[The Baconator]

5-wicket cup win today chasing 157 or so. Rested a few, and lost three early wickets. Kumar took us home easily though, with 56. I'll get mauled next week by the team last in the top division.

 

[Agent TBY]

Walk in the park today, a bit annoyed at losing two wickets while chasing 33.

Managed to sell some of my dead weight, couple of med bowlers for 9k each, resp/worthless batsman for 31k, and a med/med bowler who bizarrely went for 50k - wonder if the GMs will 'revise' that amount or if it'll slip under the radar. Had another 4 or 5 players who didn't sell for the 5k I was asking though. Would like to make a YP but my ITS haven't been added, so have to wait till that gets fixed (by which time I'll have 35).

Sell Whitehorne IMO, complete flop.

 

[Adamc]

Well, I did get a BT-mail from Pob yesterday asking if I was interested in a swap. Apparently he's a little concerned about his wage bill, which is over 200k.

Adam could you tell me how much intrest i'll make with 1.1 million in the bank?

No he isn't, he just wants Whitehorne.

(@mike): Depends how many FA's you've got:

1	10450
2	19800
3	28050
4	35200
5	41250
6	46200
7	50050
8	52800
9	54450
10	55000

9 FA's will be most profitable.

[lord_of_darkness]

ive got 15 ITS do i wait till 21 to assign them to the youth player?

 

[superkingdave]

60-1 after 10 chasing 198 to beat Trev's side, was cruising along at 60-0 after 9.5, but Challinor just got out, and its a spinners wicket, in the balance

Trev also has the stupidest named bowler in Battrick - Shaun Bridges m (101754)

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah, there's heaps of players with the 'm' at the end. I remember Adam recomended Bridges m to Trev, despite the stupid name.

Indeed. The random 'm' and the 'John john' as a surname have to be the stupidest names on Battrick. Especially when you look at someone like this

 

[Robertinho]

Hmm.. it's not worth doing a young pull unless you have a ~superb academy in my opinion (35 ITS to a 17yo), but it costs heaps to get there. For new players, the YP system is a bit of a waste if you ask me, rarely get anything decent for what would be 100s of k to upgrade it to superb. I'd just keep saving and figure out what you're going to do.

For new players, a superb academy with 35 ITS guarantees them a mediocre, at worst, player, who would still be able to make their team. And then you have the chance of getting a proficient allrounder.

My keeper from my starting squad was Ted Chambers..

As in, there was a '.' at the end of Chambers

John John john

 

[superkingdave]

managed to get an 8 wicket win against Trev, probably a bit unfair because i forgot to change my order so i had near enough a full strength side.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Adam notches up an Elite spin bowling rating.

How much do a feeble primary and a resp stamina rating add to the wages?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Feeble primary is negligible to 50, resp stamina is roughly 80-150.
