from the pavillion - another cricket game

[Bongo]

You must be losing a fortune every week, and I bet there are diminishing returns from investing so much

[amcgrath1uk]

I still have over 500k, losing a bit, but selling the bit part players help

[Bongo]

I have one more player in my senior squad, and the same in my youth squad (with one for sale...)

I think the player you sold for > 400k was more than a bit part player!

[amcgrath1uk]

true.. but I sold him cos a) he don't perform and b) I have better coming through

[Bongo]

I just realised how good some of my youths are...

all these are 17yo:

Capable bat/Capable WK
Capable bowler w/ gifted bowling and bouncer ability
Capable bowler w/ gifted endurance (not so sweet but better than nowt)
Reasonable bat/Reasonable bowler with gifted bowling and finisher ability
Reasonable bowler w/ prodigy
And another reasonable 17yo bowler too.

What have you got?

Err can I just say SWEET JESUS.. no wonder people are jealous of your squad!!

I've got 2 capable bowlers, neither with any decent talent worse luck ( BUT both 17yo!)
1 reasonable bowler with gifted tech
1 reasonable bat with reasonable tech ( skilled tech)

however I think my best player is an ordinary bat, average bowl who is a finisher with capable technique ( always performs!)

I've just promoted an 18yo reasonable bat ( as I'm short on batting in my seniors), and obv already have my 17yo reliable bowler in my seniors ( didn't read up on training properly did I lol)

The 1 thing my seniors do have going for them is that I have a v v young squad. Best current player is 25, with 2 fairly decent 22yo's as well as a good few 19yo's

[Bongo]

I promoted 2 18yr old reasonable bowlers, and 1 18yo reasonable bat, should help boost my ratings tomorrow, along with the 2 19yo reasonable bats i promoted and forgot about.

Still have 5 reasonable+ bowlers in the youth squad.

I'm a huge luck box, lol.

Hopefully I can help England in the PCC now

[amcgrath1uk]

Indeed.. I reckon you're looking approx 90k?? If I hit 82/83k i'll be fairly happy!

The one advantage if I play on a spinning pitch especially, is I have 4 bloody good senior spinners. They've not let me down.. so far

Should be an interesting game!

[Bongo]

We'll see tomorrow!

I'd like to get some huge number just to wind up Eggy, and that aussie dude.

I'm glad everyone seems to think I am a tactical fuckwit, despite the fact I just set a default team with everyone on normal many moons ago

[amcgrath1uk]

Yeah tell me about it, the only thing I've been annoyed about this season is that I'm in div V with my sillyly good team.

My main priorities are to a) get THE best player in the game and b) to have a better team than those 2 lol

[Bongo]

There's a div 5? 

Do you mean knights or spadge? I'm on about the dude who wasn't happy that he was no longer #1 in the world

I think you'll need to be very lucky/rich to have the best player in the world due to training!

[amcgrath1uk]

yeah there is believe it or not. Where I got bloody stuck. Div IV after this season for sure.

thats Scaly Piscine if memory serves.. naaa don't care about him.. Knights is actually ok, Spadge and Eggy are the 2 I want..

hopefully I'll get to play Eggy in a cpl of rounds time in the cup.. soooo praying for a home match!!

[Bongo]

he's just a moaner, on battrick too. Don't think it was him though!

[amcgrath1uk]

I'm not too fussed at the mo. Its a new game and its going to take a few seasons for me to get to Div 1 ( min 4, giving myself 6)

I want a POB style dominance lol

[Bongo]

Good luck with that, i'll settle for kev style luckboxing!
