On TIE:

Top: Respectable
Middle: Mediocre
Lower: Absymal
Seam: Mediocre
Spin: Mediorcre

I going to play GFI next round and im hoping my seam and spin go up to competent. My three strong 19yo are about six weeks away from superb, so i should get proficient top order then. I would probably struggle in Div 4 this season, if i was in Aus or Eng. But i think i would be competitive by next season.

Interesting, im 2nd in division 5 and these are the ratings i got on Tie yesterday.

Victoria Panthers
Top Order:respectable
Middle Order:feeble
Lower Order: abysmal
Seam Bowling: feeble
Spin Bowling: respectable
Fielding: woeful

I feel sorry for you guys in Australia and England, if i get my top order up to proficient i could probably get up to Div 2. If you guys get it up there you'll just be average div 4 side. Mind you the gap between Div 3 and Div 2 is crazy, if you don't have superb you will struggle to stay up.

If he went for more than 20k, I'd be surprised. Unlucky though, should have listened to your own advice

 

[AussieDominance]

yeah i no just trying to get the max price out of him!

What's my advice?

 

[Adamc]

hey adam, i've got big match next weekend, a match that could very well decide the II.4 title, so if you could avoid using lee, that'd be swell.

OK, if you like. I've got 10 bowlers to choose from so it's no big deal.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha, poor form Collins. Pick your best XI

The Australian BT Cup is over, crazy scenes at a picturesque Dark Laird of Etive CG.

And that's the end of the match. Dark Laird of Etive won by 101 runs.
Dark Laird of Etive 133-10
Newcastle Knights 32-10

Andrew Apple, former Aus U-19 bowler, took 7-3-7-8 to brush aside Newcastle's phenomenal top order (3 wonderful+ bats)

Dark Laird of Etive  	Newcastle Knights
Top Order: 	exceptional 	phenomenal
Middle Order: 	proficient 	respectable
Lower Order: 	abysmal 	abysmal
Seam Bowling: 	miraculous 	sensational

Anyone know exactly what quality goes up to, I know it's likely to be around 5200, but nothing more than that.

Hey Rob, if you kept Bhutia on two batting nets till his 21yo, how high do you think he would go to. Just wondeing for Jeithoon.

 

[Robertinho]

Till he turns 21? Hmm... probably exquisite batting, exceptional conc, remarkable fielding. Superb stamina of course.

Probably around there. But that is a long, long way off, over a year in real terms, and some of the training times may be off.
