Archived [18/10/06] : Battrick

Doesn't seem like you'll be making much. Since your ground is at the default size you won't make more than 30-40k in gate receipts once you're out of the cup (on average per week), so you're struggling to break even, let alone save up enough to buy a decent bowler. I think you'd be better off investing in the youth academy. I might be missing something obvious because it seems strange that you're not able to break even with such low expenses.

No subsidy in there?

That said with a average of what 2 days cricket at home a week he's hardly going to coin it in on a small ground.

 

[AussieDominance]

yeah i guess might choose to expand my ground then

 

[marc71178]

i think it just means the league cricket is the main focus in battrick

Well yes, because otherwise there'd only be 8 or so managers involved in the game.

 

[marc71178]

yeah i guess might choose to expand my ground then

With what money though?!

 

[Adamc]

Yeah, but the subsidy will be removed again next week I assume, so I can't see him making a profit of more than a few thousand. Even if he did get 60k for a FC match, that would only amount to a net profit of 30k or so - over 10-12 weeks = 300-360k, which will buy you pretty much nothing on the market at the moment.

 

[AussieDominance]

selling players might have to be an option then

 

[AussieDominance]

possibly i might be saving 15 weeks or ill i get enough ITS for 1 YP early next year so maybe like 450,000

 

[Johnners]

Anyone remember some of the their scores before it was delayed?

I'm assuming your meaning FC game scores???

I was suprised to be 1/91 from 30overs against a team i was expecting to obliterate me... hopefully it wasn't a flash in the pan though, and that i may see a few suprises in FC games, otherwise things look pretty bleak for me this season

 

[ash chaulk]

ok i just looked at match orders for FC we can use 11 bowlers?

Yea that's the sort of thing I was after, just to see some run rates and such.

For those missing a Battrick match today WI decided to supply your needs:

Total (all out; 34.3 overs)           202

 

[Johnners]

Yeah my run-rate sat around 2.75 for most of the innings until a few fours in the last 2 overs before cancellation got it up to 3... in any case i don't think we'll see more than 300 scored in a day all that often unless the contest is extremely onesided.

Just bought this guy for £371k:

Ranjeet Bhutia (930112)
RH Batsman, RF Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, fresh
A steady player with respectable leadership skills and worthless experience.

Plays For: Anchormen
Nationality: India
Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 6,620
Wages: £1,127 p/w

Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: respectable Concentration: woeful
Bowling: mediocre Consistency: worthless
Fielding: worthless

Very pleased about his stamina - means I can wack him on 2 batting & 1 fielding instead of the usual 2 batting & 1 fitness.

The way I see it, resp stamina could be adding about £70, med bowling £150, so he is probably around +70-80% to prof.

I think if these 17yos were U19 WC ones, this guy could even be considered a prospect.

What do people think I should give him? 3 nets - 2 of them batting - what should the other go to: fitness or fielding?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Actually respectable secondaries add £80-150, med bowling £50-150. So they could only be about half way to proficient batting, but that would mean their stamina and bowling would be practically proficent and competent respectively.

 

[AussieDominance]

Lord you have an hour and a bit to re bid on my player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AussieDominance]

forgot to add he is only at 7,000

An attacking player with superb leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: worthless

I Need to sell 1 of these guys for a bitta cash, and keep the other for training

Is Ludlow's Superb Leadership, and Mediocre Stamina, Concentration & Consitency worth more than Appleyard's Mediocre Stamina and Competant Concentration?? I'm leaning towards keeping Ludlow, but wouldn't mind a few more experience opinions...please
