I'm getting a bit scared here :(
Vine is at 59k with almost 3 hours to go. Some noon is being an idiot and bidding now

Dexter Morgan a worthy inductee :D Set to play his 50th SOD game for you next Friday, taken 109 SOD wickets while at Hello, at an average of 10.44. He is a gun!
Morgan also has the most catches as a fielder, and the most runouts of anyone at Hello, with Goss second.

Thanks for this info Alex :). Morgan was a no-brainer. He's a Cult Figure "Somewhere In The Clouds" ;). Goss Pips McFarlane but not by much. If Flanagan is available next season, McFarlane may have to wait another season!

Gee that would suck for him. Harsh, he has been around for ages as well.

Gee I wish I had players that had been around that long *is jealous*

That is what I'm hoping these 20 year olds turn into, new crop all will have relevant talents and it will leave me with 6 20 y.o, 1 21 y.o, 2 22 y.o, 2 23 y.o and a 24 y.o. They are will all play at least 1 game each week as I transition them in :)

Nevermind, turns out he only made 2 purchases but he spent 160k so it is impossible he will go over my 140k budget.

[Alex7089]

Just picked up Vint for 99k. Huge overpay but I got the man I wanted and now he is straight onto fielding training to cap, then endo to cap, then primaries 8)

Just realiesd I can''t sell Pritchard until I get 1 more senior :(
Oh well he won't play... Much :P

Thinking I am going to let my ratings take a hit next season and change my lineup drastically to accommodate younger players...

* Current XI *
1. D. Vincent (28, outs exp)
2. D. Daryapurkar (28, exp exp)
3. T. Jackman (27, accom exp)
4. W. Shagmeister (22, ave exp)
5. B. Yavar (24, reas exp)
6. A. Collins (20, ave exp)
7. P. Jackson (21, ave exp)
8. M. Pritchard (29, excep exp)
9. S. Junior (22, cap exp)
10. K. Srimal (29, accom exp)
11. A. Sodumo (23, ord exp)

Quite a few oldies in there...Looking to replace them with this XI next season (NOTE: Ages given in this team are for next season)

1. 20 y.o with opener/seam spec. (20)
2. D. Daryapurkar (29)
3. W. Shagmeister (23)
4. A. Linton (22)
5. G. Chapman (20) (BH)
6. A. Collins (21)
7. G. Vint (20)
8. P. Jackson (22)
9. S. Junior (23)
10. R. Van Winden (20) Hoping I'll get him, accom/accom rf.
11. A. Sodumo (24)

Now I'll play the second team in almost every game but rip out the oldies for any tough games I have.
Not worried about rankings just want to build up their exp.

[roo boys!]

Wait...you are selling Vincent? :o

I might buy him ;)

[Alex7089]

Wasn't planning on it, I was just going to only play him in close games, but depends what your starting price is :P

[roo boys!]

If he isn't going to be in your team next year I will buy him next season?

Should I bat or bowl first on a slow pitch?

[Alex7089]

OK then. Third time lucky with us I guess :P

Hmmm...I'd bat myself, try and post a good score then a few tight overs to start their innings and they are stuffed.

[roo boys!]

Yeah I chose bat ;D


I sure hope it's third time lucky, he's a gun.

[Alex7089]

He is a gun, 2 unbeaten double centuries in a season. He is like 3rd for runs scored in the league in half the games :P

What do you think of that guy? He has terrible secondaries but nice primaries so I could afford to spend a couple of seasons building those up.

[roo boys!]

He's OK..

He's a bit like Stevenson. Fasty with good primaries but suffer for secondaries. Except this guy has low experience too...Don't go too high.

[Alex7089]

Yeah but playing T20 & SOD from 20 he would be able to catch up to Stevenson (reas) by 24 almost 25.
His primaries won't be as good though because I am training him to cap endo and fielding before I do anything else :P
