I'll probably test him out in a friendly next week. Also if one of my bats fail i'll pur him in the first XI. Expected better though.

I'm almost crying right now. No ITS used... that would've been prof/prof.

And that's the end of the match. Magical Ponies won by 8 wickets.
Central Districts	229-5
Magical Ponies	231-2

Oh well, huge anti-climax. Who plays on a Hard & Fast anyway?

Haven't done this for a while:

Three months ago:

Batting - 71
Bowling - 45
Fielding - 42
Secondaries - 121
Stamina - 52

Now:

Batting - 83 (+12)
Bowling - 48 (+3)
Fielding - 51 (+9)
Secondaries - 136 (+15)
Stamina - 61 (+9)

Quite large increases in all areas, mainly due to a few big transfers I made a couple of months ago. Bowling is the main worry for me at the moment, will try to get a new trainee at the start of next season.

My bowelrs aren't good enough to deserve a pitch that helps them. Although they did alright today, I guess having all of them (except Canning) on very defensive did the trick, as your batsmen just seemed to struggle to score (apart from Munroe). Thanks for the game though.

Central Districts 5/229
De beer 90 (146), Munroe 41 (29), Herd 41 (59)
Erasmus 3/43, Canning 1/37, Dunne 1/71

Magical Ponies 2/231 (41.1)
Griffin 112 (118), Farmer 50 (69), Kilkenny 32* (47)
Sambrook 1/32 (8.1), Bennie 1/51 (10)

Very similar ratings there. My top order went up from my league game on Friday, which I guess was just due to fitness as the team's still recovering from my GFI a few weeks ago.

Can you tell me how to do that?

 

[Adamc]

Just add up the ratings of your first XI in the relevant stats, worthless=1, abysmal=2...competent=6, respectable=7 etc.

Batting - use everyone in your first XI
Bowling - use your five bowlers
Fielding - first XI
Secondaries - total conc + cons of first XI
Stamina - first XI

 

[andyc]

Does fielding include your keeper's fielding or keeping ability? I think it was just his fielding, but I'm not sure...

 

[Adamc]

I used fielding, although it makes more sense to use his keeping instead of fielding so may as well do that. Makes mine:

Batting - 83
Bowling - 48
Fielding/Keeping - 58
Secondaries - 136
Stamina - 61

 

[andyc]

Batting: 59 (+7)
Bowling: 35 (+5)
Fielding: 30 (+1)
Secondaries: 93 (+11)
Stamina: 56 (+11)

Am using the team that played DCYE, as that's the strongest team I can field.

Batting: 62 (+3)
Bowling: 38 (+3)
Fielding: 33 (+3)
Secondaries: 106 (+13)
Stamina: 55 (-1)

Hmmm... not the best there really. Secondaries improved a lot, which is good, but I'm not too happy about stamina actually going down, especially with FC coming in next season. I imagine that's because I've brought in Kilkenny as a batsman, who's got woeful stamina but is near proficient bat. I guess that because 5 of my nets are used on Canning, I won't be getting a large increase in primaries team-wise, so +3 is alright.

Edit: Just saw your post Adam, which would then make mine read:

Batting: 62 (+3)
Bowling: 38 (+3)
Fielding: 39 (+3)
Secondaries: 106 (+13)
Stamina: 55 (-1)

Anyone know what the basic wage is for a wonderful and exceptional?

 

[Adamc]

Roughly 13k and 20k respectively (for primaries).

 

[GotSpin]

Ok thanks

What about Quality/remarkable concentration?

 

[Adamc]

Probably an extra £1,000-£2,500, not really sure.
