Battrick

[nibbs]

pretty quick cup match this morning.

winters taking career best figures of 4/10, whilst allison chipped in with 2/2. bowled them out for 20, and chased it down swiftly

Since I've had fairly ordinary youth pulls, what would you all recommend as a good starting base for a trainee to get off the market at the moment? I'm guessing at least respectable for primaries and competent for secondaries?

Need a batsman and have a bout 3.75 million to spend, wondering what I can get for that.

 

[nibbs]

secondaries don't really matter, provided you give the trainee a fielding net. a combination of 1 batting, 1 fielding and 1 stamina net should be sufficient, just imo

Laffin' hard. Tharmi didn't set a lineup for the NAT match today which has caused the India/SL match to **** itself.

I'm not the U19 manager tbh.

Haha I thought it was the NAT game, last time I checked they weren't running.

Aww, thought it was funny.

 

[chaminda_00]

There was another error, with the games not starting. Hopefully they were fixing up out ****ing morale.

Yeah have just read up on the bugs board, apparently Allan hadn't set them to run on Monday yet. The morale has been brought up but nothing mentioned as of yet.

 

[chaminda_00]

There is always something wrong in this game. Gave up a long time ago, just going with the flow.

Won my first NT match btw.

Just noticed Whitehorne has elite experience. (y) Turns out he's only 28 too, thought he was 29. Hero.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Getting my arse handed to me on a platter in the 20/20...should have played my 2nd team.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Ended up losing by 5...not bad, although only taking 4 off the last over was annoying.

Then got smashed last night by a team with average bowlers who were low on stamina and only scored 125...****ing battrick!

 

[nibbs]

oh dear, languishing in the relegation zone in the bt20s

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

And that's the end of the match. Central Districts won by 164 runs.
Central Districts 211-9
Wernham Hogg C.C. 47-10

I was in trouble early, a big knock from Shaka (90-odd*) and an amazing bowling display from Holt (5/6 from 5 overs) got me through comfortably.

 

[Johnners]

3 relatively comfortable wins in BT20 during the week, mainly because I forgot to rest players though, as all the teams I played were similar/better in terms of ratings.

Easy win in OD today, AO for 28, Harris/Kanelo doing the rest.

Me too, but at a distinctly worse ability level.

 

[Dead Badger]

Got absolutely bum-raped by Geoff Boycott's grandmother today.

In an unrelated incident, I also lost at Battrick to Geoff_Boycotts_Grandmothers XI.

No pops for the first time with Saturday training. Devo.
