another useless academy player, and my academy dropped a level as well, how many weeks until the players age? i have 80 ITS at the moment so i need to decide when to stop spending money on them. This could be the last season i bother with YP's to be honest.

We've got this last league game, then probably 1-2 weeks before the cup fixtures come up, so I'd say about three weeks before they age. I've got 60 ITS myself, looking mainly to sell the YPs I get so I can actually get some cash in the bank.

Looking to conserve ITS for next season. Got 30 so far, So that I can roll out anumber of picks next season. I'm particularly looking for a good allrounder.

 

[chaminda_00]

Crap my academy level is down to abysmal, i might start spending some money on repairs, i got 56 ITS saved up for next season.

Fair performance in my friendly today against some random challenger.

And that's the end of the match. Central Districts won by 214 runs.
Central Districts	273-5
Preston Bullants	59-10

De Beer hit a good hundred and everybody else chipped in, bowlers shared the wickets, though Pryde took 4 and Bennie 3.

was surprised with that win but good to see my batting ratings go up a fair bit.

 

[nibbs]

well, I'm hoping to sign South African u19 player Lovers Wray in the next 10 minutes or so for what will be the 5th largest fee payed for a player in Battrick and a New Zealand record at that.

EDIT: ffs, pretty dismayed atm. I was outbid and no way am i going to bid beyond 3.62mil. oh well, i guess i'll have to wait for another star to be listed

Happy with those ratings, good to see Farmer in the runs again, albeit somewhat slowly.

 

[Adamc]

Haha bad luck nibbs. Should've signed him when he was going for 3.6m before.

Bowled Morpork out for 254 in 46 overs..........and promptly slipped to 45/5.

Having poor morale sucks.

 

[NZTailender]

Lost my team due to bankruptcy. Oh well. At least we went out with a win

Having poor morale sucks.

Playing quality bowlers probably sucks too. Forgot to change my lineup since the match was so early.

Third match in a row Crouch has been stranded, I think. Grounds for promotion.

Never heard of that happening.

 

[NZTailender]

Never heard of that happening.

it happened to me when I first played it because I just suck at the game...

The bank will give you an overdraft facility up to £350,000. If you exceed that level at the time of your countries weekly financial update then the Bank will give you 5 logins to get back below the threshold. If you fail, then you will be declared bankrupt and lose your team! So be very, very careful with debt.

I'd hate it if that happened to me.
