lol yeah got me at first as well!! at least he's a monkey now - £65k more than i was hoping i'd get him for but means i can throw him into tomorrow's FC game and put another player on the transfer list

[amcgrath1uk]

Not bad player either, can pop pretty quick in secondaries at that age so could be quick profit too

[Sheriff Fatman]

sigh, i find a player with 15 minutes of bidding left at a half decent price - i bid £145k for him

imagine my surprise with 30 seconds left that i still have the highest bid until suddenly someone tries to whisk him from under my nose - bugger, so who is it trying to steal him from under my nose?!?!?!

SheriffsStars!! Grrrrr  and now thanks to that someone else has now decided to join in the bidding and its up to £210k and rising - cheers mate

The first bid was a genuine attempt at him.  The subsequent ones were just to put you on tilt!

I particularly enjoyed letting the 3 extra minutes almost expire on one of them before putting a minimum bid in again.

Oh the joys of having cash in the bank!

aye, unfortunately some of us aren't lucky enough to find someone adding an extra zero by mistake to a sale

our next friendly should be interesting though, a few of the monkeys will be gunning a little harder for the stars after being told we've had to cut the mid-inning interval banana budget to pay for our recent purchase!!

[Bongo]

Bowled them out for 62. Just need to score some runs now!

[amcgrath1uk]

I'm obviously going to find this much tougher this season.  Playing a team rated below me.  they have 2  100K+ players!!
Put them into bat on a Green wicket and bowled them out for 169.  However, i'm now struggling at 153-6.  Any sort of a 1st innnings lead here will be handy, as runs seem to be hard to come by.  Probably all over tomorrow, though im hoping to get into the final day for the money.

[Nakor]

I am getting destroyed by the team that finished 3rd last season and the Team that finished 2nd last time out almost lost in 1 day to one of the newboys.
Long hard season ahead. . . . . again.

[vegaslover]

Hmm strange day again against a bot. Only 1 of my players got a score, thankfully it was a double ton. Should bowl em out easy enough tommorow and then hold out for 3 days as at home and just spent 150K on a stadium upgrade
