Look at my team. Haven't paid over 30k for a single guy 8). All 23 or under with the majority 20 this season.

29 years old means he is on his decline. Won't get any better, only worse :(.

Got to be worth his skills now hopefully.

Yeah I don't know why i did pay that much, it was a PANIC TRANSFER! ;)

Just picked up a couple of nice 19 year olds. I now have SCOTTISH POWER~! ;D. It does mean I'm probably going to have sell at least one and I think it may be Treumer who despite still being up to it is 28. It's either he or Brown (Who's 26 but both have the Rel-Acc bowling set so whoever stays for the moment remains number 5 bowler)

I stocked up end of last season. Now the youths moving up will slow down a bit.

I love the Scottish, Dutch and Kiwi :-*.

End of season there is normally quite a lot of 19 - 20 year olds on the transfer market. Always good to keep an eye out

roo boys! · August 14, 2010, 07:15:03 PM

Yeah I have noticed that they have started to come out.

I got my team RB finally, will start bidding for players.

Justin Bieber · August 14, 2010, 09:53:17 PM

Nice Rob 8). 1 more week to the season then about a few days to get ready for next season.

Might bid on 19 y.o's to keep in my senior squad. Get their skills up for 1 or 2 seasons, then sell for more 8).

roo boys! · August 14, 2010, 11:09:47 PM

Cool rob, season is just about finished so good time to come.

valkorum · August 20, 2010, 02:58:12 PM

A very nice finish to my season with a win today.

Valk: 4/439 (opening stand of 345)
Opp: 10/44

Win by 395 runs.

Senior One Day - 1st (undefeated)
Youth One Day - 2nd (2 losses)
Senior T20 - 1st (undefeated)

I will promote in both senior leagues but as my youth leage is a div 6, only the 1st place team promotes.

BratPack · August 20, 2010, 04:07:01 PM

Pretty nice win for The Brat Pack 2nd XI (Or 8 youngsters and 3 Originals)

The Pack: 8/339 (Sim helped himself to another 150, with two unbeaten in 5 innings he averages 157.67, not bad for a keeper batsman, Drennan and Chancellor made half centuries as well)
Opp: 10/86 (The FOREIGN LEGION POWER~! destroyed them. Three to Stewart, my youth from Scotland, 2 to Khodaiji the Indian, 2 to Joubert the South African and one to Johnson aka BERMUDAN POWER~!)

valkorum · August 20, 2010, 04:09:01 PM

How did everyone finish in their leagues?

Justin Bieber · August 20, 2010, 04:41:10 PM

Nice wins you two :). Won mine as well batting second. Had a second string side in with 3 of my best players taking the week off again ;D.

Undefeated in One Day and T20 leagues. 3rd in youth but hopfully will get promoted next season. 2 of my better youth bowlers are getting moved to the senior squad making way for 2 more average/average bowlers who will have another season after next in them.

Getting in some 19 y.o's for 1k now so that I can build them up and sell them next season. Or if they are good prospects, in a season or two for much more 8).

BratPack · August 20, 2010, 04:52:44 PM

3rd in one day, 4th in T20, 2nd in Youth, Not too bad considering I only signed up 2/3rd's of the way in. I'll soon have to do some spring cleaning as my youngsters keep improving, but I think I'll wait till the end of season/beginning of new season rush clears

roo boys! · August 20, 2010, 05:30:32 PM

My game was going a bit off track with my innings but then a youth and my captain notched up a 218 run partnership off 133 balls to finish it off both not out.

Opponent got bowled out for 61 which was a bit disappointing seeing that he was 1st and I was 3rd. Taylor took 4 fa 12 from 5 :D

Finished:
1st in Youth
3rd in Senior One Day
And somewhere in the middle, I think about 4th or 5th in T20

Looking forward to my first full season next season.
