Decent enough. Both of these two will continue to get training for a while, Bardle indefinitely and Moodley until he hits exceptional so should be exceptional-wonderful by the time he's done.

In other news, my exquisite-superb is now on abysmal-worthless form and has lost 20k of his BT rating....which sucks.

Pullers dipped under 20k today, I was gutted. He bowls 1000 overs every FC match on old withering legs and this is how he's rewarded?

He's batting at an unfamiliar 8 tomorrow too. A long batting line up for us. Would be hilarious if he hit a century there, just to make the other team go "ffs end it already".

Hmm seems you lucky there, he should be useless-useless. Have I mention that Jeithoon > Croft.

No pops, excepting a couple next week.

I think he popped in fielding this week, don't really know for sure. Should pop next week in cons. I want to play him on Sunday as a batsmen, but his PFLs get worse ever week and haven't played him in a match all season.

 

[Dead Badger]

Just the one, but a pleasing one; my first 50k player, too.

Kepler first player to 15k BTR. I'm going to put Caldwell's stamina net onto him and rotate them everytime they pop.

 

[headhunter]

No pops this week although Fordham becomes out 1st player to pass the 15K BTR.

Kepler should be a pretty gun player and the rock batsman in your side by the time he's 21.

 

[nibbs]

No pops, but more importantly Jason Duggan gets out of worthless batting form and moves up to woeful. **** YEAH!

 

[bugssy]

battrick games not working any one else having these problems.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Yeah, he's shaping up nicely, and he's been fantastic all season for me, performing well against some really good bowlers.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

battrick games not working any one else having these problems.

I can see your game.

You're 0/8 after 6.5 overs. Solid start.

 

[Robertinho]

Doing solidly in my FC game. I've now decided to try and promote in both forms... which will be interesting. We bowled first and...

Harbourtown 88ao (35.4 overs)
Cleaver 43*
Ralph 4/18
Mcmillan 4/30

[cameeel]

End of Over 49 (3 runs, 1b). Kipper XI: 156-3, RR=3.18
Lewington	12-3-37-2
Brown*	37 (139 balls)
Dove	100 (135 balls)

Going well at the moment, after being 3/21 earlier. But I really need to improve my team; Dove, Brown and Davies are the only real top class players I've got at the moment, and my bowling attack in particular is terrible.

 

[Robertinho]

Cameeel, Harbourtown is in your OD league, isn't he? Any good?

 

[Johnners]

Bowled first, dismissed them for 4 runs. Verhoeven 11-7-4-5 & Groves 11-11-0-5. I'll have to reset my declaration target tonight, it's a home game and most certainly won't go for 3 days unless i bat all day tomorrow.

 

[oz_fan]

Doing alright in my match bowling first.

End of Over 76 (2 runs). nails noobies: 297-4, runrate=3.91
Brooks 10-1-51-0
Wilson* 4 (10 balls)
Ball 92 (143 balls)

 

[Robertinho]

It's official. Bhutia is an idiot. With a declaration target of 360, this is how he went about getting his double ton:

End of Over 61 (3 runs). Anchormen: 362-0, runrate=5.93
Lead by 274 runs. (Harbourtown 88-10)
Howlett	9-0-57-0
Gray*	157 (177 balls)
Bhutia	198 (191 balls)
60.6 	.	Howlett to Bhutia
 	 	Late lift, outside the off, went for the shot, beats the bat.
60.5 	1	Howlett to Gray
 	 	Smacked back down the pitch. Howlett takes some pace off it so it's just a single.
60.4 	1	Howlett to Bhutia
 	 	Edged but just short of the keeper, and they'll get through for a single. Good running.
60.3 	.	Howlett to Bhutia
 	 	Bhutia takes a huge swipe at that delivery, misses by a mile and pirouettes gracefully down to the ground. You can wear pads, gloves and boxes, but there's no equipment to protect your pride!
60.2 	.	Howlett to Bhutia
 	 	Angled to Tšoeu at backward point, who collects the ball and aims a rather pointless hurl at the stumps.
60.1 	1	Howlett to Gray
 	 	Milked away for a single. Moo.

End of Over 60 (5 runs). Anchormen: 359-0, runrate=5.98
Lead by 271 runs. (Harbourtown 88-10)
Tšoeu	9-0-58-0
Gray*	155 (175 balls)
Bhutia	197 (187 balls)
59.6 	1	Tšoeu to Gray
 	 	Down leg, played out to deep backward square region.
59.5 	.	Tšoeu to Gray
 	 	Straight at mid wicket who throws in sharply. No run.
59.4 	2	Tšoeu to Gray
 	 	Beautifully placed shot. Neatly tickled off the pads and into the gap between square leg and mid wicket for two.
59.3 	1	Tšoeu to Bhutia
 	 	Bhutia uses his feet to perfection and swats it down to deep mid on for a comfortable single.
59.2 	.	Tšoeu to Bhutia
 	 	Late lift, outside the off, went for the shot, beats the bat.
59.1 	1	Tšoeu to Gray
 	 	Angled in, managed to stroke it out into the covers for an easy single.

End of Over 59 (2 runs). Anchormen: 354-0, runrate=6.00
Lead by 266 runs. (Harbourtown 88-10)
Howlett	8-0-54-0
Gray*	151 (171 balls)
Bhutia	196 (185 balls)
58.6 	1	Howlett to Gray
 	 	Dropped into the leg side by Gray. Mccloud is slow off the mark at midwicket and the batsmen steal a quick single! Good running but equally poor fielding.
58.5 	1	Howlett to Bhutia
 	 	How did he manage that? Bhutia has picked out the fielder. Anywhere else and it would have been four.
58.4 	.	Howlett to Bhutia
 	 	Outside off and left alone. That delivery had a nice shape to it.
58.3 	.	Howlett to Bhutia
 	 	That was a lovely delivery there by Howlett.
58.2 	.	Howlett to Bhutia
 	 	Well forward, stroked to cover, Thatcher fielding.
58.1 	.	Howlett to Bhutia
 	 	Howlett is on the money, but so is Bhutia...blocking it firmly back to the bowler.

End of Over 58 (6 runs). Anchormen: 352-0, runrate=6.07
Lead by 264 runs. (Harbourtown 88-10)
Tšoeu	8-0-53-0
Bhutia*	195 (180 balls)
Gray	150 (170 balls)
