Gone another round in the BT20 Cup, drawn another sub-par Div IV side who I should beat comfortably. Now that the next game is after my playoff I can stop resting players and go full strength until I get knocked out.

Hey could I get a valuation on this guy? I've asked around and have been told $1.2mil to $2.0mil, is he really worth it.

He just poped in Batting, next update he'll pop in Wicketkeeping.

Sorry if this isn't in the right place.

 

[nibbs]

IMO, yes. well worth it. slap him on 1-2 batting nets, 1 stam and 1 keeping net and watch him take off

 

[Bobisback]

IMO, yes. well worth it. slap him on 2 bat, 1 stam and 1 fielding net and watch him take off

2 bat 1 stam 1 keeping. Seeing he clearly said he would pop in keeping soon.

 

[99*]

Oh, should have told you what nets he's on:

3 bat, 1 stam, 1 field, 2 keeping. (As requested by a U-19 Scout)

Thanks for that nibbs/bobisback.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Would be very surprised if he ever played u-19's.

 

[99*]

Would be very surprised if he ever played u-19's.

tbh so would I. But I guess training him like this will make him worth a whole lot more later on.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Also taking up two nets un-neccesarily IMO. Only needs one keeping and 2 batting if you don't think he'll play u-19's. Nets are very valuable, too valuable to waste.

 

[Bobisback]

It is possible that he is the best keeper prospect in NZ, but i wouldnt waste that many nets on him.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Surely someone's got someone better? I suppose it's possible, might ask the NZ NT manager about it.

That being said, I've got 5 nets on Hyde at the moment (3 bowl, 1 stam, 1 field), but it's only because I've got nowhere for them to go until I get a keeper trainee in.

 

[chaminda_00]

LOL got the side I'm playing in the playoff in the BT20 Cup tommorow. Will PAN and see how we go.

Won my BT20 match against the side I'm playing in playoff. They rested a few players so not sure what to make of it. Won quite comfortably though with Murali staring with 2/15(4) and 54*(37). Playing a side that I knocked out of cup earlier this season, Unabrow Rangers (former D1 side).

Not sure about other keepers, I'd think he'd be a back-up anyway. Have no-one else to put nets on atm anyway. Once I get another batsman I'll prob' put the extra net on him.

 

[chaminda_00]

Fancy a friendly on Sunday? Been dying to match up against your side since you've been gobbing off.

Not big on friendlies tbh. But with two likely GFI coming up in the next two days. My players will be knacked come Sunday. So next week is more likely. Play Hak IMO.

Doubt he will even be back up tbh, needs to be superb batsmen atleast and a lot higher in keeping, probably superb as well.

 

[trevor_vayro]

Well chuffed with Cash's transfer, going for over half a mill with three quarters of an hour still to go.

Please could someone give Steven Carlton a bump-start with a serious bid. I'd imagine he'd go for around £3m eventually, so you could bid up to £2m I'd say, without any real danger of actually getting him, unless of course you want him!

It'd be much appreciated, cheers, Trev

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Trev, I just bid 1.6m.

 

[trevor_vayro]

Mork, you're a star! Had a right paddy this morning, as I came up £200K short on a Prof/Sup Rem/Med allrounder, because people were pissing around with bids of £30/40K on Carlton.

Personally think this listing tax is a bit of a joke, A, because it's a major inconvenience, and B, I can't really see how it's supposed to be an anti-inflationary measure.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yea the listing tax was badly thought out, but that's somewhat typical of BT really. Battrick is still trying to do everything to avoid using ideas in FTP as well as clamping down on any talk of FTP because it basically pisses all over BT and then some.
