Do you guys know if captaincy help increase experience faster? Or if anything else helps increase it?

 

[Adamc]

Don't think so. Playing in NT matches helps it increase dramatically, Cuss had five experience pops while he was there. There's a theory that milestones (e.g. centuries, 5w hauls etc.) make it increase faster, dunno if it's true or not.

Yea making it even more tough for new guys like us who have onlt 200,000 in their bank accounts.

To be fair, there are still players suitable for smaller teams available at lower prices.

Lucky man nibbs, can't believe you got 1.9m for him. There are definitely some bargains at the higher end of the market (>3m) if you're patient enough though.

if my calculations are correct i'll only need 3 economists to get max interest with my £3.29 million currently sitting in my bank account, although can someone confirm this. i might try and enjoy making a profit straight after the updates before emptying the bank for some superstar. gotta get my club into the best possible position for next season. hopefully i'll have around 3.5 by the end of the season enabling me to add some depth to the squad on top of the bowler i wanna buy. a proficient bowler and batsmen would be nice

for the remainder of the season the loss of holmes won't affect my sides chances in the league. we should win the remaining games feely comfortable. however, i'm greatly concerned at what this may cause my cw bt cup defence. my side are 2 time finalists and i'm determined to make that 3 time finalists this season. but i'd like to be able to pick up a quality, but preferably remarkable bowler before the conclusion of this season. with this purchase my bowling attack should start to come more inline with the top sides within new zealand. needless to say, we'll be competitive in division II.

Yea making it even more tough for new guys like us who have onlt 200,000 in their bank accounts.

i think the problem with the transfer market at the moment is that there is a severe lack of supply with excess demand. the best way that newbs can counter this i guess is identify 3, maybe 4, players with great potential and train train train. this is something that college dropouts had great success with imo. in time, as the battrick population grows, prices should gradually ease. but for now be prepared to pay a fair bit

 

[nooga99]

Ive set my lineup for tomorrow's game on TIE for the moment, not sure if i will come back and change it to normal though. I know that i should probably beat them easily but should i make sure of it and play on normal?

 

[nooga99]

Something that i thought would be a bit of fun and interesting would be to try and figure out how much we think our squads are worth

Would anyone with membership be nice enough to tell me if Griffin's still on the list for best averages (in Australia, at least)? I'd seen a list in the Sledging forums that had him at number 10 a while ago, just wondering if he's still there.

Damn, falling behind. Hasn't had much chance to score recently. I've considered choosing to bat first if I win the toss, but I don't want him to get out. Thanks for posting it though.

 

[brenoevo]

this is something that college dropouts had great success with imo.

Ye when i first started my starting squad wasnt very gifted, so I put all my resources into training up a few key player, 2 batsmen then a bowling allrounder. I have had alot of success with this and now i look set to promote to Div 3 if everything falls into plan. My strategy has worked for OD matches so far but im doubting how well im goin to go in FC matches as they will probably need more than a few key players in ur side.

 

[AussieDominance]

i didnt do that at the start as i knew first class was coming in so i have taken a more squad orientated approach training more players

 

[nooga99]

Decided to go with the TIE for todays game and it seems to have been a good idea. Bowled them out for 157 and am currently 0-5

 

[ash chaulk]

i TIE knew i wasnt going to win and lost as expected by 7 wickets i only made 84

 

[brenoevo]

Won again today by 82 runs. Only his psycho almost 100000 btr batsmen made it competitive. I won the toss and elected to bat on there hard and fast pitch.
