When does the cup draw come out?

Already is, just most teams have Byes first round.

Already is, just most teams have Byes first round.

Cheers...

Actually am happy to have a bye first up, it means i can rest Noon for a bit and hopefully have him fit enough to play my first league match.

Only the one pop today -

Philip Mcinally - 19 yo, BT Rating=16,651
RH Batsman, RF Bowler, superb batting form, strong bowling form, sublime fitness.
A steady player with superb leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: superb Concentration: proficient
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: woeful
Fielding: worthless

Thinking of selling Mcinally & Kerr, freeing up a few nets, buying an exceptional-sensational(ish) bat and also getting a 17yo to use their nets on. How much would they go for? Both 19yo, superb/strong & superb/prof, both with resp stamina. And how much would I need for an exceptional-sensational-perhaps even exquisite bat?

 

[Bobisback]

They would probably only sell for 3 million each, and you would be looking at 8-12 million for a decent bat.

Oh dear, wage updates are not a pretty sight.

Looking at £320k, Clemence' wages are only £76k which is a relief but Croft's are £64k and Harris' £46k meaning my bowling attack has a wage of £200k just by itself.

Not going to be able to keep all of them unfortunately. Likely to be Croft I get rid of if I'm honest. £64k is a lot for a masterful-exceptional and I'm likely to get a wad load of cash for him.

EDIT: Expansion of the ground is complete, up to 44k now but that only earns me 320k if it's full....

9. Glenn Sicelo - 20 yo, BT Rating=32,158
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, abysmal batting form, strong bowling form, fresh fitness.
A destructive player with feeble leadership skills and feeble experience.
Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: worthless Concentration: abysmal
Bowling: exceptional Consistency: superb
Fielding: woeful

Decent pop, also had a useless cons pop on Brinkhuys.

Wages could be close to 200, Wikus and Beaumont both above 30k, Sicelo about 20, Brinkhuys about 10.

Thinking of selling him, 9 millionish, would need a bid extremely soon. Someone be interested, f00lins, am looking at you.

 

[NZTailender]

Did the math, seems about 120k for wages for me this year, nearly doubling what it was for last season.

A couple of increases:

8. Eddie Ireland - 21 yo, BT Rating=78,311
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime fitness.
A cautious player with proficient leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: superb Wicket Keeping: worthless

Fielding: competent

2. Bill Middleton - 20 yo, BT Rating=24,854

An attacking player with feeble leadership skills and feeble experience.
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: superb Concentration: quality
Bowling: worthless Consistency: woeful
Fielding: feeble

Question: How much longer should I train Ireland for? I don't think he's far off 'remarkable' batting or 'wonderful' bowling, so I'm definately training him up to those levels, but should I train him further??

$130,615 -> $185,867

Happy with that.

Wages up to 149,736 - 20 % increase. Should earn a couple million this year too.

I'm inclined to think that a 19yo superb will fetch upwards to 4.5mil, just.

 

[Johnners]

Have an easy first round cup match @ home against a Div VI side. $$$ from the home game will be nice.
