Archived [18/10/06] : Battrick

[andyc]

My YP, not worth the 15 ITS I gave him:

Greg Dyke (815105)
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, fresh
An attacking player with feeble leadership skills and worthless experience.

Plays For: Magical Ponies
Nationality: Australia
Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 3,955
Wages: £758 p/w
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: competent
Batting: mediocre Concentration: abysmal
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: abysmal
Fielding: worthless

Good name though. Given that he only had 5 batting, he would've been pretty decent had I given him 12 batting and 12 keeping.

If you come first, you get promoted up to Div IV.

That's not guaranteed though is it?

Isn't there a promotion table?

 

[PY]

Yup, you aren't guaranteed promotion though if you win all your games then I'd expect you to be in the playoffs of the promotion tables and thus in with a good chance of promotion.

 

[marc71178]

Aren't you at least in the playoffs if you finish top?

 

[andyc]

If you come first, you either get auto promoted or you get a playoff

 

[AussieDominance]

is it done a ranking system whether you go straight through or go in the playoff

 

[PY]

I believe it's based on your points and then your NRR but it almost always comes down to runrate because so many teams have the same number of points (all wins).

Sriram, man, I saw your playing 'Soupforks' next. Seriously, for CW Pride, you have to kick their *** so hard they can't see straight, you know to avenge the butt-kicking they gave me.

My YP with 16 ITS. A bit undecided here, since my stamina nets have been taken by 18yr old, (str/med/woe) spinner. Opinions?

LOL, I'm not so sure I can do that, looking at their players' BT ratings. Their ratings, however, are nothing special, so I suppose I could PAN and play Abdul Kadir this once. He had better pop to competent stamina this monday.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I don't want to get promoted from Div. 5 until after the next season, but I guess I probably will with the total of 1 non-bot team in my league.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

As few of you probably remember, I 0 ITS pulled a 17 year old with respectable bowling and competent concentration. I considered training him, but a lack of nets forced me to sell him, and someone just bid 250k for him, so I'm quite happy.

10 ITS on bowling:

rindhar Padayachie (816828)
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, fresh
A destructive player with proficient leadership skills and worthless experience.

Plays For: Boggles

Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 4,476
Wages: £717 p/w
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: mediocre
Batting: feeble Concentration: worthless
Bowling: competent Consistency: worthless

Would've been pretty good with 12 on consistency & 10 on stamina but don't need any more trainees.

Ah well, listed!

 

[AussieDominance]

Last season, a friend pulled a respectable bowler with respectable consistency. Popped to proficient first training and due to a training bug sold him for 2.4m 7 weeks later

 

[AussieDominance]

oh crap how good is that!

 

[Jamee999]

[Jamee999]
