I really feel for you mate.....

 

[GotSpin]

My first spinner trainee as well

 

[andyc]

Thoughts on my net situation? Am very much torn in terms of who to give nets to, and if I should sell anyone or not. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

[cricketboy29]

Is it really worth training 19 year olds? Personally I'd spare a few nets for Doherty, Farmer and Norris. They're pretty young, and have already got a good starting point. Of course that's just my opinion, but as good as all the people your training are already, maybe you could stop training and maybe sell one of them and get a really good 17r old trainee?

137 k damn i really need a spinner

IMO, anyone under 20 is trainable, without a whole lot of difference in training times.

Edit: Okay, have decided to list Doherty for 200k.

ARGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!. Goddamn you HING

I hope you aren't going to throw one that I'm going to bid for another guy you're bidding on.

Orders are OK now, cup orders submitted before 1700 BST yesterday are fine.

I was just wondering, what do you reckon happens when a bowler reaches the end of his spell. Does it go to the highest priority bowler who's not bowling at the moment? And if so, won't gun bowler who might be priority one get bowled all the time and get killed?

 

[andyc]

Wow, that FC payment going really hurts:
Current Balance: £27,326
Projected balance at next Update: £-40,890

Wages have gone up by 10k, as well (20,344-->31,209). Good thing I'm selling Doherty.

Shouldn't take too much attendance to make that 50k back in a FC match I don't think.

3,333 people standing will get you 16.666k a day. So minimum of 3.333k a day attendance will cause the 50k to be retrieved or beaten.

Don't do this to me, PY. it's not fair....

 

[andyc]

The sledging boards say the match order bug is fixed

Make sure to get the cup orders in.

 

[PY]

Rob makes a sneaky approach on a player I'm bidding on, foiled him though.

And there's a three way war for the all-rounder.

 

[cricketboy29]

man...thats depressing...

 

[PY]

Unlucky mate, I actually didn't want him after a second though but by then, it was too late.

Good player but for the poor stamina.

Give him 10 fitness nets

 

[PY]

He'll get one bat, one bowl until one of his primaries pops then if it's his bowling that has popped then all's well and he'll lose the batting net and get a fitness net.

If his batting pops, then he'll lose the batting net anyway and I'll bump it onto bowling to get it popped then one bowl, one fitness again.

 

[Adamc]

Prices are unbelievable at the moment, anyone half decent ends up going for 1m. There was a 23yo proficient/remarkable bowler with mediocre stamina who I was vaguely interested in - he was going for 900k which I thought was a bit much but decided I may as well bid for him. He ended up going for 1.7m. Pinning my hopes on a good YP then as I don't think I'm going to get anyone off the market.
