Gaurav, you going to accept my friendly?

I don't think you can arrange friendlies for this week this late, if he does accept it it'll be played next week, which means you'll both miss round 1 of the cup.

Beat jamee999 with saunders and ridgewell staring with the bat, and sainsbury with the ball. Suprisingly morgan got his *** kicked, but probably due to his lack of fitness. Ill probably take away ridegwell's keeping net away and givea fitness net to Morgan

Great, for the first time ever, I got no new members. And to make it worse, I got a message and diary entry reminding me of the fact.

 

[GotSpin]

Atleast your members aren't leaving

Since when was that being cynical?

Ooh, 198 not bad, not quite able to match Gillespie's 203* the other day though.

Remarkable batsman on the transfer list. I bid on him but got outbidded in about 30 seconds.

Oh yeah, I put Pollock on the transfer list as well, if anyone feels like parting with 550k that would be great. Need the funds to buy another bowler who's also on the transfer list. My YP that I posted above is listed at 80k.

 

[superkingdave]

bah Webster has a 208

bit slow today, 163-0 after 34 - Webster 92*(95), Magloire 61*(113)

think Magloire needs a move down the order.

 

[superkingdave]

finally he got himself out

The remarkable plays in my division!

Asterix XI 5/340 from 50.0
Wynand 175 (148)
Hera 121 (115)
Mcmillan 4/67 (10.0)

Robertinho Select XI 3/184 from 31.0, RR 5.94, RRR 8.26
Gray 70* (79)
Houlihan 62* (68)
Badley 2/43 (10.0)

Wow. Got absolutely spanked in the bowling department, but Gray is doing as expected. Houlihan, on the other hand - a Comp/Comp - is doing much more than I ever expected Maybe concentration is more important than I previously thought Edit - "Kirton" is playing.. wtf? Must've left Fallon in the team. Looks like I didn't play a full strength side

 

[Scaly piscine]

Might have been quite an interesting finish without that 1-92 off 10.

Oh and I do think concentration/consistency is pretty important going by how the match ratings are altered accordingly.

For instance I get respectable spin when Dillon bowls (competent-strong), but mediocre when Wilkinson bowls (competent-feeble)

 

[PY]

Good game Dave, was pleasantly surprised with the result mate!

Looking at the match ratings from my game it would seem that way as well, got quality spin and strong seam, even though all my seamers have the same or higher primary as my one spinner. At the start of the season (with the same bowling lineup) I was getting spin ratings one level lower than seam, then the same, then a level higher and now two levels higher, seems silly. Haven't noticed a similar improvement in performance so I'm not about to rush off to buy players with high secondaries.

Good game Rob, would've been close if not for Kirton. Happy for Wynand to get his 175, haven't seen him do much since I bought him. Think I'm going to give up on H+F pitches though, my bowlers aren't good enough to do well on them. Slightly surprised by my ratings, thought they'd be about a level worse.

Edit: Oh, and we gave up 25 leg-byes, what the hell.
