Archived [18/10/06] : Battrick

[Adamc]

Check his training history Scaly, if he's had any nets recently it's a good bet he'll be around halfway to strong.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Jus bought this guy for £448,893 seems pretty cheap for a strong bowler these days even though he is 28.
Malcolm Crainey (295824)
LH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, changeable
A defensive player with mediocre leadership skills and abysmal experience.

Plays For: Dagenhamshire
Nationality: England
Age: 28 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 11,738
Wages: £2,494 p/w

Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: abysmal Concentration: competent
Bowling: strong Consistency: feeble
Fielding: mediocre

Yep, I looked at them but once I got the other spinner I didn't bother.

Was gonna check the training (for my new purchase) but they've been stuck in transfer limbo for a while and Battrick is loading so damn slow.

 

[Adamc]

Hmm I was thinking about buying Crainey as well, even though I just sold a spinner with basically identical skills. Think the main reason he went so cheap is that the site's so slow at the moment.

Having a great match so far..

Looks like my game should be over soon, 57-0 after 10 chasing 126 for victory. Minimal fitness hits so I should be able to annihilate Kipper on Sunday.

 

[Agent TBY]

Crap, lost the title today. Didn't count on Soupforks GFI'ing, and I lost by 3 runs.

Heh @ those collapses.

 

[alternative]

ended up losing few quick wickets, but a mighty good score.. probably the highest ever for my team..

End of Over 50: 380-4, runrate=7.60
Lewis 10-0-50-2
Tailor* 2 (2 balls)
Gratton 26 (19 balls)

 

[Agent TBY]

Heh @ those collapses.

Haha, I know. And I would've thought Competent/Proficient and Feeble/Superb batsmen at 6 and 7 could've done better than just a couple of runs between them.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Wow I can actually get into this thread and post...

Anyway turns out my bargain buy was trained this week and from a comparison of BT ratings looks like he's been trained for a while, this is the BT rating of Horne when he popped to proficient bowling:

bat bowl fld/sta form
5-5 *8-3 1 5 - 6-8 6124 Ben Horne 17yo cautious player, Righty RFM, L 2

Here's my buy

Liam Parr (796037)
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A defensive player with strong leadership skills and worthless experience.

Plays For: champs05
Nationality: New Zealand
Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 7,058
Wages: £1,092 p/w

Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: worthless Concentration: abysmal
Bowling: proficient Consistency: woeful
Fielding: mediocre

Obviously his form is better but it doesn't make that much difference. Also Horne has one (bottom) proficient, 3 mediocre attributes and some negligible stats, this is better than one proficient, one mediocre, one feeble and some negligible stats.

So in summary I probably got a near strong 17yo spinner with decent other stats for 260k... still massively short on the batting front tho.

Why didn't I TIE today? I thought this would be a tough game...

They topped my division in my first season. Got promoted to your division last season. Haven't beaten them once.

Another good result for my team inspite of yet again having worse ratings (by a fair bit) - OK, it was only a tie, but I expected (and probably if some people were to be believed deserved) a loss.

Comfortable win, my bowlers didn't do much but the batsmen got the runs easily enough:

Martinique Serpents 274-5
Louis 3-39, Malik 1-31, Monk 1-68

Asterix XI 277-2 (44.3 overs)
Wynand 140* (119), Ashton 72 (101), Cuss 43 (47)

Watkins got another two catches which takes him to 16 for the season, the most for a non-keeper in WI.

Ratings on TIE:

	[B]Martinique Serpents 	Asterix XI[/B]
Top Order: 	proficient 	quality
Middle Order: 	feeble  	proficient
Lower Order: 	abysmal 	feeble
Seam Bowling: 	mediocre 	strong
Spin Bowling: 	useless 	superb
Fielding: 	feeble 	        mediocre

Seam rating is suffering a bit as I'm using a competent as my fifth bowler, he took 0-82. Will have to get around to getting a proper fifth bowler sometime soon, also have to think about a ground expansion, probably to 42k capacity.
