Gleeson went from something like 3k wages to 20k, more than half of what my entire wages for last season were (39k).

A comfortable win by Whenuapai CC, who showed their class, especially with a batting masterclass from the man himself, Jason Duggan. Ranjeet showed promise, scoring at over a run-a-ball, but fell for only 57.

Good game kurt, I look forward to next season's installment

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Sambrook to 14k (though he'll be sold within a few weeks)
Dylan to 20k
Keane to 15k

[andyc]

Wages weren't too bad for me, Canning to 52k, Burger 7, Potters 18, Terry 22.

 

[Robertinho]

Wage increases:

Ranjeet Bhutia - £32,582 p/w (+ £11,382)
Roger Mcmillan - £37,783 p/w (+ £8,503)
Rob Mulholland - £16,886 p/w (+ £7,154)

[PY]

My wages have gone over 200k.

Some massive increases:

Ferrell		4533	10993
Taylor		8099	16501
Abdul kadir	11966	13939
Matthews	9073	13747
Bardle		7821	12803
Moodley		12344	18043
Croft		39626	47749
Harris		22472	32783

How on earth is your wage bill so low Hakon when you get such good ratings?

 

[Robertinho]

Hahaha, nice job with all the players over 10k. Hope you get your money's worth

But yeah, amazing effort by Hakon. 113k! I bet that's not even one of Adam's players...

 

[chaminda_00]

Prsanna Jeithoon - $21,167 -> $41,180
Sasrutha Muralitharan - $14,757 -> $24,632
Jake Lucas - $6,573 -> $10,722
Mukesh Sishayi - $5,805 -> $9,427
Karl Willetts - $7,381 -> $8,681

$85,497 -> $124,456.

Happy with that. Low wages for me btw are due to average secondaries, but they don't seem to have a massive impact on ratings. Due to fact some main players have decent secondaries, as well as the fact I got decent depth. Also as you see below none of my players have better then average fielding.

One pop to the man:

Prsanna Jeithoon - 21 yo, BT Rating=69,539  
LH Batsman, LFM Bowler, proficient batting form, strong bowling form, energetic 
A defensive player with woeful leadership skills and feeble experience. 
Stamina: superb Wicket Keeping: worthless 
Batting: abysmal Concentration: competent 
Bowling: exquisite Consistency: remarkable 
Fielding: [B]respectable[/B]

Jeithoon becomes my best fielder. Should pop in cons next week or the week after.

 

[Robertinho]

Ranjeet Bhutia - 21 yo, BT Rating=74,529
RH Batsman, RF Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic
A steady player with respectable leadership skills and mediocre experience.
Stamina: superb Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: sensational Concentration: wonderful
Bowling: mediocre Consistency: mediocre
Fielding: strong

Rob Mulholland - 20 yo, BT Rating=36,660
LH Batsman, LM Bowler, superb batting form, strong bowling form, invigorated
A cautious player with superb leadership skills and feeble experience.
Stamina: strong Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: worthless Concentration: worthless
Bowling: wonderful Consistency: strong
Fielding: abysmal

Not earth-shattering pops, but undeniable progress. I've started to consider fielding more and more important, so I'm happy with these.

 

[Adamc]

But yeah, amazing effort by Hakon. 113k! I bet that's not even one of Adam's players...

None of them are over 100k itbt. Watkins 97, Downer 94, Whitehorne and Ellis in the eighties.

 

[Robertinho]

Whoops, must've been a typo. Replace one with two

 

[Magrat Garlick]

How on earth is your wage bill so low Hakon when you get such good ratings?

Inefficient training + I stopped at remarkable instead of getting guns.

Going to change in a bit though, need to throw around some weight.

 

[Olwe]

Got a former D1 side kaiser chiefs dropping down to my D3. Tharmi reckons they went overboard in rebuilding and now are barely good enough for D2. Still look a class above most D3 sides I've seen. Looks like the top two is out of reachthis season , but should be a good old fashion battle for a Top 4 spot. With the sides that came up decent and a couple of the sides that finished 4th-6th improving. Really looking forward to those battles in ODs.

Got decent D3 side for my cup match, who have a fair bit more depth then me. I'm going to GFI and see what happens. With the new rules with listing players, im hoping to buy a decent proficient seamer to support Schutte, before my cup match. I've been looking for one since the back end of last season. But most guys have just started too high to bid for. Hopefully the new rule makes these guys cheaper, as players start looking at cheap strong-superb and above players and forget the proficients.

In FC I got demoted to D4 and I'm in a league full of bots. 2nd XI all the way this season.

 

[andruid]

Got a bye in the cup and looking for a friendly this Sunday, Please help (Team name: Swamibapa Leeds CC)

 

[Nate]

As has just been discussed, it looks like you can't play a friendly in place of a bye.
