I'd put Lee above Bardle, tbh.

 

[Robertinho]

If you were to rank all the bowlers, it'd probably be something like - Whitehorne, Lovegrove, Moodley, Lee, Bardle, Graham. Then your Canning's, Hook's, Islam's, Watkins', Mills' ( )

 

[Adamc]

Can have Whitehorne for 10m if you like.

 

[Robertinho]

He did specify gun, which would imply wicket-taking ability. Which Whitehorne lacks.

 

[Adamc]

Mmm, he only has 54 in 16 matches this season.

 

[Johnners]

Anyone in need of a friendly this week?

 

[Robertinho]

Yeah, see, not what you'd class as 'gun' really. Guilty of 54 counts of minnow-bashing too...

 

[roseboy64]

Couple pops.

Avery Elsegood - 21 yo, BT Rating=35,544
LH Batsman, LF Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A steady player with mediocre leadership skills and feeble experience.

iirc, watkins and maccammon are both exceptional, but i'm not sure off the top of my head how many weeks it was since they last popped. i'm not sure whether to count islam, his manager has only reportedly posted once twice in the bt forums. but he is exceptional as well

duggan will pop to exceptional batting next week, and he may also pop to wonderful concentration within a week or two. before long he'll have proficient stamina as well. watkins i think still has the advantage by virtue of his superior concentration, but tbh by the end of the season i think that duggan will be better than mccammon. these are interesting times for cricketweb's leading batsmen.

Chanderpaul is aiming for 2,000 runs this season in the league & cup, it requires a double ton against a rubbish team on Friday but he could do it. I think he may already be over the line if you include friendlies but that wouldn't be fun.

Well what most of us thought has been confirmed:

"First Class matches unfortunately will not take place next season, as many suspected. The redevelopment of the whole site in order to improve performance has taken priority this season but development of the FC matches will continue."

 

[The Baconator]

Anyone in need of a friendly this week?

Challenged.

 

[Scaly piscine]

After a bit of effort I'm now able to use BT rating to judge sublevels, for players with superb/superb form - which is most of them. Should help me out in purchasing a good batsmen cheaply... eventually.

 

[AussieDominance]

Well Done Scaly will definetly help in the future as a result of the wages not increasing during the season

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

First-class cancelled yet again .

Anyone want a friendly? Your place or mine.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

The Zebras are having a huge clearout sale for the next three days, including various poor quality Indian middle order batsmen and pace bowlers. Please donate kindly. Any newcomer who wants a competent bat or bowl should take a look.

 

[Adamc]

Hmm, allanfc is becoming quite famous: link

Twenty20 should be interesting (well probably not, I assume it'll just be the equivalent of the last 10 overs played twice), pity Whitehorne won't be able to play.

 

[AussieDominance]

yeah i saw that quite funny.

Adam or anyone take a look at this I post on another site and we think we have suspected a guy of having two teams.

Have a look at a few of the similarities and post them here.

Team Names are

andrew29
mart99

 

[Johnners]

Challenged.

Accepted, should be a comfortable victory for you

Think that link pretty much means we're screwed as Battrickers til the Ashes is over...
