that you might as well start again with some proper* 17-year-olds. Training Geldenhuys in particular is just pointless - you can get an equivalent 17yo for practically nothing who'll pop much faster in primaries. By 19 your trainee ought to be at least strong.

*And by "proper 17yo" I mean at least mediocre in primary, secondary and stamina. No "fixer-uppers" with shot stamina or no secondaries. You want someone who'll be able to play while training.

Could someone kindly tell me how far away from Remarkable they think Verhoeven (1 bowling net) is, or how far away from Quality Hamlin (2 bowling nets) is? I'm not sure what the wage ranges are for Quality & Remarkable.

How many nets should i have free to get him as i have rougly 4mil now.

 

[NZTailender]

I would (personally) put him on 2 bat, 2 bowl and 1 fielding and then trade the fielding for stamina once he hits 20.

 

[chaminda_00]

If your going to spend 4 mil, you might as well train them probably. I would go 2 bat, 2 bowl, 1 stamina, 1 field and maybe a 1 wk.
