[Jamee999]

Wages: £9,101 p/w for Bardle.

Scaly how high up quality is that?:

Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: worthless Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: quality Consistency: strong
Fielding: superb

Hmm I forgot about wage updates. Will have a look now, though I forgot to record their previous wages so I'll have to estimate.

Whitehorne: £32,000 -> £44,878 - not too bad, about what I was expecting.
Watkins: £17,000 -> £27,477 - pretty big hike, but again not more than I was expecting.
Ashton: £2,100 -> £5,960
Malik - £3,600 -> £5,201

Plus a few other minor increases. Total salaries next season will be about 110k, ouch. Oh well, good time to buy players though since you can estimate their sublevels accurately.

BTW Jamee, a remarkable primary is about £8,500, so Bardle is pretty close. His fielding, consistency and stamina adds up to about £1,000-£1,500 or something (Scaly will give you a better estimate).

Gah of course! Wages...

Ouch.. Canning up to 9,730, Tedstone to 2,790, and Parr to 2,304. Hasn't yet hit the finance sheets, as I'm apparantly still paying the same salaries as I was last week.

 

[Jamee999]

Bardle is more than half of my wage bill

 

[Scaly piscine]

I don't have very good estimates for strong/superb secondaries, but I figure the range for Bardle's secondaries would be roughly 950-1600.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Gah, could've given me another few weeks with my 17 year olds.

 

[andyc]

Gah, could've given me another few weeks with my 17 year olds.

But yeah, bit harsh to do it just before training as well.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Armstrong is up to 11,833
Packer 2,671
Nile 3,241
Obrien 1,038
Dillon 4,578
Lisbie 3,910
Barton 710

Pace 4854
Cahalane 1552
Parr 2157
Mohamed 1246
Callery 483
Howlett 644
Street 555
Appleton 1064

Total: 43964, up from 30887.

Not that bad a hike really.

BTW:

William Ardley (57571)

An attacking player with abysmal leadership skills and abysmal experience.

Plays For: port vale
Nationality: England
Age: 23 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 523,762
Wages: £223,783 p/w

Team has turned bot though, presumably because of bankruptcy.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Hope he gets put up for auction, haha

 

[Scaly piscine]

That wage is ridiculous, you'd be basically paying 4.5 million a season if they weren't in an international squad.

 

[superkingdave]

wages gone up as expected, several of my squad have obviously been hitting the sun beds over the close season

 

[Adamc]

Looks like all the players have reverted back to their original ages/wages now. Strange.

 

[Adamc]

If you look on the transfer market for the most recent 17yo's and click on their player pages, they show up as 16yo. (e.g. http://www.battrick.org/nl/playerDetails.asp?playerID=917126)

Listed Monk for 840k a couple of hours ago and got a bid already. Bought him a while ago for 700k, not sure why I bought him in the first place as he's pretty useless (10-0-100-0 today).

[Scaly piscine]

Heh @ 10-0-100-0 and your collapse... trademark Battrick absurdity.

 

[Jamee999]

And that's the end of the match. Scaly Piscine CC won by 12 runs.
Scaly Piscine CC 320-2
Jamees 999ers 308-5

Was quite close in the end.

By the way, what's Singh like? He played great today.

Brijesh Singh - 20 yo, BT Rating=21,714

A destructive player with mediocre leadership skills and feeble experience.
Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: competent Concentration: proficient
Bowling: competent Consistency: superb
Fielding: woeful

Fights well above his weight to be honest.

 

[cricketboy29]

So the players aged and then regressed? That's a bit sad...

 

[The Baconator]

Hmmm, bowled a fellow Pakistani table-topper who won their play-off out for 89 and then knocked the runs off easily. Looks like their first-choice side as well.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

WI friendlies five hours delayed.

Edit: and my post-age-update 17-year-old wicket-keeper hasn't been made 16, so I suppose he'll be 18 after the new update.
