I'm in div II, which isn't that high considering I started in div III. With a lot of luck I'll be in div I next season. And Andy, it's fitness training.

 

[Robertinho]

Language.

Apologies.

Though if you don't mind me asking, what do you have against the term "Finding dodgy piece of shoe"?

 

[rolande]

im in div 5 and am in 3rd coz theres 5 bots in our league. also how high do you have to place to get into a higher division

 

[Adamc]

You need to come first to have any chance of promoting.

 

[rolande]

so its first or no promotion is that what u r saying

 

[Adamc]

That is indeed what I am saying.

 

[rolande]

5 pops in the training update, 3 concentration, 1 consistency and 1 stamina. Pretty good, tho I knew most of them were coming anyway. I'm expecting my best bat Packer to pop in batting over the next month, has had 9 training sessions of batting already - although they are 20, so could be another 5 sessions if they started at the bottom of the level.

 

[Adamc]

Decent week for secondaries for me, Cuss popped in concentration, Badley in consistency and Malik in both. Malik should pop in both batting and bowling within the next few weeks. Got rid of the bowling coach on my 19yo (Pollock) and replaced him with another fitness coach, as Badley and Malik are going to continue to be useless until I get their stamina to around mediocre (both at woeful).

For some reason none of my players went up or down in BTR apart from the ones being trained - did this happen to anyone else? (Edit: just saw the news announcement.)

Hmm the team I *was* going to play on Thursday has just been kicked and I'm playing a new team, probably a bad thing since the other team had woeful bowling and feeble top order.

 

[rolande]

is 5 bowlers a bad move? on a cracked pitch with 2 proficient fast bowlers and a competant, and also a strong 19 spinner and a 18 year old proficient. my batting is bogus now that i sold my best player mark levy who is respectable batting and competant bowling and i have a proficient youth pull holding down at no.1 who is 17 and yes i tried him out for the u19

 

[andyc]

No pops that I can notice. I must be due for some soon.

Well you need 5 bowlers, so pick your best 5 bowlers. I'd probably drop the aggression on the batters tho so they don't throw wickets away and leave your tailenders exposed.

hmmm, had my best rating yet against Jamee's side on monday. wheat and fry made 100s, while hamshaw, lennon and duggan all score 50s in a rampant display.

  	Whenuapai CC 	
Top Order: 	strong 	
Middle Order: 	proficient 	
Lower Order: 	woeful 	
Seam Bowling: 	strong 	
Spin Bowling: 	competent 	
Fielding: 	mediocre

having compared these with asterix's i'm dam confident about the future tbh...

Nice nibbs. What's your fitness level atm? If it's around moderate or so then you're doing very well.

Second ODI on now, against India. Got sent in on a green deck and lost an early wicket, but the runs are coming along reasonably well, 38-1 after 7 overs.

Not doing badly at the moment, 134/3 off 25 is pretty reasonable I reckon.

Need to avoid losing wickets especially Summer who's on 76*!

 

[Adamc]

Reasonably happy with proceedings at the mo, 185-3 after 35. We should be able to manage 100 off the last 15 overs. Cuss finally getting a move on, and Summers 99*...

Should add that we're playing on TIE, though India probably are as well. Summers brings up the first WI century with a four.

 

[Adamc]

Just took a bad turn with Summers (114) and Cuss (62) out in the 41st over. Still 240-5 after 42 overs, with one allrounder to come, should manage 300 if they play sensibly.

Now Julian goes...bah.

Thankfully added a fair few more runs before Battrick Collapse(TM) kicked in...
