Nibbs, what did you tell them to do during the change of innings?

*feels a touch of embarrassment as he imagines nibbs ordering his troops to show some tact, ffs*

 

[Adamc]

I'm not doing too badly, then.

(admittedly that was lively fitness, but it's not too crap)

I was playing on TIE with fair fitness, that's my excuse. I should get my best ratings in a few weeks when I GFI, hopefully on lively fitness... hope to get higher than superb top order this time (which is what I got last GFI on moderate fitness).

 

[GotSpin]

Another failed Youth pull, really needed a good one

Goodbye Matthew

That said, my first youth pull with 'feeble' rating in anything

Overall level of fitness drops down to low again...

Looking forward to my 19yo abysmal youth pull.

[Scaly piscine]

Grrrrr, morale, sponsors' confidence and members confidence have been reset to happy. More levelling the playing field from Battrick, albeit because of a bug. Did get a second youth pull, so I get another good laugh:

Had 3 decent youth pulls, 3 duds though

 

[Adamc]

Seems to be a few bugs around at the moment. The fitness reset suits me just fine though. A lot of English teams seem to have been able to pull up to a dozen youths, so I wouldn't recommend bidding on any YP's currently listed on the transfer market, as they may well disappear suddenly. My YP was rubbish.

Friendly tonight against a team that gets quality top order on TIE. Great.

This is pretty unimportant, but I felt like mentioning it: in both my matches against Crouching Tigers (who I played on Friday) we won after 47.2 overs in the second innings.

 

[GotSpin]

Submitted one of my players in the australian database u19s. He wont make it yet but maybe in the future
