The commentary is random, when it says dropped catch it doesn't actually mean that a chance was created, it's just a line picked at random from the database. There are supposed to be specific lines to indicate dropped chances but they haven't been implemented yet, if that makes sense.

Ok still did notice a reduction in byes and increase in catches with pretty much the same sort of bowling attack. Even with an improved bowling attack his still taking the same amount of catches now, as he did when he first popped to superb.

 

[Nate]

Quite a few pops for me. Hindle again. Biggest gun.

I like that pop, hoping for Wikus to go to superb in bowling and consistency within the next month

 

[mikeW]

Clapo challengede you for a rematch.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

No pops here. Didn't really expect any though.

If anyone knows offhand, how many weeks should it take a 20 year old bowler on one bowling net to pop from proficient to strong? From the bottom level of proficient, that is.

 

[Robertinho]

I think it's around 14-15 weeks.

Anyway, Ralph is a mere 10 minutes from being sold, and I've got £9.7m waiting. I'm glad no one has gone nuts with pre-deadline bidding, he's only at £6.3m at the moment.

 

[Johnners]

Clapo challengede you for a rematch.

roger that, My Ground this time?

 

[mikeW]

roger that, My Ground this time?

Either ground doesnt bother me.

i challenged you at my ground but if you wanna play at your ground challenge me.

 

[Perm]

Got absolutely thrashed in my cup game, set my order's wrong and ended up having a batsman as my 5th bowler. I should pay more attention next time. Not a lot of positives, Derick kept it tight and Muckle, Makgale and Martin all got reasonable scores.

Wooohooo! Steeeal of the century:

Frank Ralph (332259)
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, respectable bowling form, sublime
An attacking player with strong leadership skills and mediocre experience.

Plays For: Anchormen
Nationality: Australia
Age: 21 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 79,538
Wages: £27,759 p/w
Stamina: strong Wicket Keeping: feeble
Batting: abysmal Concentration: quality
Bowling: exceptional Consistency: exceptional
Fielding: respectable

And I got him for... £6,977,190! A whole £1m less than Ashley Black. It also means my sale of Mills was pretty pointless, but it means I have nearly £3mil still in the bank (and I could hit 3m, if people continue bidding for Millsy). Hahaha, so happy about that. I only got 2 bids against me, from SCC Gorillas (Schmick) and Hammertime.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Fairly solid.

 

[Robertinho]

Hahaha, just got this message from Schmick:

Stupid bank wont give me anymore money. Like you need an exceptional bowler in div4 anyway.[/size]

Heh heh heh

 

[cricketboy29]

Stuff, Rob. I'm sure he's going to join the ranks of Whitehorne et al, as one to be feared in matches to come.

 

[Johnners]

Either ground doesnt bother me.

i challenged you at my ground but if you wanna play at your ground challenge me.

yeah, play at mine just to be different

i'll challenge you when i get home from work

 

[Robertinho]

Hahaha, won't make the CW BT XI but he's a fair gun. I believe that 7mil trumps the previous CW transfer record

Also, now that I've still got money left over, I'm upgrading my ground capacity to 30k, should be done in 10 days, in time for my next league game.

 

[Johnners]

Hahaha, just got this message from Schmick:

haha, someones a sore loser eh

 

[PY]

Quality stuff Rob, that paid off big time didn't it! Think you might beat me next match-up.

How will his wages affect you? He'd be half my wages if I had him though I guess the ground upgrade will help things.

Anyway, training time:

Bowling attack should be wond/sup/strong/sup/prof in next couple of weeks. Then can maybe think about improving my batting line-up.
