[Bobisback]

I would have waited, and trained him to strong, then sold, as you would have got quite a bit more.

Also need the nets for;

RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic

Mike, what are Hook's stats like? Might be interested? Though He'll probably be out of my price-range for a while yet

Hmm, guess he's going to go in the £6/£7M mark?Being realistic about it, ATM my limit will be about £5M, but if I waited until the end of the season I'd have more options. Just a little bit scared of playing half the season with a Resp/Feeb B5!

 

[mikeW]

**** has the transfer market inflated that much?

Would it be worth selling him and buying 2 lesser bowlers?

 

[trevor_vayro]

Personally speaking, I'd say that if you have someone that good now, then hold on to them, as the value is going up quicker than you could possibly earn in interest. The odds of being able to buy someone like Hook again are small I'd say.

The core of my team will stay with me for the rest of their careers, (Or at least that's the plan ATM)

Grrening, 22YO, Wond/Strong Bat
Staveley, 23YO, Rem/Sup Bat
Noon, 22YO, Sup/Rem Bat, Sup WK
Akhtar, 17YO, Resp/Med Bat
Bewers, 22YO, Rem/Sup LM
Wilde, 19YO, Sup/Resp RM

The rest will be replaced over time as and when I can afford to.

The thing is you wouldn't get two decent players that are good enough to replace Hook, the best you could get is two superbs really. If your going to sell him your better off buying a similar player who is attacking.

 

[trevor_vayro]

Does anybody know how good a Strong/Exqui spinner would be? Am I right in thinking he'd roughly equate to a Qual/Sup, not taking as many wickets, but going for fewer runs? Or isn't it as straight forward as that?

Not that straight forward, SP is probably best to answer. But usually they preform as good as quality bowlers.

Oh Yes! Battrick my team name is Dr_Brads Team fairly new to the game so dont be surprised if you beat me

[andyc]

Oh ****. Accidentally changed my bowling orders to default, instead of my normal sets of 5. That means Canning doesn't come back until the last forty. Me= stupid.

End of Over 11: 54-1, runrate=4.91
Fernando 6-0-39-0
Grabben* 35 (37 balls)
Ardley 3 (3 balls)
Last Wicket: Brookfield c. Tedstone b. Canning 15 (FOW: 45/1)

 

[Dr_Brad]

Well i was going good at the tenth over mark my oppositions RR was 3.7 and now there RR is 6.34

 

[Matteh]

End of Over 14: 117-0, runrate=8.36
Hay* 69 (43 balls)
Toynbee 48 (41 balls)

Uneven pitch - gun start.

 

[Dr_Brad]

Jesus thats good for the batting team

 

[Matteh]

End of Over 27: 196-2, runrate=7.26
Leonard* 12 (10 balls)
Toynbee 74 (73 balls)

Reckon on this cloudy/humid/uneven pitch i can bowl them out pretty easily.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

End of Over 29: 137-10, runrate=4.72
Seneviratne	4-1-14-4
Hussain*	74 (82 balls)

Too easy so far, should chase it without losing a wicket.

 

[andyc]

Gah, so annoyed at myself. This guy's middle order is pretty weak, but I've got Erasmus and Tedstone (very defensive) bowling through and just keeping it tight rather than taking wickets, whereas I'd normally have Canning (very attacking) bowling now

End of Over 30: 114-4, runrate=3.80
Erasmus 5-1-9-0
Welsby* 13 (28 balls)
Grabben 73 (98 balls)
Last Wicket: Forbes b. Potgieter 3 (FOW: 76/4)

Edit: Never mind. All out 134, Potters taking 5/37, his first five-for.

 

[Robertinho]

Haha, absolutely smashed it in a TIE today:

blkbeauties 59a.o. from 11.5 overs
Ralph 6/18 (5)
Mullis 2/36 (5)
Mulholland 1/1 (0.5)
Payton 1/4 (1)

Anchormen 0/62 from 11.3 overs
Gray 41* (35)
Mcmillan 20* (35)

MotM: Ralph (6/18 & DNB)

Haha, has to be one of the first times I've bundled a decent team out for so little. Mullis doing well on debut. Not that big a ratings jump, but it was on a TIE, with a few players on low PFL (if that counts? I don't know)

Anchormen
Top Order: remarkable
Middle Order: competent
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: superb
Spin Bowling: exceptional
Fielding: woeful
