Archived [18/10/06] : Battrick

[nibbs]

Just 1 pop at todays training. Aww yeah. So Waddell should hit wonderful batting early next season, which is pretty swell. When he reaches wonderful batting, I'll need to decide whether or not to train him up to exceptional or whether it'll be time to start developing a new batsmen to continue adding depth to my lineup. When I reflect on the 790k i spent on him as a 18yo strong bat, it does appear to me as money well spent. i will also be looking at getting his stamina up to competent and then respectable in the coming months. just depends how much longer other players take to reach their stamina pops. By the end of the season I will have 10 players with competent+ stamina, which is braggable imo.

By the end of the season I will have 10 players with competent+ stamina, which is braggable imo.

Hmm even I have 6 with competent+ stamina at the moment, a further 2 on mediocre (one who'll definitely get stamina training) and one getting trained who's at least feeble + 2 weeks. These are all first teamers although I'll probably sell one or two of them.

Havent been on for a while so will give a quick update of whats been happening with D.C.C

Fridays league game against One Winged Angels:
Won the toss and bowled
O.W.A 10/151
Unsworth 2/17
Causon 2/30
Lovegrove 3/6

D.C.C 1/153
Wight 62*(78)
Woodward 72(101)
Mansfield 17*(11)

strong
competent
abysmal
superb
strong
feeble

MOTM: Woodward

Saturdays YP was crap and quickly fired

Sundays Cup game against Maduro CC
Won the toss and bowled
M.C.C 10/246
Unsworth 4/48
Causon 3/39
Lovers 3/40

Good effort by Unsworth and Causon there on a dusty pitch

D.C.C 8/248
Tucker 114*(96)
Wight 34(63)
Mansfield 35(55)
MOTM: Unsworth

Ratings the same as the league except for superb spin. This is now my best cup run and hopefully it will continue with a home game against the Chillibums, should work in my favour as i will change the pitch to dusty seeing as they have a useless spin rating.

I gather you brought that guy, how much did he cost you?

 

[Adamc]

Cost 520k, which was too much really but I'd been looking for a new trainee for ages and couldn't be bothered waiting any longer as I was wasting nets otherwise. Knew he was close to proficient though, and wanted someone whose fielding I could train in case it actually does make a difference.

[chaminda_00]

Sold my 21 yo competent/mediorce/mediorce batsmen for 150k and i only brought him for 75k. He was selling for 85k with five minutes left and them someone upped their bid to 150k. They must have really wanted him or they are very dumb, i think a bit of both. Should have 750k in the bank after my league match this week, which is by far the most i have ever had.

Probably going to buy one more player before the season is finished, a comptetent plus bowler with respectable staminia. I might till i get 1mil in the bank, so i can go for a respectable bowler, so he is more then just a FC specialist. I likely going to sell my former captain who is a mediorce batsmen. Once i've sold him and brought in this player, i think i will have the right balance to my squad.

Also is anyone looking for a friendly my ground is 15k, but im happy to travel.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Jamee, challenge me if you still want that friendly. Don't care where, though your ground would be more money.
