Same, not bothering to put any investment in the academy though.

 

[chaminda_00]

Same with me, its going to be a while till i can train someone else, so i haven't bothered with investments the last two seasons.

 

[Adamc]

Still think it's worth it personally, even if you don't intend to train. I had pretty much nothing in the way of YPs for the first four seasons, but got three decent ones this season and sold them for a combined total of about 1.4m. You really only need one good YP every few seasons for the academy to pay for itself.

 

[chaminda_00]

If i had a couple mil in the bank, i would still invest for profit. But for us small sides, moiney is tight, so in some ways its better to save. But each to their own, i can see why you would want to keep the investments going regardless of whether you were going to use the players.

Friendly v Mike 50/50 so far:
End of Over 14: 70-2, runrate=5.00

Battrick stuffed and it wont show the batsmen or bowlers or teams.

 

[mikeW]

Happy with the start, hopefully Hook and Hogg come back and do some damage.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Another day, another **** up. Hooray for Battrick.

 

[mikeW]

Hook just got hit for 6 by a worthlees/Feeble bat

I ended up getting 234 very defendable now i got Bertos out early

W That was a textbook forward defensive shot by Bertos in every way except that he missed the ball which cannoned onto his pad. Plumb

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Dwyer batted first and made 245, with Maughan making 96. He lost 6/6 at the end, which is dire. Currently 0-80 after 17, with Dylan on 53* and Jephcott struggling to 25* from 41.

 

[chaminda_00]

Beat Mike pretty easierly in the end somehow. Bowled him out for 80 odd, but the scorecard wont come up. Anyone else having these problems with BT.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah everyone is.

Smitty rates my squad, look out.

For my best YP ever, it's a little underwhelming, really. How far off a respectable bat was/is he?

He's pretty close. The respectable fielding would add a bit, but he'd still be up there.

 

[RoMojo]

Thanks for that! Kieren is less impressed though, because he's now got batting practice tomorrow morning. Sucks to be him.

 

[PY]

Sekani takes 5/19 and Craddock takes 3 wickets for 0 runs in the cup and I win by 320 runs.

Very dull.

Still getting this stupid error when trying to see the end result

ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bcd'
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.

/nl/matchSubs.asp, line 518

One of the guys in my league was watching and said that i had won or was close to winning, which if true is a good result on TIE against a fellow top of the table div III side.

Also, anyone got the link to the stadium sizer?. Cheers.

 

[PY]

Gah this bug is freaking annoying.

The game best not be lost because it couldn't have gone any better.

 

[AussieDominance]

Yeah im getting that error as well.
