You'll Never Walk Alone
Singh (resp/resp/prof) sold for 1.5mil. Am £900,000 ahead, but without half a team.

Regardless, can keep playing BT. :)

1.5m is an absurd price though, you should be able to buy better or equivalent replacements even with 900k.

There's an exceptional-wonderful bowler going for 4.6m at the moment with bidding ending in just over an hour. :huh:

Bought this guy last night for £75,000:

Danny Turner - 17 yo, BT Rating=7,054
RH Batsman, RF Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, lively
A cautious player with mediocre leadership skills and worthless experience.

Stamina: woeful Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: worthless Concentration: worthless
Bowling: mediocre Consistency: respectable
Fielding: respectable

With three nets spare, I'm planning to put him on 2 bowling and 1 stam - does that sound right? Might have paid slightly over the odds for him but I need an out-and-out fast bowler in my team for variety, and his high consistency and fielding means that I can double net his bowling, rather than give him 1 bowling, 1 fielding.

If I go with 1 stam, 2 bowling, am I right in thinking that he'll be around resp/prof with comp stamina by the end of the season?

Maybe. Dunno why people really care about wages that much, even if you end up with absurd wages the worst case scenario is that you sell your high wage players to someone stupider (see Bulldogs CC).

Just knew it, Armstrong out now. Why even bother having a top order when Battrick makes sure it's all gone in no time against bowlers that aren't helped by conditions?

Yes, i know about the Luddites, but you're clearly missing the point. If I had something to say everytime you had a whinge in a post I'd have triple the post count I do now.

Whingeing about Twenty20 in a Twenty20 World Championships thread isn't relevant because there are already designated threads for whingeing about it, it's like if someone joined CW just to say how crap cricket was it'd be somewhat idiotic. My whingeing is clearly different to that.


Anyways:


End of Over 20: 185-5, runrate=9.25
Spring 4-0-38-2
Lanewalla* 1 (1 balls)
Packer 51 (38 balls)

Last Wicket: Spencer c. Akram b. Spring 0 (FOW: 178/5)


Preece scoring 114 off 66 was obviously the star performer - he was part of another double wicket in the last over. Didn't do much damage when the better bowlers came back at the end unfortunately. I hope I can defend that but I probably won't.

Haha, Scaly will be livid.

Ladbroke Rovers require 21 runs from 5 deliveries to win:

19.2 6 Summers to Hildred
Takes on the hook and it sails high, high over the head of a backward square leg for six.
19.3 2 Summers to Hildred
Intelligent cricket. Just a chip over mid wicket and the batsmen can gather a couple of runs comfortably.
19.4 6 Summers to Hildred
Summers bowls a half-tracker, and appropriately Hildred dispatches it into outer space, anything less would've been an insult to the quality of the delivery.
19.5 4 Summers to Hildred
A bouncer from Summers, but Hildred is onto it smartly, and pulls it away for four of the best.
19.6 6 Summers to Hildred
Even if you couldn't read lips, you were left with no doubt that Summers wasn't happy that Hildred advanced down the pitch and middled it straight back over Summers's head for six!
