Personally I would fire Pb but its up to you if you wanna try your luck on the market.

I will try my luck on the market, it's only 1k and i get all the sale price. Wallace will go on later today.

Getting rid of the wage will help heaps and I suggest using the money for academy investment

This is EXCELLENT advice cookie  :)  I will explain why...

Nails, if you got rid of your 6 oldest players (except Ud-Din) and replaced them with 4 $3k waged 20yo's, you would have approx $40k extra each week through saved wages. Then you could put this extra $$$ into your SA, while still being competitive in your current leagues.

@CF - maybe getting rid of him to keep Cookie happy :P lol

The only reason I'm getting rid of anyone = after wages I'm -~$24,000 (i.e. NEGATIVE 24K)

But, you're always like that Nails. You'd better start learning one day :P

As Fletch said, you need to start thinking about the future of your team, not just this season   ;)  I don't think it's too late to change your approach, as long as you change it very soon.

End of over 15 (4 runs) - The Nailers(47-0). 134 runs required from 35 overs. RR 3.13 RRR 3.83
M. Christie 20 (53b) , R. Simon 22 (38b) , B. Moser 2-1-6-0

Solid start to the chase against HP. HP dropped Christie early (3rd ball) but since then it has been flawless by the boys.

Ready for your butt kicking to commence in 46 minutes HP?

I had an Economics exam on earlier so jsut got on to see the game :P. Indeed didn't score the 200 standard I normally set. Hopefully my economy bowlers can do well on the Dry/Humid. Quite a few are on A though :P.

21.5 W Sreedhar to Christie : [stumped] Smart stumping! Pushed across Christie, who drives lustily and misses, dragging the back foot forward and Kimathi, after collecting nicely, whips off the bails just before Christie could drag the foot back in.
M. Christie st C. Kimathi b. K. Sreedhar 25 (70b 0x4 0x6) SR:35.71

Guys, let it go or the whole FTP forum will get closed down.

Now that I'm a Mod, I have some power :P. I will write something up a bit later about warnings and whatnot. Too lazy now and have lunch :D.

Still in a good position, at the same point in his innings HP was 3/73.

The difference is, you'll collapse to be all out by 150 :P.

What do you expect from a Spec/Spec Spinner on a Dry/Humid? :P.

My batting is a lot stronger than it used to be HP :P

My bowlers tend to do their job when needed, even against Great Batters ;).

DANG YOU MOSER!!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:(.

J. Reardon 7 (7b) , H. McDonald 3 (3b) , B. Moser 7-1-34-0

Horrible over by Moser which included a 6 >:(. RR required is healthy, hopefully the wickets fall. Have 12 Defensive overs and 7 Aggressive overs coming up ;D.

On a side note, quite a few 16 y.o's are finishing today so I'm hopefully going to snag 1-3 :D.
