[NZTailender]

My players for next year, with their current summaries and talents if relevant. Batting order not necessarily set in stone.

                        Batting    Bowl/WK   Talent
J. Bruyns        18     average
A. van de Velde  19 LWS average    reliable  opener
C. de Groot      19     reasonable	
N. Jongerius     19     capable
R. Sikkema       19     reasonable
C. Fangman       19     average              spin specialist
L. ter Horst+    17     ordinary   ordinary  boundary hitter
N. van der Laan  19 RWS dreadful   capable   slower ball
P. van Hasselt   19 RFS dreadful   capable
V. Bril          19 LF  dreadful   average   swing
C. Murphy        19 LF  dreadful   average   yorker

Should be an okay side come the end of next season.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Think all mine bar Kerr were home-grown. Fielding is pretty decent, they're ordinary average or just over (didn't train it, just my pulls tend to have good fielding).

 

[Jakester1288]

Bowled them out for 101, and got it in 6.3 overs.

Yeah mine are all home grown bar Murphy (an imported Scot). My fielding is pretty horrendous all over the board, tbh.

Edit: it's not too bad, actually. Most of them are poor with only one dreadful and a few ordinary.

 

[andruid]

My youth team for next season, current summaries (some are in rather nice form)

                        Batting    Bowling    Keeping
Warden Scott     19 RFS average    reasonable
Thomas Duncan    18     average
John Dorey       19     reliable	
Wayne Kerr       19     capable
Coll Findlay     19     reasonable
Peter Cook       19     reasonable            capable
Finlay Marshall  18     average
Albert Muir      18 LFM ordinary   average
Henry Williamson 18 LF  ordinary   average
Malcolm McKenzie 19 RFS ordinary   reasonable
Brent Healy      19 RFM poor       capable

Think they'll crack whatever the best youth ratings Bob got.

pretty sub-standard team 18 yo average!

[EARLOBE]

I spent my money on 17yo's instead If I had enough left over I'd beat it the next two seasons, but I don't.

There's my youth team for next year. Finished 6th in 2.2 this year and will be very lucky to survive next season with this squad. It will be a year of transition as my current 16 year olds will be excellent by the time they're 18.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Got quite a bit over 130k with McFarlane today, has an experience pop due too.

Not bad.

 

[NZTailender]

Anyone for a Thursday on friendly? (i.e. Pavilion members...)

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah am up for it.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm I've got a reliable summary 20yo spinner with no bid yet with half an hour to go... wtf.

 

[NZTailender]

Was looking at the TM today for the first time in a while. Seems there are a lot of 20yos with decent abilities going for basically nothing. I think at the end of this season when 9 of my youths turn 20 I'll wait a week or two until I list them.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Will have to start selling them mid-season I think, when people buy 19yos to win youth competitions (except that it'll make sweet FA difference with FTP's random bull**** factor).

 

[andruid]

Listed an accom-reli batsman for 0 and only one bidder

Also the first Kenya team to go to a World Cup without a single player of mine and they are kicking a*** and taking names They are not supposed to be able to live without me!

[Athlai]

First youth game and we set 281 from 40 overs.

They are 269-4 after 39, 13 to win.

39.1 4 ter Horst to Sheehan : A full toss from ter Horst is given what it deserves. Sheehan slams the ball down the pitch and the umpire hops out of its way to the boundary.

39.2 1 W ter Horst to Sheehan : A huge mixup there and Crane is well short of his ground.
J. Crane run out (D. Robinson) 0 (0b 0x4 0x6) SR:

8 needed from 4 balls

39.3 1 ter Horst to Dunstan : ter Horst nips it back from off stump, pinning Dunstan to his crease. The bat comes down in the nick of time and Sheehan is quick to call for the run.

7 from 3

39.4 3 ter Horst to Sheehan : A well placed French cut results in 3 runs.

4 from 2

39.5 2 ter Horst to Dunstan : That's well bowled by ter Horst but an even better shot by Dunstan. Dasgupta dives to his right and gets a hand on it but not enough to stop it. It rolls into the deep for 2 runs. Good cricket all round.

2 from 1, single to tie

39.6 W ter Horst to Dunstan : [runout] Bit full from ter Horst and Dunstan drives and sets off, Johnson dives and stops well before turning and throwing... WHAT A RUNOUT! Direct hit from Johnson has Dunstan short by a foot after diving, collecting and throwing down in one movement... superb!
A. Dunstan run out (R. Johnson) 3 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR:100.00

The Avengers won by 1 run

****ing eh

 

[Number 11]

Nice win. I never was able to get into this game as i did with Battrick. Admittedly it is more realistic and a better allround game. Just couldn't get into the game. What time of season is it? Might have another try.

 

[Scaly piscine]

it's the 1st week of the season.
