Lolcats @ their batting.

Haha yeah, a few early wickets usually sees them done. They have Duce batting at 5 to presumably stop the rot, but if both openers are gone he has noone to stay with him. Haffy's bowling is probably a little stronger than mine, but they not fully fit this time of the season.

Was glad I got up!

Just got a PM from the Oz U-19 manager about this chap:

Arthur Bennie - 17 yo, BT Rating=11,279
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler. He is a steady player with competent leadership skills and abysmal experience.
He currently has competent batting form, competent bowling form and lively fitness.
Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: competent
Batting: worthless Concentration: abysmal
Bowling: strong Consistency: competent
Fielding: woeful

Is he in with a shout?

End of Over 33: 189-2, runrate=5.73, reqrunrate=8.18 (327-2)
Patton 10-0-56-0
Mcdonnell* 75 (84 balls)
Nicholl 100 (103 balls)

Should see a collapse from them soon.

 

[Nate]

He is definately all about the bowling. But his good players are now approaching early to mid twenties, and the training is slowing up.

Was really happy with my win today. We depend on Chawla something huge, but it was nice to see Hunt stand up after Hamlin's golden. And my bowlers just keep improving every match.

 

[Nate]

@ headhunter

Most definately mate. Would require a lot of nettage, but if you're willing, he can make it.

 

[headhunter]

Currently have him on 2 bowl, 1 field and 1 stam. I'd be able to give him 5 nets at most.

 

[Bobisback]

Won an OD match today I guess my Nat bowler helped alot.

I get messages all the time from the England U19 team about my little trainee, I guess from what they see he would look like a monster:

Eamonn Johal (2432286)

Eamonn is a RH Batsman and RM Bowler. He is a defensive player with mediocre leadership skills and worthless experience.

He currently has respectable batting form, woeful bowling form and moderate fitness.
Plays For: Four Pillars and Poor Fillers
Nationality: England
Age: 18 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 47,652
Wages: £5,516 p/w

They dont see the rest though, which I doubt will be U19 material:


Stamina: superb Wicket Keeping: feeble
Batting: superb Concentration: superb
Bowling: superb Consistency: quality
Fielding: proficient

Maybe, depends on when his bowling pops, have no idea on the sub level.

They honestly message me every two weeks asking for his skills, wish they would just write them down or some ****.

Wow, hes awesome. With my respectable bowling and consistency, competent stamina bowler they wanted me to use 7 nets or something, which is why I didn't do it. I wish I had an older side, but my whole team is 17 year olds, apart from 2 originals, and now I'm buying older players only. I bought 2 17 year olds yesterday, I don't know why. I wanted to sell them, but forgot about the 42 day period or whatever. Hopefully when they sell they go for more than the 1k I bought them for, because I don't have the nets for them.

 

[Jakester1288]

Well, perhaps strengthen is a better word than rebuild.

Anyway, I'm in a really low division/league, and don't expect to be promoted this season, but I do for next season.

I have bought the majority of my team, and this is how my team looks now.

I'm looking to sell Earle, and get rid of Waterworth eventually, however he is in really good form at the moment, and find a way to get 3 nets on bowling for Fillery, and 3 on batting for Mukhopadhyay.

My nets are as follows.

Fillery
Bowling x 2

Mukhopadhyay
Batting x 2

Nissanka
Keeping x 1
Batting x 1

Rocastle
Bowling x 1

Waters
Stamina x 1
Bowling x 1

I wish there was more nets, want more for Nissanka and Waters especially.

Plan is, sell Earle, if he doesn't go this week for 10k+, then I'll try him again for 1k next week. Then, I need to buy a strong or better bowler, with at least mediocre consistency, to bring into the side, to partner my other strong bowler and my respectable 17 year old bowler. Then, I'll remove Waterworth, being a 30 year old med, med, med spinner, then as time progresses, and I find another strong or better bowler, remove Rocastle.

So I should end up with something like this:

Mukhopadhyay
Batting x 3

Fillery
Bowling x 3

Nissanka
Batting x 2
Keeping x 1

Someone
Stamina x 1

Or, perhaps, Waters with 1 bowling net and Nissanka with 1 batting, or the stamina net being removed.

Good, or should I do it some other way?

How many nets do you have them on?

Allison is getting 1 bowl and 1 field. F*** he is the man.

Pearson is getting 2 bat and 1 wk. One of his batting nets will move to stamina at some stage next season I reckon, probably when he reaches Quality batting.
