Retirements!!

Obviously I'm thankful for this. The prospect of dropping just 2 out of my twelve remaining players would have been tough. I would probably have kept two of the four.

What you get as rookies is the luck of the draw. The Qld side for next year will be very different as I may keep the two that I got earlier in the year plus maybe three out of this lot. Previous to this season my rookies have been awful so it all evens out in the end.

As for the money side of it, you shouldn't get extra cash for retired players. It doesn't happen normally. (Big assumption on new system for next season being implemented)

Its very easy to say.We have lost our 2 best players and if they would have been there we would not have put them in draft.Now its same we have got 2 worst players who no one will take in trade so its same as trading with 14 instead of 16.Now how it evens out.

Its very easy to say.Players do actually retire and its generally a part of sport. It can be emotional, but you do get over it.

Keep moaning, but I can't see it changing anything - Under the old system you would've been trading with 14 anyway, so you've not lost out with these rookies!

Retirements were done randomly so it was the same process for EVERYONE.
Rookies were issued randomly, so it was the same process for EVERYONE.

Stop being a douche bag. You have one of the best sides in WCC, and its not like you've lost much. I would kill to have just half the players you've got. Its not the end of the world Adtiya. You'll team has hardly lost a thing.

Not even close to sarcasm
I'm a fan of people saying things in short ways, and that was bloody short and to the point.

Seriously Aditya if there was no chance and luck involved in this game it'd be ****ing boring, how would the crap teams get any better if they simply got replaced. This way it keeps it interesting
It's life
Life deals harsh blows u'll get on with it

guys get over it

i lost 2 players and u dont hear me complaining. my rookies are not going to set the wcc cricket world on fire. its all part of being a manager , u loose players and your youth come through.

s lee has retired from cricket in real life due to injuries and he is only in his early 30's so it does happen.

p rafter retired from tennis and he was at late 20's so lets just deal with the situation, have funa dn stop abusing the ppl that are trying to make this a fun and enjoyable pbem.

Also Aditya you have to remember that just becasue the rookies you got don't get into your star studded team, doesn't mean that everyone else sees/finds them usless! So you could still get a trade out of them.

Guys just place urself in my situation and see.It takes time to digest that 2 of my best players have gone for nothing.

Now i had got over it eventually.
