Would read the above link to get a rough idea about the game.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Read it all, but was hoping for insider tips.

First tip, Pull from Ireland.

Have you got your team yet?


Passailaigue captained the WI U19 yesterday, top scored for WI with 64 though WI lost

Read it all, but was hoping for insider tips.

Focus mainly on youth players to start off with, unless you get a really good senior squad. But most are pretty crap these days. Don't spend too much money at the start, as it take a lot of time to start to build cash. Probably best to not buy any players for half a season alteast.

It one of those games where it takes a while to build a half decent side and you might struggle at start depending on the league your in.

Just played a friendly match today with my youth side. I rested my two SL squad members to see what ratings I will get once I promote those two this week to seniors. Only dropped 2k without those in the team. Looks like I might be able to keep top spot in SL at youth level to the end of season. Pretty decent ratings considering my top 5 18yos are not playing.

Down to four now, Oh well, It was a good three-four weeks at the top..


Had a pretty awesome friendly today. Forget to set orders though. They got 3/367 with two guys having a 318 run stand

Then I fell to 2/5 after two overs. Was 5/265 after 40 needing 103 to win. Won by 4 wickets with four balls left!

29 Jun 2008 Dion Moysey Batting poor ordinary
29 Jun 2008 Brian Emmins Bowling ordinary average
29 Jun 2008 Charles Martyn Endurance dreadful poor

My youth team is so dire.

 

[Bobisback]

Everyone should pull Sri Lankan. Need some star youth players. Only have 2 star players that will be coming through atm, one a 16yr old capable other a 17yr old reliable, who i am currently in love with. Already playing in the firxt XI.

 

[NZTailender]

If one of my Dutch players doesn't get selected anytime soon I'll start pulling SL.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Will obv. be pulling Sri Lankan from now on.

Crap YP but:


30 Jun 2008 Robert Duncan Experience dreadful poor
30 Jun 2008 Denis Crawford Batting average reasonable
30 Jun 2008 Leonidas Morgan Technique ordinary average
30 Jun 2008 Ashley Fitzpatrick Batting average reasonable
30 Jun 2008 Colin Taylor Bowling capable reliable

30 Jun 2008 Sidney Ward Bowling reasonable capable
30 Jun 2008 Kasee Starr Bowling reasonable capable
30 Jun 2008 Geoffrey Mason Technique ordinary average
30 Jun 2008 Percival Weeks Technique reasonable capable


So basically 3 of my best 4 bowlers popped in bowling and the other popped in technique. Nice.

Robert Duncan - first jock to ever achieve slightly more than annoying the English.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

ord-ord 17yo YP. Pretty crap but I'll keep him anyway.

Few good pops though, 18yo to reliable bowling, 16yo to average bowl, 18yo keeper-bat to reasonable batting and an endurance pop on some other ****.
