55k subsidy and there aren't any financial updates to be run on Saturday...think I'll take that.

Will have earnt a cool £1.4m this week once I get to play my OD game again along with Cup game, transfer and subsidy.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Got a gun YP bowler, not much else doing.

Your face.

That is all.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Useless with the new ball, basically just another spinner.

Lambert would rock your world with the new ball.

 

[Johnners]

Heh, Typical. I forget about Kiely first time around, and get into a bidding war 2nd time. Got him for 1.25m which was donated to the Anchormen fund. Probs overpaid a little for him, but I cbf looking/waiting etc. for another player.

 

[Robertinho]

Haha, thanks Clapo. I also sold Kerr for 4m, hoping Mcinally sells for a similar amount. That would give me around 8-8.5mil to buy a new batsman with.

 

[PY]

Haha this doesn't quite ring true:

06/06/2008 Received £55,000 compensation for cancelled matches.
06/06/2008 Gate receipts for cancelled First Class games removed (£295312).

Riiiggghhht.

Good job the financial updates aren't running on Saturday.

You'll get more or less the same sum back when the FC games are replayed though.

 

[chaminda_00]

Pretty annoyed at the three names of my YP pulls this season. Was hoping for a couple players with gun names for my 2nd XI.

Sarath Cramar
Bandara Lakshman
Katchi Velupillai

Atleast Velupillai Tamil.

Girlfriend's birthday on the same day as my first Cup match. Have a tough decision to make within the next few hours.

Yeah, it was just the wording of the things in the diary, there's no-one who won't have come out of this better off in a financial sense. Results-wise however I can see the annoyance.
