You'll regret it.

If I lose, I will hate you for about a fortnight. Unless we get into the same Div 2 league HP. -____-

Haha ;D. I wonder if I could pull the upset so will be watching closely until I lose 8 wickets :P.

Haha BB :P. Also Nails, want to play on a pitch that disadvantages Spinner? :P.

No thanks :)

I realise I'll probably have 7 games in SOD that aren't spin friendly, but oh well. That's what Mamta/Texel are there for. :)


@BB - yes I did.

I realise and knew he'd probably be a bad purchase and not good for my side.

End of the day FTP is about having fun, and building an OLD spin empire is something I find very fun :) the fact I was crazy enough to do it against the advice of everyone makes it even more FUN for me :)

I'll kick myself for it later, but I enjoyed overpaying for him anyway.

Now If I can just get this guy for 55K or less... the spinner empire will be complete!

[Maca24]

Aslong as you enjoy it Nails!  :)
Will make our match next week very interesting! You might get your first win  ;)

He's a bit young for your team isn't he??

[bomberboy0618]

Nails, may I ask what are you on? You're better off throwing your money down the drain.
But w/e. Screw your team up if you want.

[Justin Bieber]

Haha Nails, was being sarcastic but can understand the mixup on a forum ;). May make me consider a different 3rd pitch for our Franchise but will see if I can compromise on that Dry :P. If you land another spinner, may be too hard to refuse ;).

End of over 3 (4 runs) - Hello(14-0). 170 runs required from 47 overs. RR 4.67 RRR 3.62
A. Habib 10 (10b) , K. Selth 4 (8b) , G. Ablett 2-0-5-0

[Nails]

Yeah, it's something I enjoy :)

Might be somewhat counter-productive, but it's only 85K  ;D

Teams should fear me when I select a dry home pitch!

@BB - FTP is a game, games you're meant to enjoy, I enjoy doing something that's COMPLETELY different, I find it fun having such a strong spin squad and all you guys thinking WTF am I doing lol. He'll be fun for a season :)

@Baz - I've only got 1 player other than Betts that's 30+ ;)

@HP - I know, that's why I was smiling :P

[PowerBug]

Go acadamies nails, think of the longer term.

His injecting a bit of youth into the side.
Nails, I am trying to help. I just do that like an asshole :P
Trust me, you will regret it as he will start plopping a lot soon, you will go to sell him and either not get much oercentage from the sale, or not make anything as you wait a while to get more from the sale.
You can find more balanced players who are younger for 83k.

I'll have 31yo (to be 32yo) Betts,

+ Currently: 30yo Mamta, 29yo Sreerupa and 27yo Ud-Din

Ud-Din has 5 seasons to go, Mamta 1-2 seasons, Sreerupa 3 seasons (if I get lucky w/ them)

But then I have exp/exp 20yo RM, 20yo RF, another 20yo RM and a 20yo LWS

I then also have 1x 24yo bat, 2x 21yo bat and 2x 20yo bat (1 a keeper)

Therefore my side except for 3-4 bowlers is YOUNG

G. Roberts 1 (6b) , A. DiNozzo 6 (9b) , J. Cartwright 10-0-59-3

Big total by BP, now looking even bigger   :'(

0.6 W Mabothe to Schumacher : Loud scream for LBW. The umpire pauses for a moment before raising the finger. Superb bowling from Mabothe, getting the ball to move off the seam.
M. Schumacher lbw b. F. Mabothe 1 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR:20.00

1.4 W DiNozzo to Gidley : [catch] Bouncer, and hooked straight to the man in the deep! Out!

End of over 2 (2 runs) - Ballpit Chaos(4-2). 292 runs required from 48 overs. RR 2.00 RRR 6.08

Meh...

[Justin Bieber]

Ouch Baz! On the backfoot already :-\.

6.4 W Ablett to Habib : Habib has gone for a massive swipe, but has only managed to toe the ball in the air straight to Daicos at mid-on.
A. Habib c P. Daicos b. G. Ablett 16 (22b 2x4 0x6) SR:72.73

First to fall but in comes Wilmink who will hopefully stay in for the innings.
