[nooga99]

Was just about to come and ask for a friendly here to but was challenged by Jonesy's Aristo Aristocrats.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

BTW Hakon, due to Louis being sold later today, Cuss will be opening the bowling tomorrow.

*goes to set Tuck to open the batting*

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Anyone up for a friendly?

 

[Adamc]

*goes to set Tuck to open the batting*

Nah don't, I'm not using Cuss just for the sake of it, I'm using him because when Louis leaves he will be my fifth best bowler.

 

[marc71178]

its confusing

Not really - when you fire them you have to pay them compensation.

QUESTION:

Do we think that the stronger OD teams will also be the strongest FC teams or will some not so strong OD teams be really good FC teams?

Only the ones with all competent secondaries...

Only the ones with all competent secondaries...

What's wrong with setting competant secondaries as a benchmark?

Get over it, when purchasing players i look for atleast competant secondaries so there is no need to continually mock him

 

[marc71178]

PS What do people reckon about changing some of the thread names now that we have our own forum? Just thinking for new people who join up, it isn't that obvious where to start. Suggestions for name? And does it need stickying?

I don't think we need any sticky threads to be honest - not enough threads in here to need it IMO.

 

[marc71178]

will he have any one left?

He's got to have 14 players after all being listed hasn't he?

 

[marc71178]

What's wrong with setting competant secondaries as a benchmark?

There is nothing wrong with it - but you certainly don't need every player to have them to be competitive in FC.

And why not? Atleast for the important secondary anyway

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Well, if you've got a quality batsman with med conc, I think he'll do fine.

In any case, I had a crap YP and he was promptly fired.

Adam, I was looking at the 250K to 500K bracket for allrounders, you're probabaly looking at the much higher end of the structure.

Probably gonna finish 5th, tempted to lose playoff and just recoup in div 4. Since div III is getting way too irritating for me, what with losing nearly every match.
