Wow, Lalit Modi really is poisoning every aspect of cricket.

 

[nibbs]

Disagree, i have 3 nets on a 20yr old right now, and 2 on a 21yr old.

i'm talking 1 primary tbh. and what i mean, is that while 1 player will progress faster on multiple primary nets, the team could develop faster, if these primary nets were distributed more evenly amongst the team...might look as ***y to start with, but it pays off in the end

So freaking tempted, though I need to save money and don't have enough nets for him.

 

[nibbs]

thats a nice player, earlobe. more or what i want this time next season. you should get 1mil easily.

 

[EARLOBE]

I just wish I had enough free nets for him. I used 11 stam, 12 bowl, 12 cons. The batting was just a nice little bonus.

 

[Mahindinho]

Strewth -- he's pretty much exactly what I'm after at the moment! If I don't get one of the two I'm tracking (both of which are around the £2M mark), I'll definitely be bidding on your trainee.

I need a seriously good opening bowler, and I need one now! Or at least in 3-4 seasons' time...

From the developers' blog (bolding mine):

We have made a slight change to the engine over the close season that will help to minimise collapses in the last few overs. Sure, there will still be some - lets face it, it happens in real life as well, and we play far far more games in here than you will see in real life, and between teams that are really badly matched in strength as well - but there should be a lot less than before. This has been implemented for all games now.

Been so long since the match engine changed I thought it was carved on stone tablets. Wonder if batsmen will work with the tail properly now?

Haha time to become a farm side. All the nets will now be on three guys; Jeithoon, Cramer and Samarasekera.

Means Sishayi will be finished at exceptional/wonderful, but that should be good enough hopefully.

Not sure whether to go all out on Samarasekera or just start with 4 primary nets and build when Jeithoon's finished.

Bot-bashing in my first cup match, eased to an eight wicket win. Was a home game as well, not complaining at all.

Salaries jumped up a fair bit btw, from 178k to 232k. Terry now at 55, Potgieter 49, Burger 31. Nothing too bad though, still comfortable financially.
