Ah, Cuss. Finally plays a decent knock for the NT but decides to get out on 98 (in what will more than likely be his last match). Oh well, as long as he racks up century after century in club matches this season...

 

[andyc]

Haha I just sold Womack (respectable bat, abysmal stamina, worthless conc) for 34k. I bought him as a 17 year old for 21k, and he'd had no training.

Thought I'd do an update of this little table, and what it was at the beginning of last season...1 season on, I guess.

Pretty good improvements across the board.

 

[GotSpin]

Sadly, i think i had **** all improvement last season.

 

[andyc]

I've had some great improvements, especially with the arrival of Tedstone and especially Canning, and also the improvement of Griffin (from proficient to superb)

 

[Adamc]

My batting's improved a lot with the arrival of Watkins (remarkable) and Wynand being trained from proficient to superb, Cuss improved a bit as well. Bowling is roughly the same, Louis (remarkable) came in, Badley (superb) went out, and sold another couple of bowlers so I don't have as much depth as I did at the start of the season. Hoping to buy one more bowler ASAP though.

Will do up a table like Rob's a bit later.

Hey Adam, can you get on MSN just quickly?

Season 3 Start

5	Bridge	        21	 6,948  respectable 
6	Gillespie (RFM) 25	14,991  proficient    strong
7	Boeta           20       5,581  respectable
8	Malik (LHS)	19	14,292	mediocre      respectable

10	Male (RM)	21	 6,425	abysmal	      proficient
11	Badley (LF)	19	11,064	abysmal       proficient

Season 4 Start

	[B]Name		Age	BTR	Bat		Bowl	    WK[/B]
1	Cuss		22	32,561	remarkable			
2	Wynand		19	18,501	superb			
3	Watkins (RFM)	20	78,281	remarkable	strong	
4	Ashton		18	10,512	proficient		    proficient
5	Challis		29	5,762	respectable			
6	Malik (LHS)	20	31,291	competent	strong	
7	Boeta		21	6,534	respectable			
8	Sellars		20	4,391	respectable			
9	Louis (RM)	23	27,713	woeful		remarkable	
10	Baptiste (RFM)	26	4,801	abysmal		respectable	
11	Mackie (LHS)	28	3,097	abysmal		competent

Pretty happy with that, still have a few duds (pretty obvious who they are - the <10,000 BTR players), but Mackie will be out of there in a week or two at most and I should be able to replace the rest over the course of the season. All the others are long-term players, though I might have to give Malik another season of one bowling net, not sure. A fair bit of improvement to primaries overall, but the major improvements have been to conc/cons and stamina; BTR increases should give some indication of that. Expecting Cuss to pop soon, I think Watkins is due for a batting and bowling pop in about 5-6 weeks at most.

 

[andyc]

Hey Adam, can you get on MSN just quickly?

Quite frankly, I'm starting to have some serious suspicions about the Rob-Adam relationship.

Howlett   19  8320 abysmal     competent

Just for interest, here's what I'm guessing what my side will be like at the end of season:

[b]Player[/b]     [b]Age[/b]  [b]BTR[/b] [b]Batting[/b]     [b]Bowling[/b]      [b]WK[/b]
Armstrong+ 18 40000 respectable              respectable
Dillon     18 30000 proficient  respectable
Packer     21 15000 strong
Shields    24 10000 proficient
Weaver     20  4475 respectable
Maxwell    22  7500 respectable competent
Y-P        20  ???? mediocre+
Callery    19  4730 mediocre
Pace*      19 12000 feeble      strong
Cahalane   19 12000 woeful     proficient
Howlett    19  8729 abysmal     competent

Now:

[b]Player[/b]     [b]Age[/b]  [b]BTR[/b] [b]Batting[/b]     [b]Bowling[/b]      [b]WK[/b]
Armstrong+ 19 46346 respectable              respectable
Packer     22 18405 proficient
Dillon     19 33675 proficient  respectable
Shields    25  8142 respectable
Weaver     21  4505 respectable
Barton     26  6106 competent
Callery    20  5596 mediocre
Mohamed    27  7221 mediocre   proficient  
Pace*      20 12672 feeble      strong
Cahalane   20 11270 woeful      proficient
Howlett    20  8729 abysmal     competent

Howlett will shortly get replaced by a 18yo respectable bowler. Competent-mediocre YP I just got will take Weaver's place in a couple of months. Might buy in a decent player to make sure I get 4th place, but I doubt it. A few players are short of what I expected because of changing to 4 fitness nets over the tailend of the season.

I guess im cheating a bit, happy with my side but hopefully by the end of this season the lowest in my side is respectable in batting and bowling and all the secondaries are atleast mediocre. Secondaries and Stamina are my biggest problems ATM.

 

[andyc]

League fixtures are up now. My first and third games are at home which is a big plus, as I was planning on expanding my ground. My teams look to be very easy, so it should be a good season for me

 

[superkingdave]

hmm, the team that got relegated have been replaced, so they should be well easy. The three promoted teams (1 guy won his playoff) are decent but i should be better than them. So hoping for top 3 finish.

 

[superkingdave]

my cup fixture has changed to a new team,,so thats a tie and all my best players rested

 

[PY]

I'm going to get killed in my league.

Absolutely murdered, the only team who aren't better than me ratings-wise is the one bot team.

Roll on TIEs all the way.

 

[roseboy64]

After looking at my league, there's a slim chance I may be able to get 4th.
