Ugh. Not out of debt yet. Damn relegations and failure to have a decent youth pull. Not sure what's happened to the transfer market, but perhaps there are fewer human players than in the past.

The youth pulls suck arse. It's not sustainable when you pump money into your academy and then get 1-2 decent youths out of it a season if you are lucky. We are going to possibly end up with more extra cash this season than last, which is good, but we are only a bad season away from running into trouble. To be fair, we always are.

These are my youth pulls this season. I am obviously due a massive 36k rated 16 year old in the last week of the season to make up for all of this ****.

I kept one (Finlayson) - the highest rated - because I need a keeper replacement. I will have to buy two short-term before he is possibly ready though. He won't be great, but he'll probably do at some stage.

How much would this guy fetch on the TM do you think?

Hopefully he will not have a record as Keegan Meth.

Huge win for our affiliate team this week. Got up against the Brew Boys by 2 runs. We have a stronger team than last season, and are currently ranked 2nd in the country, but we have had a tough run at the start of the season, being up against 3 of the 4 potentially top teams off the bat. We are currently sitting at 2/2, and hopefully we will improve on this as we play some of the teams drifting towards the bottom of the table.

My other team is currently on top, having won 4 from 4, so hopefully we have the resources to keep that up for the rest of the season.

The bloke we are playing against in the Pavilion Cup messaged me earlier this week to suggest we play on a slow wicket and they bat first to 'entertain the crowd'. He came 2nd last time I think, so we are going to get hammered.

Instead, I set our orders to bat first and we won the toss, so we are currently 90/7. Hopefully minimising the amount of energy players lose in the process.

A quick game's a good game and all that.
