I don't know the maths of it, but I'm pretty sure you have next to no chance of getting him sublime in 14 days. You'd probably get him to invig, maybe low energetic.

If you netted him he'd be lively at best imo.

 

[Robertinho]

I can just give his fitness net to Appleyard. He's nearly at proficient anyway. I definitely need him firing in the OD game so I guess invigorated/energetic will have to do.

Thoughts on the purchase btw? Did I overpay? Personally what drew me was 1) the fact he is young and 2) miraculous is good enough to get the "guns" out... I lack someone who can do that.

 

[chaminda_00]

He is a cautious bowler with lowish secondaries. He not going to regular get 'guns' out. Will be very inconsistent imo.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Will be very inconsistent imo.

Disagree, he'll be very consistent but won't take sides apart. I'd back him to take 1/20 (10) as a minimum per game, sometimes he'll take a few more but he'll consistently take 1 or 2.

Personally, IMO it's a great purchase for the price. Low on stam and PFL but it's not like that won't be rectified within a season.

Yeah I agree with Smith. I'll set him on defensive and I predict 1/20 off 10 overs to be a classic Dyke performance. I think he'll probably take 2 or 3 quite often and once in a while have a ripper and get 5, but for the most part getting a solid 1-2 wickets a game whilst conceding 1-3rpo.

 

[chaminda_00]

Surely for someone at that level you would want them to take more wickets then that. Though I guess if you have others taking wickets around them it not as big deal.

Btw interms of price I think he a great buy. But if you wanted a major wicket taker then well don't think he is the guy. But if you happy with 1-3 key wickets a game then he pretty good I guess. Depends on what you need from him.

Dismisses Dylan for 103.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Jason Krejza just dismissed Sehwag, Dravid, Laxman, Ganguly and Dhoni in one innings. Real life is far weirder.

I didn't say it shouldn't happen blahblahscalyblah, just iterated my rage. I can imagine Gary Kirsten was going "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" as well.

 

[Dead Badger]

Yeah yeah, I was more sharing in the bewilderment. Krazy stuff all round.

GFI'd for this one, probably the difference in the end. Got a slightly harder team next week, don't think we can pull it off.

Why cant i get teams like that in the cup. Got another Div III team, after i struggled through this weeks Div III team.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I got a former gun recently turned bot, should be a comfortable passage through, unlike this weeks near-disaster.

Happy enough with that. Now if only I could swap his stamina with Dyke's.

 

[EARLOBE]

I need to train another 12 weeks to get his stamina to the highest level right?

Nope. The stamina ceiling is superb +6. So only 6 weeks if you want it to be at the absolute maximum.
