Bit more than that for Winton - $1,588,103 but only have 12 players - 1 who failed to sell so do need a few youngsters in at Winton reasonably soon

12 youngster is fine... except for the Cup! Once you out of the Cup I`ve found no problems with TNT when I had such a small squad.

Good to hear although worried with regards to fitness as already had the odd player from both my squads get tired, ideally been hoping for 16 players, would mean 1 player plays 3 matches and the other 15 play 2 per week if planned out properly - so been looking at 5 signings and getting rid of Slade - who failed to sell although only in for 1 player currently. Better to wait a week or 2 for ideal option than rush one I'm not happy with but at the same time don't want to run this squad into the ground.

You can generally get through the fitness issues when building the squad. I used recuperation once or twice but mostly just swapped out that extra player when needed. I used to change batting order to make sure that low condition players came late and did not bat through innings. If you playing Cup games its very much more difficult, though.

I would not advice just buying players to fill up the squad. Keep what you have and use you extra monies to buy judiciously when a good player comes on the market and will make a real difference to the squad. Well that's what I did for TNTs at least after learning and making mistakes with the TMOs.

I think I already did that with 1 player - bringing them in to fill the squad - tbf last night they appeared a better buy to me than they did today but only 2k so no big worries but yh I'm not looking for a big squad just 15 or 16 so players can have only 2 games a week minus rest - if not mistaken conversation on here earlier suggested IGT mainly capped at 2 games a week and minimal benefit for the 3rd match. I am also wanting to sell Slade which would get me to 11 players at the moment - he didn't get a bid the first time but will keep him until I get a couple players in. Changing the batting order might be worth thinking about more - does anyone know roughly how much fitness is used up solely by fielding?

Something I've internally said to myself is not wanting to use training on recuperation - with a youth focused squad it feels like it might just be a waste of 1 of 9 training slots each week?

Someone sell me a groundsman. I think I am done massacreing the top heavy teams in my tier 3 leagues on 60+ damage wickets

Did my boys just forget to appeal for caught behind or is there something I am not getting about that fifth ball?

Comfortable victory for the Astronauts in the CWC9 shield. Congratulations @Jarquis. Result was never in doubt going by the strength of the two teams and the results in the group stages. Might have been a bit closer if we still had Naeem Ashraf in the squad.

With some scouting luck and judicious buying (time will tell!) the TMOs have managed to keep the production line of the development team strong; hopefully allowing for a consistent competitive TMOs that can maintain high performance for the next 6+ seasons... At the moment the biggest development priority is that of a young Sanne Langenhoven... hoping to get her into the 1st team asap.
