The Original 8shes, Nails vs PB. Series 3 over.

[CrowsFan]

I'm keeping a record of the stats again aswell. Will be interesting to see the improvers and faliures. Lalla scored 155 off 8 innings last time, already on 97 now!

And Aronstam, the leading run scorer last time, only managed 6 today!

[PowerBug]

Amazingly Young and Aronstam both went 8 innings last season making double figures, yet today, both couldn't reach that! Sadique Watson had 7 from 7 last season, and made 25 today however. :)

Nails has two new players in his team, I'm actually scared now. Bariya made runs and Lynch took wickets, they have risen to the occasion, no nerves for those two!

[CrowsFan]

Cost of Nails' 12 players: $5,363,844
Cost of my 14 players: $2,464,520

Imagine if i didn't pay $1,080,500 for Zahra. Those figures are embarrasing for Nails. And the best player this series (Aronstam) i didn't even pay a single cent for, he was an average/dreadful YP of mine. :)

Cost of CF's 12 players: $22,309,887

Most recent rating: 79,504

Therefore I paid $280 per rating point  :-X

That is expensive. :P Anyone feel like creating a graph that links in age, ratings and money spent so we can find the best trendline to follow. ;D

Still plan on getting in another batter, but hopefully I can just pull one on Monday. Would be nice to have a Bermudan on my squad :)

[PowerBug]

That's not very loyal of you Mr. Bermudan manager.

[CrowsFan]

Saying it would be nice to have a Bermudan isn't loyal of me? ???

[PowerBug]

Syaing you have no Bermudan atm the disloyal thing. ;) Good that you are HOPING to get one as a youth pull though. :P

[CrowsFan]

That's because there haven't been any good ones for sale yet... :(

I'm nervous now.

[Nails]

Double cruisey victories, in short PB is flowered

Since I bought Lynch he has 25 wickets at an average of 12.28 for me in friendlies. He will win the 8shes off his own arm. He's currently the leading wicket taker this season, I think...

[PowerBug]

Correct he has 7 and then four bowlers are tied 2nd on 3. :P I'll chuck the stats leaders in the OP after the 3rd game. :)
