Do both teams get gate receipts in playoff games?

Yea, they're split 50/50 I believe.

 

[roseboy64]

Ok. I hope it's a sell out then.

lol at my player pictures, 5 of the black players have blond or ginger hair.

No dual nationalities in my side, though it is quite cosmopolitan.

16 players, 10 English, 1 Australian, 1 NZ, 3 Indian, 1 SL.

How do you see the player pictures? Do you have to be a sponsor?

No dual nationalities here (or at least I don't think so). Must say I was surprised by the fact that only about two of my players weren't Australia. Anyway, I'm not too sad about FC being pushed back. If it were, I've no doubt that I would've struggled. Now it'll give me a good chance to get up my players' stamina and secondaries, and I've got no qualms about getting an extra 15k per week!

 

[Robertinho]

Hmm, I'm sort of pleased about that. I have made no effort to increase the stamina of my players leading up to FC games, though I am annoyed I'll be missing out on the gate receipts. 50k is good, but considering I make 150k from a one day game, it isn't enough.

 

[Adamc]

I assume FC gate receipts will be less than OD receipts, so I think 50k is generous for most teams (considering it's 50k per week, not per fortnight like OD gate receipts).

Someone hurry up and bid on Ashton. Ashton's deadline is eight minutes after the player I want to buy, no doubt someone will bid on Ashton just after the other guy's deadline expires. Edit: got a bid, hooray. Now to see if I can get Fitz Watkins or not.

[ash chaulk]

lol whyd they paste it

could you post my team?? understand if you dnt wanna

 

[andyc]

Hahaha look at Millsy!

 

[GotSpin]

were crap. I sold him for 50k, so that guy should get a nice return on investment.

Has anyone actually seen any dual nationality players? I checked my squad and there aren't any.

i have a few.

I would of thought you would be quite pleased with the dual nationality players as a national coach from a smaller nation, gives you a chance to poach some decent players.

 

[33/3from3.3]

Can some one with membership post my team pictures

 

[GotSpin]

Would be cool if someone could do my team as well Adam still got free membership?

 

[Adamc]

No you don't...you've got players with other nationalities, but no one with dual nationality. Re-reading the announcement, it's not going to be introduced till next season.

I can't post anyone's player pictures as I don't have membership.

Well then i never noticed those guys nationalities...

 

[Robertinho]

No, those pictures are terrible. They all look terrible. What a joke. Thank God I don't have membership.

 

[Adamc]

Poor old Cuss, 10 runs in 3 innings, was a bit mean making him open against England. He'll crack three figures yet, just you wait. Might make him open against Pakistan, since his fitness will be (relatively) sky-high as he keeps getting out cheaply.

Watkins up to 2.29m already, I probably won't be able to go higher than 2.55m unless Ashton attracts a few more bids.

 

[Robertinho]

Adam, I can probably give you an extra 100k if you put someone up for sale. I would expect it back though (haha, Borcich)

 

[Adamc]

If you're online tomorrow night I might take you up on that. At this rate it looks like he'll finish outside my price range though. Just bid 2.39m. The guy bidding against me bought an exceptional batsman for 2.7m just a few weeks ago...where the hell is he getting his money from?! I think I should've put Badley up for sale instead, but I've already sold three of my bowlers this season.

Edit: 2.48m...last bid I can make without further cash (unless I raise my own bid). Guess I better go back to working out a way to afford Matt Conn's wages, though I'm not really interested in him now that FC is delayed.

 

[Robertinho]

Is this 'Hammertime', the guy who bought Nicky Baldwin?
