That puts me 7th in my league interestingly, but I reckon I'll finish around 5th or 6th.

 

[Scaly piscine]

hmm, scaly, how much would it be worth financially, to be putting 2 batting nets and 2 keeping nets into a 17yo?? i purchased him for 1.12mil, so, hypothetically, if i was to sell 6 weeks later, what kind of price would be the minimum i would want in return?

It depends somewhat on if you've got spending money available, say you have like 1m or so to spend then you could easily find medium/high profs/strongs and get a profit of well over half a million on in a couple of months on one net. Also depends on what return you'd be getting on your nets if the nets weren't going on the 17yo - given how you'll have a good squad this would take quite a lot to overcome (unless you've lots of older players) because obviously adding a level of primary to superb+ finished article type players (as in good cons, stamina etc. - no deficiencies) would probably add around a million in value.

Anyway you should be looking at well over 50k a net return for it to be worthwhile, which would be in excess of a million in value for every 5 weeks of training. You should be looking to get in the region of 3m for that guy in 6 weeks.

Obviously you would get the best value per net if you didn't have duplicate nets. Whatever you get on the 17yo on 4 nets for 6 weeks, you could get the same on 2 nets for 9-10 weeks because he'd have the exact same primaries by then (with a bit better secondaries).

Hmm, that stats thing doesn't have Div 5?

Interesting, should be close match on Sunday. Have to admitt im gutted to be below Andy. I wonder where i stack up next to some Div 5 sides in Australia and England i.e Mike, Justin, Dwyer. Smith etc.

EDIT: Looks like i just make the Top 50 in Sri Lanka, also looks like II.2 is easiest D2 in Sri Lanka, so i guess i've be tryng to get a playoff against one of those teams if possible.

 

[nooga99]

Will have to rework my nets now that i picked up this guy for $1.37 million.

Edwin Fanyana (954796)
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, changeable
An attacking player with superb leadership skills and woeful experience.

Plays For: Dalmeny Cricket Club
Nationality: Australia
Age: 18 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 13,106
Wages: £2,672 p/w

Stamina: abysmal Wicket Keeping: strong
Batting: strong Concentration: feeble
Bowling: worthless Consistency: abysmal
Fielding: worthless

Is 2 levels better in keeping and 4 in batting then current keeper Wilkey.

I currently have these guys in the nets:

Disley- 2xbatting,1xfielding
Giles- 2xbowling, 1x fielding
Tucker- 2xbatting,1x stamina
Lovers- 1xbowling

Its come time to remove Lovers from the nets and replace his bowling net with a keeping for Fanyana. I think i should put one of Tucker's batting nets on Fanyana and also give him the stamina net. Thoughts?

 

[chaminda_00]

I would share Disley and Giles fielding net myslef, rather then dropping Tucker's 2nd batting net.

 

[NZTailender]

Having yet another good time vs a bot.

End of Over 50: 366-2, runrate=7.32
Atkin 10-0-95-0
Siyabonga* 43 (39 balls)
Livera 52 (33 balls)
Last Wicket: Reimann c. Murphy b. Brush 152 (FOW: 285/2)

Ghandi managed to hit his maiden 100 as well. His stamina has prevented him in he past I think. Always seems to make a run a ball 70ish before getting out.
Glad to see he cracked it.

Hahaha Worst in CW...Giggity.

 

[andyc]

Am getting hammered in my league match. To be expected, cause I rested Canning and Tedstone to get their fitness up.

End of Over 23: 164-1, runrate=7.13, reqrunrate=0.37 (173-10)
Erasmus 2-0-5-0
Hurstwick* 59 (48 balls)
Teague 79 (69 balls)
Last Wicket: Brydon Run Out 21 (FOW: 40/1)

Surprised I made 173 tbh. Griffin hit 65*, that gun.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

And that's the end of the match. Central Districts won by 256 runs.
Central Districts	320-1
Darcys XI	64-10

Finally got online (cheers for that update Geg). Decent win. Hodge took 4/7 from 5 overs, Pryde 3/25, Viduka 2/17 and Seneviratne 1/0 from two balls. Earlier Dylan scored 150* and Jephcott 111, with Keane making an unbeaten 48 from 30-odd balls.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Decent ratings for me on a TIE, bowling looking really good, though my top order has to be ridiculously close to resp considering Keane's now at 3 and he (should) be proficient next week.

Central Districts
competent
mediocre
abysmal
respectable

Solid loss on TIE

Magical Ponies 173 (47.2)
Griffin 65* (98), Farmer 27 (42), Sutton 22 (51)

Backyard Sloggers 1/174 (25.4)
Erasmus 0/6 (3), Fernando 0/28 (5)

Magical Ponies Backyard Sloggers
Top Order: competent superb
Middle Order: mediocre respectable
Lower Order: worthless worthless
Seam Bowling: feeble strong
Spin Bowling: respectable proficient
Fielding: woeful woeful

Goes to show the effect that Canning and Tedstone have on my team. And the distinct lack of backup players I have (my 'allrounder' was a comp bat, mediocre bowl). At least I sold out my ground.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Another easy TIE win. Kept them to 9/201, chased it down without losing a wicket, in 32 overs.

Should go up to second on the table today, as the guy who was sitting in second on NRR is playing the top team and looks set to lose.

[PY]

I'm getting stuffed in my game at the moment. 162/4 after 38 overs, with one superb guy in and a couple of resps to come. Looking for 230 if the superb stays in but will probably get 180 all out.

 

[Bobisback]

Slaughtered my oppenent today.
