Oh and Summers' BTR went up 17490, which was slightly odd because his bowling form only went up 1.

 

[Mahindinho]

Two consistency pops for me:

John to Wonderful -- now Wonderful/Wonderful LH spin
Verma to Strong -- now Superb/Strong LF

I can't believe Hirst still hasn't popped to Remarkable bowling -- his last two pops have come within a week of Brooker, who's the same age, and it's now been three weeks since Brooker went Wonderful.

Bidding is still in my price range on the all-rounder I'm looking at for 3.5m.

Got stole off me at the last minute when I was in a lecture.

And there's no other half-decent all-rounders anywhere.

 

[Agent TBY]

Friendly needed.

 

[Kweek]

challenge me

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

I'm up for a game.

 

[Scaly piscine]

I'm free for a friendly again, in case any other crappy team wants to take their turn scoring 4 an over against an exquisite-elite bowler.

 

[Dead Badger]

Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!

No pops for another week. I obviously massively misread my trainee purchase for the season, who I bought thinking he'd be a highish mediocre at the following stats and with a wage of £498:

5. Daren Platt - 17 yo, BT Rating=5,358  
LH Batsman, LFM Bowler, strong batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A destructive player with superb leadership skills and worthless experience.
Stamina:	mediocre	Wicket Keeping:	worthless
Batting:	mediocre	Concentration:	respectable
Bowling:	worthless	Consistency:	worthless
Fielding:	feeble

Now after five weeks of 2xbatting he still hasn't popped to competent. Bah. Guess the conc and fielding were boosting the wage more than I thought.

 

[The Baconator]

Nothing here pop-wise.

From what you said everything should be on the brink of popping, but the BTR suggests otherwise. Hmm.

 

[Dead Badger]

Oh, sorry; those were his stats when I bought him. He's on 6,960 now.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Still respectable concentration?

 

[Dead Badger]

Yup. Nothing's popped on him at all.

Actually I think it's four weeks of 2x bat now I check my batman records. Indignance getting the better of me.

Edit: no, five. Can't read dates any more.

Sweeney is coming towards the end of his training regime. One of the better youth pulls to come through the Whenuapai system. Looking back, I can only imagine how he would have turned out had he had a second bowling net, even if only for his first season or two. Anyhow, I'm expecting him to be a Remarkable/Superb within the next few weeks. From there I'm aiming to get his stamina up to proficient before the end of next season, in the hope that he will be able to one day matches and FC cricket, should it ever happen, without any major fuss.

Will be selling Rich later in the week if anybody is interested. Starting price will be £1.75mil, but I am expecting it to go up and beyond 2mil. Would prefer him to sell for enough to enable me to buy a decent batting replacement. At least this move secures the immediate future of one of my only three remaining foundation players, Tony Wheat.

My side now has a massive £8.4mil in the bank. Noone has listed the type of batsmen I want yet so I've been sitting on this for almost a week now. When Rich goes I'll have £10+ mil so I sure hope something comes along feely quickly or I could find my sides season falling to pieces around us. For now I'm aiming to consolidate my position in II.4, hopefully with a push towards promotion next season.

Reasonable chance of double popping next week then. Batting is highly likely to pop at least, concentration will be very soon. If I had to guess I'd say the stamina is a high sublevel and possibly the fielding as well.

 

[Dead Badger]

Ah, excellent. I shall cease beating him forthwith.

Two experience pops for Ricketts and Wigg. That is all.
