Haha, I see the guy I got to buy Coburn from me for 15m has a nigh on 16m bid for him. The world has gone mad.

There's one born every minute.

 

[Mahindinho]

A fielding pop, consistency for a batsman, and both conc and cons for my 17yo all-rounder.

Sadly, my YP from two weeks back still hasn't popped to Resp bowling -- reckoned he'd be a high Competent. Hopefully it'll happen next week, then I can flog him as a Resp/Mediocre bowler.

Some good pops. Including Batty finally popping in batting...

Okay guys, I've got a pretty urgent question. I am lining up this guy on the TM but he goes in about 15 hours so if I'll need to be pretty spot on with prices. He is currently at £11.5m:

Brian Probert (1578276)


RH Batsman, RF Bowler, strong batting form, abysmal bowling form, lively fitness.
An attacking player with woeful leadership skills and woeful experience.

Plays For: 	Rothsy Rd. Gentlemen
Nationality: 	England
Age: 	20 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 	56,199
Wages: 	£19,990 p/w
Processing ...
Stamina: 	superb 	Wicket Keeping: 	worthless
Batting: 	abysmal 	Concentration: 	mediocre
Bowling: 	exceptional 	Consistency: 	wonderful
Fielding: 	proficient

Obviously, having only £1.5m myself means I'll have to sell someone. I have been contemplating selling Ralph for a while and as Probert will kill two birds with one stone (immediate, viable alternative to Ralph & an RF - currently I have two Ms and no Fs). How much will I need to get Probert and will Ralph fetch that much? As I obviously need the money quickly how much should I list Ralph for, and if possible, could anyone put an early bid on him?

Frank Ralph (332259)


RH Batsman, RM Bowler, mediocre batting form, strong bowling form, sublime fitness.
An attacking player with strong leadership skills and quality experience.

Plays For: 	Anchormen

Cheers.

[Robertinho]

Aghhhh, kents. No early bids for Ralph...

[NZTailender]

In a spot of bother in my match. My best bat got out for single figures and we don't have much after the current two. Finally a decent challenge, though.

End of Over 10: 29-3, runrate=2.90
Hawes 5-1-14-3
Siyabonga* 6 (9 balls)
Wilberforce 11 (19 balls)
Last Wicket: Drummond b. Hawes 5 (FOW: 12/3)

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

End of Over 24: 141-2, runrate=5.88
Wright-phillips 7-1-40-0
Shaka* 21 (30 balls)
Dylan 79 (78 balls)
Last Wicket: Campbell lbw b. Zaheer 9 (FOW: 75/2)

Going alright, need these two to take me past 200 and I should win.

 

[NZTailender]

End of Over 27: 104-4, runrate=3.85
Bhatti 7-0-44-0
Alshaun* 2 (5 balls)
Wilberforce 45 (57 balls)
Last Wicket: Siyabonga c. Hawes b. Bowditch 43 (FOW: 100/4)

Decent rebuild. Going to be screwed when his best bowler comes back on, though.

 

[Bobisback]

End of Over 27: 104-4, runrate=3.85
Bhatti 7-0-44-0
Alshaun* 2 (5 balls)
Wilberforce 45 (57 balls)
Last Wicket: Siyabonga c. Hawes b. Bowditch 43 (FOW: 100/4)

Decent rebuild. Going to be screwed when his best bowler comes back on, though.

Not with the legend that is Alshaun at the crease.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

End of Over 18: 90-6, runrate=5.00, reqrunrate=7.31 (323-3)
Shaka 4-1-20-3
Derry* 61 (51 balls)
Zaheer 0 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Wright-phillips lbw b. Shaka 2 (FOW: 90/6)

Shaka my hero.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

19.3 W Shaka to Zaheer
Zaheer isn't happy with that! Clean bowled by Shaka. Just swung in and carved him up!

Come on! Shaka, Shaka, Shaka, Shaka, Shaka-Shaka it!

 

[clarke23]

Whats the record for best bowling on debut?

My player got 6-15 but 9 wickets in total for the whole first class match.

 

[Bobisback]

End of Over 35: 181-1, runrate=5.17, reqrunrate=4.47 (247-8)
Staveley 4-0-18-0
Wilkinson* 93 (118 balls)
Stonebridge 81 (91 balls)
Last Wicket: Danie st. Greenwood b. Louw 0 (FOW: 5/1)

Unbelievable performance here by Wilkinson, Superb-Prof 18yr old up against the best bowling in the league.

 

[NZTailender]

Ended up winning quite well actually, Wilberforce making an unbeaten tonne and everyone chipped in with wickets. Good all-round win.

 

[headhunter]

Lost by 10 wickets.
