I was expecting NZ to beat Australia since there's not really that much difference between the two sides and NZ have managed PFL's far better than Australia, I wasn't expecting SL to run England so close though. Good decision from the manager to pick a flat pitch as they probably would've been bowled out on most surfaces, but it looks like England will just make it.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Nine-wicket win with two balls to spare for England.

Wouldn't like to face Marvin Bullivant, that's for sure. 1,769 runs in 28 ODIs at an average of 98.27.

 

[PY]

And he's averaging almost 100 an innings if you don't include his not outs which he has 33 of. So he averages 280+ with 4,000 runs.

That's insane.

 

[Adamc]

It's silly though, as there are dozens of batsmen better than Bullivant. The main reason he does so well at international level is because he's in a good team so he permanently benefits from high morale and fitness.

 

[33/3from3.3]

Moly!!! 280?

I agree, most of England's batsmen have insanely high averages in ODIs regardless of wage.

 

[Robertinho]

Australia lose to New Zealand.

 

[superkingdave]

one of my players have dual English - Sri Lankan nationality, he's called William Keane, very Sri Lankan

Would've been dynamite with 12 on batting as I did last week.

He might fit into my side but I don't have much room to train him to be honest.

 

[marc71178]

Is concentration the more batting related secondary or is consistency?

 

[PY]

Concentration by my reckoning.

Ben Horne (792092)

A cautious player with abysmal leadership skills and worthless experience.

Plays For: Scaly Piscine CC
Nationality: England

Stamina: mediocre (5) Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: mediocre (11) Concentration: mediocre (4)
Bowling: respectable (11) Consistency: woeful (4)
Fielding: worthless

I was basically trying to maximise profit here, the worst I would get is med-woe/med-woe with woeful stamina and I've got lots of chances of getting something better - any innate skill except something like woeful w/keeping is useful. Turned out a lot better than the bare minimum as you can see and they seem to be high up the sublevels (range is ~ 720 to 1300). Leaves me in a bit of a quandary...

used maximum its, considering my last 6 consecutive yp have been all worthless, im pretty ****ed off, specially as my academy dropped to strong with the finance update and i paid 20k to upgrade it

 

[Scaly piscine]

There's something wrong when a player like that isn't dual nationality.

Looking on the positive side he's got a completely bizarre (and probably unique) name...
