This will be my third season.

 

[AussieDominance]

it usually takes about 2 or 3 seasons to get going doesn't it

 

[andyc]

how long have you guys been playing?

This is my third season.

 

[AussieDominance]

have you been training anyone for the whole 3 years?

Well, each season only lasts about 15 weeks, but no, I haven't been. As it is I've only got two or three players left from my original team, and only one of them (Sutton, my number four) is a regular. I do regret not training him from the start, though.

2 and a half. Started middle of season two.

Only two original players in my squad now though. I have trained some youth pulls for a long time though

I think the longest I've been training anyone straight would be Griffin, who's got about a season and a half from when I pulled him as an 18 year old in my first season. Canning was my first YP last season, so I'm assuming that was four weeks into the season, so he's had just over a season now.

Saunders i think was my second or third youth pull. He has been trained every week until now, since he just popped in batting im taking his net away

 

[nibbs]

been playing since the beginning. i have 7 originals still playing for me on a regular basis

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

dontcloseyoureyes what ratings do you usually have?

                Drunk XI  	Central Districts
Top Order: 	mediocre 	competent
Middle Order: 	feeble 	        feeble
Lower Order: 	abysmal 	abysmal
Seam Bowling: 	mediocre 	mediocre
Spin Bowling: 	mediocre 	mediocre
Fielding: 	feeble  	feeble

That was from my most recent game. It was a friendly, so it was a PAN. I have no idea what they'd be like on a GFI. I usually only get mediocre top order when I TIE. When Hodge is at full PFL my seam bowling is competent.

 

[Xuhaib]

Just started 2 weeks back and in desperate need of some help for this game.

My team name is Xen Cobras and im playing in Sri Lanka.

 

[andyc]

Post your squad here, Xuhaib. Just go to the squad page and copy it all here so we can see what kind of team you have.

 

[chaminda_00]

Want a friendly in a week or two?

yeah we'll do one next week after i get smashed by noorga this week.

Looking at the other Respectable bowlers, his the cheapest around, so its not really that surprising IMO. You probably could have put him down as 150K and someone might have bid for him, if they really wanted a respectable bowler, but didn;t have much money.

 

[marc71178]

Oh right - this bloke has never got near my team so I went with £100k as a gamble (paid £35k for him 2 months ago.)

 

[AussieDominance]

yeh i have had a few like that!

 

[PY]

I've been playing since 14/10/05 so one full season and two halves.

And my team isn't as good as it should be.

 

[GotSpin]

The market prices are disgusting. 500k+ for a proficient.
