Hmm, my ground expansion is complete, Asterix XI CG (will get around to renaming it one day) now holds 42,000. Hoping for 36k+ in attendance today.

 

[chaminda_00]

Pretty easy win the end, the extra 25k for finishing 2nd will come in handy:

Jaffna Jets - 3/252 (50)

Ferrier 61(79)
Nurse 79(123)
Ellis 64*(71)
Lorensuhewa 0/19 (10) - their gun spinner, he got a 6fer last game against us

Tiny Town 2 CCC - 225 All Out

Pilkington 74(82)
Dowdall 6/40(9.4) - BB & MotM

 

[Bobisback]

How long does it take for a keeping to pop on a single net. And is it age effected.

 

[The Baconator]

Haha, 291 run victory on TIE. Just hope I can beat Allstarz next week and go top, think I'll be GFIing that one.

 

[chaminda_00]

From what i've noticed 2 weeks less the batting or bowling. Also age does affect, a week or two each year.

All primary skills (batting, bowling, keeping) are age effected, in that younger players develop faster. All three primaries develop at the same speed I think, so keeping would take around 8-9 weeks for a 17 year old with one net. If you want some basic training times, go to www.battrickaustralia.com, then Training-->Search Training, etc.

 

[Adamc]

I wouldn't trust that battrickaustralia thing, most of it seems very inaccurate.

e.g.

Training time for an 19 year old trained in Batting	
Number Of Nets	Weeks
1	10
2	9
3	6
4	9
5	3

No all primaries don't develop at the speed. Batting and Bowling are the same but wicket keeping is about 3-4 weeks faster.

Well my lot are 55-0 off 8 chasing 181 for victory against a team with feeble seam rating - should win that. My rivals are struggling a bit, they got bowled out for 153 on a dusty pitch but have the opponents 32-2 after 7... I still have to beat them next week even if they lose but a morale hit would help me in doing that obviously.

 

[cricketboy29]

Won my match pretty handsomely.
Demolizione CC 255-7
Sad Decadent XI 256-2 (47.5 overs)

My top order reshuffle worked excellently with Omardeen(90) and S. Abdul Kadir(111). Sadly I'll be finishing 5th in my league. So i'm wondering whether to lose my play-off and build some stuff next season and then thrust for promotion again. Or just to stick around. :S.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Won by 10 wickets, chased it down in 22.3 overs... Armstrong finished on 99 not out after taking the winning single (67 balls). Packer scored 71* off 69. Horne and Cahalance starred with the ball, Parr was tidy on debut.

Oh and Pace had a good game for a change, 10-2-24-3

 

[Adamc]

Bah opponents are doing well with the bat, was hoping to knock them over cheaply. Attendance of 38,967 though.

 

[PY]

Decent top order and bowling there.

Yeah not bad, I can but dream.

My quality batsman hasn't scored a decent amount of runs in ages due to playing quality+ bowlers and his temperament is destructive.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Opponents 25-4 (Harris 3/14, Tuck 1/8) TIEing appears to have been the correct choice.

 

[PY]

Way to get outbid, nibbs.

Please don't let Leeds United buy Lovers Wray....

That really would take the michael.

Watch out for Goofy Unitized vs Leeds United next week then, Goofy I played this week and ratings can be found above and Leeds got ratings of:
Leeds United
Top Order: quality
Middle Order: feeble
Lower Order: abysmal
Seam Bowling: proficient
Spin Bowling: respectable
Fielding: feeble abysmal

And this game decides the winner of my league and he's got leading bid on this chap. Shall be good fun.

Hmm, they're no better than my side - dunno what you're moaning about really...

Anyway in the interesting other game in my league the side I want to win is 141-7 chasing 154 for victory.

How many of your league are bots & what are your ratings?

Oh, and good irony on the moaning thing. I see what you've done there.

None, I've never had any bots in a division I was in - it's not like I'd gone and joined the wrong country so I could get a soft starting division with bots in it.

Anyway at full strength my ratings are superb/competent/woeful batting, proficient seam/strong spin and competent fielding.

Oooooh burn.

Grow up.

You started it.


















Yes that was irony and my league rivals lost so their ratings will take a hit when I play them next week for the league title.
