No ITS. On the market, so bid up

 

[Adamc]

We should make a list of all these collapses. Here's two, anyway...

Flat (blkbeauties vs Anchormen) - [matchid=592176]
Hard and Fast (UFC CCC vs Lancashire) - [matchid=611842]

Edit - haha, looks like NorCricket has it in the bag, their lead insurmountable at this stage:

[size=2] Team  	Pld  	Won  	Tie  	Lost  	Points  	Net RR
1. 	NorCricket United 	9 	9 	0 	0 	36 	12.97
2. 	Doobie Bombers 	6 	5 	0 	1 	20 	6.87
3. 	Borderliners 	6 	4 	0 	2 	16 	4.03
4. 	Saint Barth Blondes 	6 	3 	0 	3 	12 	2.80
5. 	Pebble Street CC 	7 	2 	0 	5 	8 	-1.62
6. 	Asterix XI 	6 	2 	0 	4 	8 	-4.86
7. 	Rovers Town 	8 	1 	0 	7 	4 	-9.33
8. 	Knuckleheads 	6 	1 	0 	5 	4 	-10.87[/size]

Strange table, hope it gets fixed soon. Even without the extra games NorCricket are pretty far ahead though, think I'll settle for 3rd or 4th and try to do well in the cup. Said the same thing last season but the results seem pretty unpredictable now so it's unlikely I'll be able to go unbeaten from here like last season. Not sure whether to TIE or PAN tomorrow, my ratings on PAN:

Asterix XI
Top Order: wonderful
Middle Order: respectable
Lower Order: woeful
Seam Bowling: proficient
Spin Bowling: exquisite
Fielding: feeble

and my opponent's ratings from last two matches:

Mud poodles
Top Order: quality
Middle Order: feeble
Lower Order: abysmal
Seam Bowling: strong
Spin Bowling: respectable
Fielding: feeble

Leaning towards TIE, but I can easily see them beating me. Gate receipts will be decent though.

Err...just checked my diary:

Received £8,926 wages contribution as Cuss played for his national team.

He hasn't been in the NT for two seasons.

 

[Robertinho]

Hahaha, shocking.

 

[AussieDominance]

why would you complain clearly a bonus hehe

 

[Robertinho]

Anyone up for a friendly? Late, indeed... so make it snappy.

 

[Xuhaib]

I want to know whats happening, I made repairs to my youth academy to upgrade it from proficent to strong but my academy remained at proficent and when I checked the finances the cost had been deducted for it

 

[nibbs]

Err...just checked my diary:

That's fairly common, the repairs don't give you a full level increase, they give you something like 0.75 of a level, so if the condition was at say proficient + 0.05 it would just go up to proficient + 0.80 - ie both are proficient.

I'm free for a friendly in case anyone wants one by the way.

[chaminda_00]

OMG i've been eyeing this guy off for 2/3 days and i wake up early so i can have my final bid on and his price has gone up by 150k in 10 hours. Stupid transfer market when a competent/mediorce all rounder is worth 183k:

Im kind of still thinking about bidding on him. I made 120k profit on my last two sales and i made 96k in gate receipts last game. So i would make the money back pretty soon. Also he would be perfect for what i want, a specialist FC bat (likely to open) and can slot into No. 8 for my OD side or 9 when i want to rest on of my bowlers against the crap teams.

He's crap Tharmi, don't touch him.

 

[chaminda_00]

He's crap Tharmi, don't touch him.

lol this is crazy he going for 320k now, i saw a proficent bat for 600k on the market with better secondaries and respectable stamina. There not many competent bats with decent stamina going around, so i might have to go to plan B and look of respectable plus bat with good stamina. There still going to be expensive but more useful.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Most of that guy's stamina is superfluous because he's crap in the first place, so he's hardly going to be in long enough for it to come into play - except for against really awful teams.

[AussieDominance]

looking at your first team why do you have so many mediocres? Wouldnt it make sense to replace them?
