    Well, looks like I was wrong -- I managed 225, a vast improvement on my previous best. Withington Wonderers Top Order: exceptional Middle Order: exquisite Lower Order: competent Seam Bowling: miraculous (x3) Spin Bowling: masterful (x2) Fielding: respectable Batstats Rating: 225 1.

    CW Batstats Rankings

    Nice. My slide down the table continues :( Am going all-out in today's playoff match, of course, but I fear low stamina and non-existent morale will keep me in the 210s.

    Tough call. There's six levels' difference between his bowling and his cons...that's going to take several seasons to even up. I got a 17yo AR trainee, Harbin, last October, i.e. at the start of season 11. Think his bowling was high Resp, while his cons was Woeful. With one fielding net on him...

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    *starts waving the rooster round his head* :ph34r: Reports... Magical Ponies vs Withington Wonderers A rather knackered and demoralised but otherwise full-strength Withington side made the trip halfway across the world to Pleasure Town. The night before the game, McGregor, Sandwith and Fish...

    FOUR members per update? Try 6 or 7, as my horrendous end to the season has got worse and worse. The PFL changes have royally shafted me this season.

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    I guess not! Just my luck to have the only potentially contentious pairing (rankings-wise) in the competition contesting the final 8-) I thought I'd try to even the field a bit by giving lower-ranked teams home advantage wherever possible. If you disliked that (or liked it!), shout and we'll...

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    Congrats on the win, Andy...absolute thumping, in fact. I'll write the usual brief summaries up when I get a chance...unless anyone else is willing to write something a bit more detailed? Should be a good final. Magical Ponies, despite pulling the higher BT rating (when the cup was drawn)...

    Reckon you'd get at least £8M for him, £9M if you're lucky. Easily enough for you to hunt down that week 1 Proficient and take him to U19 and then NAT level. Probably enough for two of 'em, to be honest -- you can sell one off for the cash when he hits 19yo or so.

    You could always train stamina to Superb+1 (or strictly speaking, Superb+0.999...), but now the + indicates that a player has been trained as far as he'll go.

    Glad to hear it! At least the bots will get fewer and fewer as you go up the ladder.

    *does the relegation dance* Bugger. I was top of FC.II not so long ago!

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    Fair comment, but I laid down the plan a while ago -- semi-random QFs then SF and final using tennis-style matchups, so can't really go back on it now. Next time, would people prefer this to be the case? It could be done either by manipulating (well, restricting's probably a better word) just...

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    Semi-finals: Magical Ponies vs Withington Wonderers Three previous matches between two closely-matched teams, with Ponies having won two of them. Hopefully I'll be able to even that up! Alternative XI vs Central Districts The lowest-ranked team left in the competition take on the conquerors of...

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    Magical Ponies vs Coco's Nuts The Ponies brought Coco's Nuts' superb run in this season's competition to an end, with a fairly crushing victory. Nuts did well to last all 50 overs after falling to 62/6, but Hutchinson, supported by Faulconbridge, took them to a more respectable 179/9. In reply...

    Nah, it probably just means that their form's gone up a bit as well.

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    Sorry I've not been writing (too m)any updates -- tough deadline at work has meant very little slack time. Good to see all four matches arranged and ready to go. Remember that the winner of match 1 will play the winner of match 2 in one SF, and match 3 vs match 4 in t'other, with lower ranked...

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    It's been a decent cup so far, thanks mainly to the battles in your group! Nicely done Coco Man -- if you get through to the semi's, are you going to go Coco Loco?! Nicely done Trev, too -- always gracious in defeat :clapping: PFLs are shagging me too -- and that's having spent most of the...
