Nearly a good upset there Fletch! Unlucky for just the tie, but 1 loss all season 8).

Btw, I think on the most comments allowed on a page, FTP thread has cracked 1000 pages :).

will need to overhaul my squad with the sale of my 2 29 yr olds hopefully giving me a windfall in EOS to help rebuild

[Fletch74]

Well done Cic on your promotion ;)

Well, I've decided to sell as I have 2 more promising Medium pacers turning 18 coming through, one an AR. I won't sell until EOS, but what should I start him at?

Well, I got the pops I wanted for Francois, what would he sell for, if I were to sell at EOS?

[Cicjose]

50K cause his fielding is low for his age IMO

Avg fieling at 19yo is not too bad Cic... He's worth more than 50k ;)

EDIT: I've bought a couple of players in the past who've had avg fielding turning 20yo for a lot more than 50k

10 Wicket win. I really wanted to bat first to make sure of things against BB but lost the toss. As it turns out it didn't matter, BB struggled to win and lost a big chunk of NRR while I remained steady, Div 1 in T20 next year.  ;D . Mabothe took 5 in his last T20 game for us (I'm already keeping DiNozzo and I can't keep two 30 year old wages). DiNozzo 4

[valkorum]

I wondered why you went full strength against me BP.  Congrats on finishing 1st and good luck in Div 1 next season.  I will finish 8th in all my leagues so I will be demoting - but that was to be expected.

I think you could start at like 150k and hope for a bite. Has two handy talents and secondaries are decent. Skills could get somebody with the cash at EOS to perhaps get a bid.

Yeah basically I went full strength cause I felt that if I didn't promote this season I never would, especially with Mabothe leaving. I don't expect to be there more than 1 season but it was just to say I did it  :P

Hey you might get lucky and avoid relegation.  I would have done the same thing so dont feel bad.  Think of it as a learning experience for my players :)

Plus, it was the highest I have rated all season

By not checking my orders i think i have cost myself promotion. Should be Batting first with all my 19yo's playing, instead i'm bowling first with my three 19yo bats out. :-\ At least i remembered to put my 19yo Wristy i bought, in, so i still have that tag team of LWS/RWS bowling.
