Sponsors and membership confidence reset.

Now regretting enlarging my ground.

Bugger, me too.

10 FA's would give you 80k interest with 1.6m. I mean if you're planning to spend in excess of 1.6m on one player then by all means keep 2.3m in the bank, but if you're not then there's no logical reason to do so.

Ahh right i see.

Yeah i want to buy a remarkable batsmen when one comes available, so im going to keep that amount in the bank but spend anything more than that.

 

[GotSpin]

Bugger, me too.

This reset can only mean good things for my attendance and members joining.

Im hoping that the draw is in my favour and i dont play the team that came second last year for a while, preferable 5 or 6 weeks :P

Does anybody know when the draw will be up, as this will affect all my plans.

 

[cricketboy29]

Bugger, me too.

Yep, I'm feeling the same...

Woohoo Lovegrove got a call up to the under 19 team and started off with 10-4-0-31.

 

[andyc]

He took 31 wickets?

 

[33/3from3.3]

And bowled 10 overs without conceding a run

 

[Robertinho]

And bowled 10 overs without conceding a run

Yet still only managed a mere 4 maidens...

 

[andyc]

Woah... Got Spin won the toss and elected to bat against me, and then this happened at the end

47.6 	W	Giles to Abbey
 	 	Well, that ball really swung, catching Abbey off his guard. LBW!
47.5 	W	Giles to Sainsbury
 	 	Drives on the up... oh my goodness, he's hit it straight to mid off! Sainsbury has just thrown his wicket away and doesn't he know it too!
47.4 	W	Giles to Boardman
 	 	He could have walked for that one! So plumb in front that the umpire was embarrassed for him. That's out!
47.3 	W	Giles to Lambert
 	 	Goes for the big shot but doesn't connect well. Good catch by Dunne running round from square leg.

I've had a hattrick before, but never a double. Those four were the last four wickets, and Rob ended with 246. Giles with four, Erasmus and Dunne both with three, while Saunders hit 96 off 84.

I've got to say, I have no idea how to read that thing.

 

[Robertinho]

The leftmost column is the amount of PA's you should have for the amount of money on in the far left. The middle is interest rates provided.

 

[andyc]

Ohh okay. So does that mean if you have less than the minimum amount (£157,895), you shouldn't have any at all? Time to get firing

 

[Robertinho]

Yes, yes it does.

Just wrapped it up against Rob. We were both resting a lot of players (him more so), which would be why I won.

[Cloete]

Can someone get me an SS of Swagat Moodley?

Well done Andy. Poor showing with only saunders (as usual) the standing out in my team. Ridgewell has left a rather large hole in my team which is quite noticable

 

[andyc]

Oo cup matches are scheduled now. Look like I should have a fairly easy game.

By the way, will personal fitness levels get reset?

 

[33/3from3.3]

Mine isnt
Maybe tommorow
